Is there smart way to get rid of dog hair in the house ? i vaccum everyday !?

Answer 1

Nothing works great but it can help to be sure the dog(s) are on a good diet and to brush them every day.

Answer 2

Sadly, no. Children may create more mess on tables and walls and furniture, but the floor is usually where dogs rule, in terms of messes. They track in dirt from outside and shed constantly.

Of course, humans shed tons too. Don't clean your bathroom for a bit and just see how much hair is on the sinks, tub, shower and floor! So it's only natural for dogs to have hair everywhere.

If you are in the northern hemisphere, the days are now getting longer. More light automatically triggers a dog's body to shed the thick winter coat in preparation for the summer. So you will see an excessive amount of shedding now. And, of course, there are some breeds that shed non-stop year round.

My advice is to get a great vacuum and just accept it. The only alternative is to limit your dog to certain rooms. I'm not a fan of an "outside" dog at all. Not all dogs are meant to live outside year round. Plus, why force a social pack creature to live this solitary life? It's cruel. I love playing with my dogs too, so having them outside all the time won't work for me.

Some tricks I have learned over the years are using various carpet sprays or powders meant especially for pets. These are meant to not only make the carpet (and the room) smell great, but also help attract more dog hairs. Using them once every few weeks is a great way to keep your carpets extra clean. Look for them at any supermarket with the cleaning supplies.

Answer 3

LOL...I have cats BUT they are shedding little dickens too.

Yes, vacuum, dust, wipe down tables, counters, ect.

Before I go to bed I put plastic (g.bags) on the furniture that needs to be protected from "furry beasts".

Also A LOT of grooming does the job. Time consuming but necessary. Especially when every season changes.

Does your dog have a thick undercoat? Sometimes ALL the outside coat brushing does no good if the undercoat is thickened up with loose hair.

Well ma'am there is no surefire way to get ur dogs hair out of ur house, but here are some tips to stop it from spreading.

1. Dont let ur dog spend long periods of time lying on ur furniture.

2. Let ur dog rest and lie around outdoors when the ground is dry in the spring and fall (be carefull, summer heat might cause the dog harm.)

3. When ur dog is in ur house, keep him in specific areas, dont let him wander ur house. This will make cut your vacuming time down significantly.
P.S. Remember, ur dog is an animal that cant stop itself from shedding. In fact, shedding is a sigh that ur dog is healthy, unless he is really overshedding, in which case call ur vet.

Answer 5

The only thing I can think of to help keep the hairs down is to brush ur dog everyday and keep a air purifier going --it will suck up pet dander--and check some of the foams out that u spray before u vacuum cause they will cut down on vacuuming time --have an ingredient that loops the hairs together.

Answer 6

I have had dogs & cats all my life. I clean house for a living there is no way of getting rid of all the dog hair. So you will just have to live with it. I do sweep about two times a week.

Answer 7

get an undercoat hair rake for the dog and brush it regularly. We have two dogs... a shepherd and a lab mix. This time of year is the worst because the dogs usually blow coat in the spring and fall. We bathe them, strip out as much hair as you can, and then brush them frequently. That, and we have berber carpet to hide the hair, lol.

Answer 8

No but you could trying shampooing the carpets once in a while. It should help out with the problem. Either that ot make the dog an outside dog.

Answer 9

NO I am sorry - I have a yellow lab and I too vacuum every day and I could do it twice a day - brushing the dog several times a day helps a little

Answer 10

Well, I have a St.Bernard, and when she blows, the hair is just something else. I gather it, and give to a lady who uses the hair for spinning cloths. We also vacuum daily. Our biggest problem, is that we let her sit on the furniture with us, she is just a big baby and loves to sit and watch t.v. but her hair gets stuck in the fabric real easy, we are constantly picking hair out. My son won't let her in his house or car, but he comes over and takes hair with him, drives him crazy. A quick pick up idea is ...........get a paper towel damp, rub over the furniture or the floor to grab the hair, works great in cars.
