Is there a scientific name for dog hair? If there is, what is it?

I'm pretty sure that most just refer to dog hair as "dog hair," but you might find it interesting that animal hair is divided into three categories:

* Guard hairs that form the outer coat of an animal and provide protection

* Fur or wool hairs that form the inner coat of an animal and provide insulation

* Tactile hairs (whiskers) that are found on the head of animals and provide sensory functions

Is there any way to reduce dog hair shedding?

I hear there's nothing to do for shedding. My vet had some stuff that's taken by mouth and he actually told me not to waste my money on it! My dog sheds terribly and all that I can tell you is I love my swiffer sweeper for the wood floors and I keep my vac handy which doesn't do much and I keep a big roll of clear packing tape with scissors nearby and that's what I use to pull most of the hair off the furniture. I know some people that shave their dogs bare but then I'd think you'd have little tiny hair all over which would be just as bad! Good luck, I hope your dog is worth the hair, ours is!

get a shedding comb and brush dog every week or so til there is nothing left to shed.

Is there any OTC medication for dog hair allergy that works?

Is there any OTC medication for dog hair allergy that works?

Listen, the problem isn't the medication... It's the dog hair. I find that people generally are not seeing the picture clearly when it comes to pets.... If you are allergic to dog hair, then you have to something about the dog. Either you need to bathe the dog more frequently, get rid of your carpeting (which holds on to the dog hair forever), or make the dog an outside dog. Animal dander gets into everything and you have to take aggressive steps to get rid of it. Allergies tend to worsen with time if you keep exposing yourself to the allergen! At a minimum get the dog professionally groomed frequently and remove any unnecessary carpeting in your house. That will help more than any OTC meds.

How do you get ALL the dog hair out of your carpet?

Actually, having carpet is better for a dog's joints -- hardwood floors can really do a number on their knees and hips over time, as they bound around each day. I have a dog, and the best investment I made was a Dyson Animal DC-14. It gets ALL the hair and then some out of the carpet. My best advice is to invest in a great vacuum with a carpet brush. When I want to get extra hair out of the carpet, I get on my hands and knees with the carpet brush, and I brush against the grain of the carpet, and then with the grain. All this stuff comes out!

How do you get ALL the dog hair out of your carpet?

well if a really good vacume won't work.. and you're still not happy after you have the pros come and clean it for you.. you may just haveta get a new carpet and not let the dog in the house.

How do you get ALL the dog hair out of your carpet?

you never can get all the hair out, but if you get on your hands and knees and just rub you get a good amount of it out. The only real way is to get rid of the dog, but who wants to do that. Dog hair is just part of being an animal lover. Also, try using a wet wash rag and rub it across your carpet.

How do you get ALL the dog hair out of your carpet?

What is the best vacuume for dog hair on low pile area carpets that won't lose power?

If you have a tight budget, you can try the Hoover Whirlwind. I just got one because my Husky sheds huge amounts of hair and our regular vac just wasn't cutting it. The Hoover Whirlwind is working magic with the hair! It doesn't use bags, it has a filter and everytime you use it, you can see all the hair and dirt it picks up. It's amazing, sometimes there will be no trace of hair on the carpet and I'll vaccum, and it picks up all the hair that is deep into the carpet. My floors look so much cleaner and people that come over notice the difference!

How long does it take for dog hair to grow back?

it depends what type of dog it is.

usually 3-6 months,

hope this helps, why did you want to know, just curious

How long does it take for dog hair to grow back?

It depends on the type of dog. But it grows a lot slower than human hair.

If it's a long hair breed, naturally it will take longer for it to grow back because if it's length.

If it's a short hair breed it will appear to grow back more quickly.

How long does it take for dog hair to grow back?

Provided the dog does not continue to lick or scratch the area and if he has an undercoat or not, between a month and two seasons. Longer for long haired breeds.

How long does it take for dog hair to grow back?

It depends on why the hair is missing to begin with. If it fell out because of poor nutrition or illness, it may never grow back, or it could take several months before the dog's health recovers enough to grow it back.

