Many people who would like to have a pet are put off by the fact that cats and dogs will inevitably start to shed, which, you must admit, causes a lot of inconvenience.

Therefore, it is worth remembering that there are many breeds in which shedding is practically unnoticeable.

Cats

The first place in this list is occupied by sphinxes and their "relatives" such as bambino, elf and others. These animals have almost no fur, which means that they have nothing to shed.

"Silver" goes to Siamese cats, whose smooth fur lies close to the body. If such a cat sheds, it is very little and only during the change of seasons.

The same can be said about the Abyssinian cat, whose unusual hair coat pleases the owner exclusively on the pet’s body.

Dogs

Among dogs, representatives of such a breed as the Airedale Terrier, whose curly coat resembles wire, are not prone to shedding.

You will be surprised, but in the context of our conversation we can also mention the Maltese lapdog, which has luxurious long hair - it has no undercoat.

Finally, if you don't want to run into your pet's short hairs everywhere, consider dogs with short, very soft coats, such as the Basenji.
