Pet Hair Removal Tips

I have to chime in on the Dyson too. It's pricey, but worth it. The first time I vacuumed my living room with the dyson it picked up an entire canister of hair and allergens (and I had just vacuumed with my old vacuum the day before). My husband walked into the living room afterwards and said he could smell the difference- the house seemed fresher.

We recently purchased The Pet Hair Eraser vacuum by Bissell. It works wonderfully on our carpets. It is the only sweeper that we have found so far that seems to pick up all of the dog hair. We purchased ours at Best Buy but I have seen them at other stores as well. Hope that helps.

Hi A.,
I don't want to sound like an infommercial but here goes. We had my brothers dog for a few months and he left hair in our carpet really bad. We would vacuum constantly even after the dog was gone. Do you know that his hair was in our carpet for 4+ years. Then we saw it on tv the most amazing invention ever, The "One Sweep"! We didn't buy it right away we thought there is no way that broom can do that. A year later we went to CVS pharmacy and passed by their 'as seen on tv' aisle. and there sat the one sweep. It only cost us ten dollars and we were very curious if it would work. We took it home and tried it. In a matter of minutes Dog hair that had been in our rug for years just lifted right out without harming our rug. It was AMAZING! We liked it so much we bought another one. We use them not just for our carpets but to clean cement floors like our porch or basement, we also use it every summer to help clean our pool. It really is a great investment that cost very little money. I own my own housekeeping business and have found out that a Dyson can be a good vacuum but they break down pretty easily. As a dog and cat owner I don't believe in leaving animals out alot cuz I would not leave my child out all day either thats how your pet can be exposed to illnesses and diseases. The 'One Sweep' is inexpensive and easy to use even for large rooms. I use it in customers homes if they have bad pet hair problems. If you are looking for a good vacuum I recomend a Hoover upright with the bag because bagless even dyson loses suction very quick, or as I use at home a Kenmore Progressive canister it is an awesome vacuum. It may cost about $400.00 but is a great house vacuum. Good luck with your hair problem and congrads on adding to your family.

years ago our vet told us to put tablespoon of oil in our dog's bowl of food but she was a german shepard. So i don't know what our dog's weight is but you can adjust the amount.i would use olive oil maybe it is healthier for the dog too. Then put 1 part alfa carry oil or avon's sss bath oil to 7 parts water in a spray bottle and mist the dog with it and then brush it into it's hair to moisturize it's skin. That should help cut down on the shedding. Hope this help's
good luck and god bless

Hello,
I have just heard this, haven't yet been able to try it. But if you take one part liquid fabric softener to two parts water. spray it on your carpet let it set over night, and vacuum in the morning. This is supposedly supposed to bring up more fur. Like I said I haven't gotten a chance to try it yet, but if anything I would think it would help make the carpet smell better and feel softer which is always a bonuses.

Hi: A.:
I'm not sure where you live, but you should really check into a professional dog groomer. I know that they have a product that releases the fur... I think it's call furiature...I'm sure that's not how to spell it. I've seen the pictures before and after, and Oh my gosh, what a difference. I wish I would have know about this product when we had a cocker.

Hi there! Arm and Hammer makes a product called "Pet Fresh" or something close to that... Target carries it, it is basically baking soda and another agent that bonds to the hair and allows it to vaccuum more efficiently. It is less than $2 a box, and I have found that it works quite well. It is in the pet aisle. I am sure Petsmart would carry it as well. Good luck!