If the dog was shaved for some reason, it grows back a little slower than human hair. You'll see stubble after a few days, and depending on the original length of the hair, it could take a few weeks to a few months. My hound has short hair (about 1/3"), and it took about 6 weeks to grow out from being shaved down to the skin on her belly.

What is the best vaccuum that picks up dog hair/pet hair?

I bought a new vacuum back in June....I read the Consumer Reports rating.

They had rated the Kenmore vac $350 as #1 for pet hair. Next was the Eureka Boss SmartVac as #2 $150.

I bought the Eureka and I love it. I have two Ragdolls, and they shed like crazy. I vacuum about two-three times a week.

It rates higher for pet hair than the Dyson Animal, and it costs far less. Of course, I've never used a Dyson, so I have no way to really compare, but I didn't want to spend that much on a vacuum!

I have a lurcher who leaves so much dog hair behind you wouldn't believe!

What is the best vaccuum that picks up dog hair/pet hair?

I agree with a couple of the people that already have answered. We have 6 dogs and we have a Dyson Animal it is the best vaccum in the world... We had just a standard upright and we always thought the floor was clean untill we used a Dyson! It works wonders a little on the pricey side but long lasting and working great! It actualy picks up bigger items as well...Great vaccum!

Honestly, a lint brush is the only way to go.....good luck!!

What can i use to get dog hair out of car interior?

Found a perfect gadget for that same problem. Check your local pet store.

It is a rubber brush and it removes pet hair, fuzz and anything else, so easy. I can't think of the name of it.

It is black, with flat rubber bristles.

What can i use to get dog hair out of car interior?

Wow, very good question! Easily.. Not too much.. If you want to spend some time at it, vacuum, and get those rollers that have the sticky tape, and roll the whole interior of the car.. Won't get it all, but you can get most of it :)

What can i use to get dog hair out of car interior?

Go to WalMart and get some spray call Static Guard. Its in the laundry section. spray the seats with that and then vacuum them. It is helps break the static bond of the dog hair to the fabric interior. I use this stuff every where I get dog hair. Just don't use it on vinyl or leather.

What can i use to get dog hair out of car interior?

I get better results using the clear packing tape rolled around my hand (sticky side out). It is cheaper to use than a lint brush and has a stronger sticky substance. As the tape gets full of hair, toss and get another piece. I have one of those rubber brushes (doesn't work for me), as well as a red brush that has a knappy, velour type of material that works ok. I stick (no pun intended) to the tape method for almost every surface in my car and home.

What can i use to get dog hair out of car interior?

You can try a damp chamois cloth also !! Good Luck !!

Lint rollers or heavy duty tape. It'll take off most of it, but not all of it. And, it takes a long time!

Have you tried taking a broom to it. Take it out doors and sweep it. Hope this helps...:)

My woven rug is covered in dog hair from my pup, how do I clean it? Vaccuum does not work?

Try adjusting the height of the roller of your vac. Also try some of those tape rolley thingies made just for removing dog hair. 3M makes some and they roll the dog hair right off and work great. You have to keep removing the tape with the hair to get a new sticky surface.

My woven rug is covered in dog hair from my pup, how do I clean it? Vaccuum does not work?

Try wadding up some duct tape and pick it up with the tape.

My woven rug is covered in dog hair from my pup, how do I clean it? Vaccuum does not work?

Easy !

it might be a lot of work if you have a large rug but this really works .

Wear a rubber glove and with a brushing motion of your hand pull toward you, you will pick up all the hair.

And if you have hairs on a sweater you can put a bit of masking tape around your hand and do the same .

My woven rug is covered in dog hair from my pup, how do I clean it? Vaccuum does not work?

Try the LINT ROLLERS, they are very inexpensive and you can get them almost any where near the cleaning section of Wal Mart, K Mart, Target, etc. It is a roller that has sticky tape on the outside and it works pretty well.

What is the most kid friendly dog? And which kind of dog hair or fur is best for an allergic person.

I have a Toy Poodle X Shih-Tzu (Shoodle) and she doesn't shed hair, neither of those breeds do........

I think a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel would be good as a family dog..... (used to own one)

Poodles are smart but Border Collies are the smartest dog you can get :-)

What is the most kid friendly dog? And which kind of dog hair or fur is best for an allergic person.?

