Hypoallergenic is a term first coined in 1964 by a small cosmetics company based in Hyattsville, Maryland, and used by the advertising industry (based on the Greek prefix hypo meaning "below" or "less"), that designates the characteristic of provoking fewer allergic reactions in allergy sufferers, to have a decreased tendency to cause allergies. Hypoallergenic pets still produce allergens, but because of their coat type or absence of fur, typically produce less than others of the same species. People with severe allergies and asthma might still be affected by a hypoallergenic pet.
