Dog Hair Everywhere
Whether you are a professional groomer, a student groomer or a dog owner, picking up dog hair is going to be a daily chore. It doesn’t matter if you are clipping Cockapoos, cutting Maltese hair or brushing Yorkies, cleaning up the hair afterwards will be an ongoing battle.
For many, this can aggravate allergies.
For others, personal grooming is made all the more difficult because of the way that dog hair simply jumps at your clothes. Not a good look at the best of times. Sure, you can use one of the many pet hair remover tools for tackling fur build up on clothes but when it comes to large areas, such as your house or a salon, then you need a more heavy duty solution.
Rather than clog an ordinary house vacuum cleaner here are some solutions that are dedicated to dealing with pet hair as well as the usual household dust and grime.

Dog Hair Vacuum for a Car
If you are like most dog owners, then I’m sure you transport your dog with you on a frequent basis.
But, the build up of dog hair can be a massive headache, especially if you have cloth seats in your car. Getting dog hair out of car carpets and seats will be a never-ending chore, especially if your dog malts profusely.
The ideal dog hair remover for car seats is one that allows you to manoeuvre in between seats and around small spaces.
This nifty handheld vacuum for pet hair has been extremely popular with dog owners, not just for the car but also for household furniture. I like the fact that it is cordless and comes with a tool for getting into those tricky crevices.