We have a pugapoo, which is a mix between a pug and a poodle. I know it sounds hideous, but it is the cutest dog ever. He is so smart and lovable. His fur is hypoalergenic and it does not shed. He looks a lot like a wire-haired terrier. He is very low to the ground and very solid, so he can roughhouse with the kids, but he does not take the work that a large dog requires.

What is the most kid friendly dog? And which kind of dog hair or fur is best for an allergic person.?

Well i am alergic to dogs as well and i bought a Coodle. Which is a Cavalier cross poodle and it doesnt shed hair, is very playful and friendly and also is just good company with a good nature. There is also many other dogs that are like this but after research i found this breed to be the best one for me anyways

What is the most kid friendly dog? And which kind of dog hair or fur is best for an allergic person.?

No dog is hypoallergenic, but some come close.

I breed pugs and chinese cresteds.

Pugs are awesome dogs for kids, and thrive in homes with children, but they shed a lot and are not good for allergies.

Chinese Cresteds are super silly and fun dogs that love kids and the whole family. They are as close to hypoallergenic that a dog can be. They come in two varieties, hairless and puffed. The hairless have basically no hair on the main body but do on the head and tail and feet, super cute. The puffs have a full coat of hair. I have severe allergies and even the puffs don't bother me at all. This is the only breed I have tolerated with no side effects.

A second generation golden doodle is the next closest thing to allergy free.

Some of the toy breeds have hair instead of fur and that usually works much better for allergies.

Good luck!!

What is the most kid friendly dog? And which kind of dog hair or fur is best for an allergic person.?

labradors, and retrievers i like

What is the most kid friendly dog? And which kind of dog hair or fur is best for an allergic person.?

A Poodle. Although I have never owned one I know that they are the best dog for allergy sufferers and they don't shed. They are also the most intelligent breed of dog you can get ( that is why they are used in so many circuses as they are so easy to train).

There are a number of different sized Poodles but the standard one is the one that would suit you and your kids.

What is the most kid friendly dog? And which kind of dog hair or fur is best for an allergic person.?

The best option for you allergy wise, would be a poodle. They come in several sizes so you can find just the right size for you. My sister breeds toy poodles, and she also has a son with severe allergies. Her poodles do not bother his allergies and are great with all of her kids (ages 7, 5, and 4.) If you are wanting a dog that is good with your kids I would not suggest going too small though. Some toy poodles are too small for rough kids, and get nervous around too much noise. Please do not follow what the other people have said on here and get a "designer breed" such as a puggle, schnoodle, etc. These dogs are labeled as hypoallergenic alot of the time, but they are not! If you are going to get a mixed breed dog find one at your local shelter. The people breeding these mixes are irresponsible, bad breeders. Anyone breeding these mixes are only contributing to other mixed dogs being killed every day, and are contributing to major health defects. They are in it for the money, not the love of their breed. Sorry for the rant, but irresponsible ignorant so called "breeders" really aggrevate me. If you want more info on what type of dog would fit your family, contact a vet in your area. They will be able to help you pick something that will fit your family perfect. I would say your best bet though would be a poodle in the size of your choice.

What is the most kid friendly dog? And which kind of dog hair or fur is best for an allergic person.?

Labs and Golden Retrievers r great with kids. Poodles do not shed, but can be rather high strung, more suitable for adults. As a thumb of rule, big dogs r protective of kids, while small breeds r usually a one person dog who can be snippy with children.

What is the most kid friendly dog? And which kind of dog hair or fur is best for an allergic person.?

Go to YAHOO! and type in "dog breed selector" Several questionnaires will come up. They will ask you about your lifestyle and preferences. This should give you a good idea about the breed good for you. Once you get it narrowed down, go to akc.com and look at the breed standard. then you may want to volunteer at a shelter or rescue so you can meet the dogs in person and see if you connect. Another resource might be to go to a dog show. Whatever you do, don't go to a pet shop or a backyard breeder

What is the most kid friendly dog? And which kind of dog hair or fur is best for an allergic person.?

