Being covered with scales, reptiles are one of the only truly hypoallergenic pets there are. They make great pets for several reasons. They don’t require a lot of attention and many don’t need a large space. Additionally, they come in a large variety of colors and shapes.
2. Fish
Fish are also covered in scales, and are thus hypoallergenic pets. There is a wide range of beautiful and interesting fish available that are appropriate for home aquariums, including fresh and saltwater species. Fish tanks can be scaled to the appropriate size for your home. In addition, watching fish swim has a soothing effect on many people.
3. Airedale Terrier
Airedale terriers are medium-sized dogs with a wiry brown and black top coat and a softer undercoat.

8. Parakeets
Parakeets, or budgies, make great pets because of their small size, beautiful coloration, and social nature.

9. Sphynx Cat
The Sphynx is a breed of hairless cats developed in Canada. They have a very inquisitive nature and like being the center of attention.

10. Frogs
Frogs make for very interesting pets, that can be long-lived and beautiful to look at. They are considered hypoallergenic pets because of their lack of fur, and because they are contained to tanks, limiting contact with you and the environment. Popular kept frog species include the Pacman Frog and the White’s Tree Frog.
