27 Aug Dog Hair Everywhere? Try These Top Tools for a Fur-Free Home

You’re one of the best pet parents around. And when it comes to having a furry family member with four legs, this isn’t your first rodeo. Or maybe it is…but you thought you were prepared. Between potty training and behavior training, tricks for treats and meal times, you were ready to take on man’s best friend in the best ways possible. Experienced or not, you probably figured teething and marking would be the worst of your worries. And yet…

Nothing could prepare you for just how much pet fur is covering every surface of your house!

There’s dog hair everywhere. Ok, so ya knew your dog was a shedder, but who knew it could get that bad? Every time you turn around, there’s another sprinkle of doggy glitter. Houseguests could easily assume your dog is bald by now. Everyone eats, drinks, and breathes fur.

No need to sweat the small stuff. Help is on its way! There are plenty of options to get all that extra hair out of your hair. Explore the list of amazing and easy-to-use dog hair removal tools below and find the one that’s right for you!

Chom Chom Roller

Your hound dog knows the rules about furniture, but when you brought your brand new couch home, he just couldn’t help himself. It looked so comfortable! He was so excited fur just seemed to explode off him. Ditch the lint roller, there’s something better. This helpful gadget will remove the fur without having to deal with sticky tape. The reusable furniture saver doesn’t require batteries or cords, so you can take it with you on the go.

Fur-Zoff Pet Hair Remover

She loves treats, long walks on the beach, and rubbing her back and face on the carpet until the itch is gone (plus she feels a little lighter every time she scoots along the fibers). Your vacuum is heavy and downstairs and her squirming maneuvers, while adorable, just added another fifteen minutes to your housework. That is, unless you have a product like this handy. Just run it gently over fabric and it will grab all the puppy dust your hound dog has to give. Wipe it clean and toss the remains (or use the pile of fur to build a life-size replica of your best friend).

FurZapper Pet Hair Remover for Laundry

Oops! You committed the ultimate doggy sin: petting another dog while you were away. You apologized, but he just isn’t hearing it. Be in his good graces once more. Get rid of the offending scent of another dog forever with this nifty product that pulls the hair from your clothes. It works in both the washer and dryer. The FurZapper saves time and effort by attracting the fur like a magnet, reducing the time it takes to clean your clothes.

Pet Grooming Glove

Head pets and belly rubs and butt scratches, oh my! There’s no such a thing as too much attention when it comes to your dog. She wants to feel loved, and you want to get rid of some of her excess fur. With this product, you can meet in the middle and get something you’ll both enjoy. This grooming glove helps you collect any loose fur all while giving her a good rub down or massage…and since the glove can get wet, you can use it during bath time, too!

Bissell Pet Hair Eraser

Your dog insists that it’s called furniture for a reason. You insist that just because the word furniture has “fur” in it, doesn’t mean you want fur on it. There’s no compromising on this one. That’s exactly why Bissell came up with their Pet Hair Eraser. This nifty handheld vacuum has a rubber attachment that helps attract and pull unwanted hair from fabric. It’s lightweight and innovative design helps you get into otherwise hard to reach areas that are magnets for piles of pet hair.

Professional Deshedding Tool

If your hound dog has thick fur, there can be more contributing to the state of your hair-covered house than what meets the eye. Get to the root of the shedding problem by taking care of your dog’s undercoat. This fine tooth comb pulls up dead hair without hurting your dog, effectively stopping the shedding before it starts.

Uproot Clean Xtra – Pet Hair Removal Broom

Since their creation, vacuums and dogs have been mortal enemies. They rival each other in who can be the loudest (our money is still on the Beagle). Luckily, there’s an effective alternative to vacuuming up dog hair. With this self-cleaning product, you can rake up your dog’s fur without the fuss. You’ll appreciate the clean, and Fido or Fifi will appreciate the quiet.

Kong Zoom Groom

So your hound dog decided today would be a good day to roll in the mud puddle at the bottom of the driveway. You said “No!” but all he heard was “Mud baths smell so good!”. He 10/10 does not regret it, even though a sudsy non-mud bath is in his near future. Not to worry, though. You can give him a good rub down that not only aids in washing the dirt out, but also gathers up any loose fur without getting it all over your hands. The rubber tips on this product make bath time feel like a massage for your pampered pup.

Shark Navigator Lift-Away Deluxe

If your dog is allowed in every room in the house and the job is just too big for small products, this vacuum is the closest you’ll get to a miracle. The lightweight model comes apart for easy cleaning on carpet, stairs, and everywhere else dog hair can hide from a traditional vacuum. It also has a pet power brush made specifically for pet hair cleanup in hard to reach surfaces.

These fantastic products are here to help deal with the excess pet hair in your life, but at the end of the day, you don’t have to spend a heck of a lot of time to get the fur under control. Grab a simple inexpensive squeegee and use it to scrape hair into a pile making it oh-so-quick-and-easy to vacuum.

Or try covering your furniture with a washable slipcover, sheet, or quilted blanket (avoiding the typical fleecy ones that hold onto hair and just never let go). This makes pet hair removal before guests come over as simple as throwing the cover in the wash, and protects your upholstery.

Another pro tip? Groom your dog regularly. This reduces shedding and can go a long way in keeping unwanted fur out of your house. Even brushing alone can make a huge difference in how much hair your dog is leaving behind!