Most kid friendly that are also low allergy: Poodles, Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier, Portugese Water Dog. NO dog is hypo-allergenic, but these come closest: http://www.akc.org/news/index.cfm?articl...

Don't believe anyone about the 'poo' mixes: it is genetically impossible to guarantee they will not be more allergy-inducing %26amp; shedding like the other part they are: Labrador, etc. - they are marketed with these lies by scam artists to gullible people - any vet would tell them the truth, if they had only asked.

Well, I don't know how many breeds out there are suitable for allergy sufferers but if you are looking for a dog that is both kid friendly and good for someone with allergies then I would suggest a standard poodle. Besides the grooming needs they require, poodles are extremely intelligent and do not shed. Toy and Minature poodles are great too but if you have small children then the standard would be best. Good luck!

There's a pet sponge available from WalMart and other stores in the Pet Section, that will get rid of ALL those stuck in pet hairs.

I have the same problem. Cover you furniture with something you can throw in the wash. Vacuum frequently- even the furniture. Keep a lint roller handy always- even in the car. Brush your dog frequently and bath once or twice a month. Hair spray. Makes the hair on furniture and stuff slightly tacky, and easier to vacuum and pick up with the lint roller.

Also a good grooming not nessecarily cutting the dogs hair but blow drying the dogs hair through a professional groomer helps minimize hair shedding in your home

Cheapest way is to buy a roll of masking tape. Its way cheaper than the lint rollers sold by pet stores and equally effective.

How do u safely dye dog hair?

How do u safely dye dog hair?

dont do it

How do u safely dye dog hair?

You don't unless you're a professional.

How do u safely dye dog hair?

You don't and that is totally cruel - their hair is not meant to be died - their skin is sensitive and it can burn them - hair dye does not say use this on animals too - really if you are considering that, you should instead consider giving your dog away to someone who won't hurt him - who wouldn't think about it - what is happening to society - that's sick

A dog is a dog - he's not supposed to be dressed up and shoved in bags and died like he is some kind of dress up doll - if you are that immature, why don't you get a doll since you don't, obviously, know how to take care of an actual living, breathing, animal. Poor dog - really.

How do u safely dye dog hair?

It's not safe to dye your dog. It's animal abuse.

How do u safely dye dog hair?

Why do you want to dye a dogs hair. It is not safe. Please don't do it. Think how you would feel if the dog dies due to an allergic reaction because you thought it would be fun.

use peroxide its safe or use the hair dye for men for faicial hair it has to be pretty safe to put on ones face but i would go with the peroxide if you dont need more than one color

No idea why you would want to do that but some groomers will do it for you.

How do u safely dye dog hair?

You might want to check the local laws. This is considered animal cruelty in many states! Commercial hair dyes, such as what humans use is cruel and viscious! This can burn their skin and eyes, blind them and burn the linings of their lungs.

If the state determines dyeing is legal, go to a groomer who offers this. they have access to gentler dyes that will not hurt the dog.

How do u safely dye dog hair?

Yep, I've heard Kool Aid is the best thing you can use to dye your dogs hair with (just be careful not to get any in it's eyes). I've also heard an easy way to do this, so you don't make a mess all over is to take the dog outside and put the Kool Aid mixture in a spray bottle and spray it on the dogs coat (you may want to put rubber gloves on your hands though or they may be dyed whatever color for a couple of days.........hehehe)

Why would you want to? unless your dog is a fugative and you are trying to hide him out- that would be a perfect disguise.

How do u safely dye dog hair?

Kool-Aid works.

For stronger colors, try using the little jars of thick, paste-like food coloring from the grocery store. Dilute it with a little water and let it sit for a while- totally harmless even if they try to eat it.

Never ever use human hair dye, bleach, peroxide, or even the spray-on color or Manic Panic type dyes. If you can't eat it , don't use it on your dog.

If you don't have a lint roller, try this! (It works on dark clothing too!)

Take some packing tape (the clear kind) and lightly wrap some around your hand, sticky side out. (two or three loops is enough) Run your hand over the area with dog hair. Hair sticks to tape, then toss the tape away!

Any good tricks to getting dog hair off of furniture?? thanks!!!?

I use a lint roller and they work great. The kind that is like tape and once the 'sticky' is gone you tear it off at the perforated line and it takes off the used piece?

Any good tricks to getting dog hair off of furniture?? thanks!!!?

I don't recommend tape because it leaves a sticky residue that attracts even more hair.

Try wetting your hand and wiping your furniture. Surprise!!!

Which vacuum works best with dog hair?

We have a kenmore canister vacuum and are wanting an upright. Are Dyson vacuums all they're cracked up to be?

Which vacuum works best with dog hair?

I have a Kenmore Canister and I think it's great! When the guy demonstrated it to me he threw some cat litter on the floor, just what I wanted to use it for. Also pet hair. I used uprights, Dirt Devil, Hoovers, some other brand that I've blocked out and have found my canister to be the best so far. The only one I think that can beat it is an Electrolux. Those are awe$ome.

Which vacuum works best with dog hair?

I would guess that Dyson vacuums would be the best bet for you. They don't lose suction, and don't let the hair back into the air. To help even more, try a dog comb that gets the undercoat of the dog's fur, for there wouldn't be as much to vacuum up, so you wouldn't have to vacuum as much!

Which vacuum works best with dog hair?

Hi first you want to just buy yourself a course sponge.

And slightly dampen it %26amp; then wipe down the sofa, the pillows, rugs, etc.

Keep that sponge around %26amp; then use a good quality vaccum that has a brush, a rolling brush on the roller part that runs over the rugs. You want/need that rolling brush to pull up leftover hair.

HOwever a vaccum isn't going to be useful to you in total, you'll need the sponge to keep your vaccum healthy overall.

I have three newfoundlands, so I get dog hair everywhere. They bast thing that I have found is Arm and Hammer Pet Fresh. Its a foam spray that dries on its own in just a few minutes. Then you vaccuum it up. It has a special Pet Hair Release that takes the static off the hair and it easily comes up when you vaccuum. Plus it leaves a very pleasant smell. I actually spray it every day to keep the "dog" smell out of my house and car.

Sick of brushing up dog hair. How do we feel about the Dyson?

I have an alaskan malamute that sheds 24/7/365. I currently use one of those rubber brushes to get the dog hair out of my carpets. Its a lot of work...time consuming...exhausting. Want to get an amazing vacuum to do the same amount of work, but want to be sure before I spend the money. What do you think?

Sick of brushing up dog hair. How do we feel about the Dyson?

I have a husky, so I know all about the hair problem. I find that combing him instead of brushing works a lot better and I try to comb him a couple of times a week and vacuum a couple of times a week. Get the latest Consumer Reports Buying Guide

at a bookstore, just make sure it covers vacuums. The more amps the vacuum has the better.

Sick of brushing up dog hair. How do we feel about the Dyson?

My friend swears by hers. But they are loud and expensive and now competitors have come up with alternatives.

Stop by your library and ask the librarian to help you look them up on Consumer Reports. That should help with your decision.

Good Luck!!! :)

Sick of brushing up dog hair. How do we feel about the Dyson?

Okay, what you need to do is get a nice carpet rake. They can be found at any janitorial store that specializes in carpet cleaning. You might even be able to get one from a local home improvement store.

Ugh!, you say?

Now don't get me wrong, I love animals, but if you are going to have them then be prepared to do the work.

I am a vacuum cleaner expert. Dyson is just another vacuum. Yes, I'm telling the flat out truth. They CAN and DO clog. Any vacuum will clog, just as any dam will clog. The sad part is this- a Dyson will clog FASTER if there is a restriction in the hose. Why? Simple: there is MORE suction.

Now another thing. What you DON'T want if you are dealing with organics ( which dog hair IS) is prolonged use of a vacuum which tauts itself as being a virtual maintainence-free system. No no no! What you will end up with is disappointment. Now even though the Dyson design utilizes basically little or no filtration that would impede vacuum ( that's right-VACUUM, not 'airflow' [ by my observation they might have mastered some sort of vacuum "trick", but the Hoover Windtunnel concoured the real issue- AIRFLOW).

Okay, so not to lose you, let me first explain briefly that more goes on in a vacuum cleaner that just high suction. SO much more, but for all intents and purposes here, what you really need is a vacuum that is easy to maintain, but is also easy to control odors too. I give you 2 choices. These are the two that have proven themselves time and time again when it comes to pets... well, actually 3 choices.

1-Filterqueen ( older is good, the newer Majestic is A++)

2-Electrolux ( Older is good, but get a LONG BODIED CANISTER regardless. You want to change those bags darn near every use, and what more economical vacuum to do it with. You can get 100 electrolux bags for about 20 bucks! They are the same bag they've made for 50 years...this is why I say a long bodied model...I have no idea what Electrolux is producing as far as uprights and multifiltered canisters, but DON"T get one!!!!!!!! Get ONLY a long bodied model such as a Regency

3-Rainbow D4, or D4se ( same thing, they just put a trigger on the handle for turning the powerwand off and on)

Okay, okay, so by now you might have caught on that this guy (me) only wants to push canisters on to people. NO- I only want to push them onto people with PETS. I have my reasons, but even if you despise canisters, I promise, if you give them just one more try, baring in mind that you are gaining a much more sanitary environment for your family and yourself, you will soon understand how much more practicle they can be.

Rule of thumb:

Always hold the vacuum with the hose going laterally behind you. That is- hold the 'tank' in one hand, or set down to one side of you, and then allow the hose to stretch behind you and go over to your other hand that holds either the vacuum powerhead-wand, or hand-tool. Once you master this, you soon realize that you can cover about 3 times MORE area in the time it takes to push aroud an upright.

Lastly, I am partial to these three vacuums because I am considering the ample times over one uses hand-tools as compared to uprights.

Now, if after all of this you still are not convinced then at the very least, go to your furnace filter section at your local home improvement store and purchase for less that $3, a 10-pack of electrostatic furnace register-vent filters. These filters measure about 11 inches by 4 inches, and there are 10 of them. This media is IDENTICAL in it's properties to attract and keep dust and other small debree from entering the atmosphere, but at a fraction of the price of OEM filters.

FILTERS ARE WASHABLE!!! DON"T BE A FOOL AND RUN OUT AND BUY A NEW FILTER FOR YOUR BAGLESS BECAUSE YOU ARE AFRAID TO GET DIRTY. IF THAT"S THE CASE THEN BUY A BAG MODEL VACUUM CLEANER- WHEN YOU CHANGE THE BAG YOU GET A NEW FILTER BECAUSE THE BAG ISSSS THE FILTER!

How to remove tar from dog hair.?

We are building a house and they sprayed the cement with sealent, (tar) and our dog's tail is now covered.

How to remove tar from dog hair.?

Do not use kerosene, gasoline or anything else to try to remove the tar. Your only option is to shave the dog. I've been a groomer for years, and I'm telling you there is nothing else you can do. Call a groomer and get an appointment for the dog right away. The hair will grow back before you know it. NOTHING will remove it. NOTHING!! I've seen it lots of times over the years. And if you don't do somthing about it soon, your dog is going to get a severe irrititation from the tar. The hair will start matting where the tar is, pinch the skin together and form hemotoma's. Nice vet bill. Get the dog shaved as soon as possible. Good luck.

How to remove tar from dog hair.?

The Dyson 'Animal' is marketed to pet owners and is about $700, but I have the entry-level Dyson and it is the same thing just missing one attachment (and it's a different color). It really works just as well.

Which hoover/vacuum to pick up dog hair (uk)?

I've got a couple of dogs and the hair on the carpet drives me mad. I bought a Dyson Animal, it's purple. It did the job fairly well but did break down after 18 months. Since then I bought the cheapest Dyson I could find and it does the job just as well.

I have a Welsh Springer, invest in a Henry Hoover you won't regret it, honest!

Which hoover/vacuum to pick up dog hair (uk)?

Correct answer goes to Heather (and me, naturally). I have had two different Dysons and they both sucked... but not in the way they were supposed to! The only thing that does suck are all you people that have been sucked in by the hype surrounding them. There is no way that any Dyson has the suction power of a little Henry Hoover from Pneumatic. It's what I have and wouldn't swap it for any other make.

How do I get all this dog hair off my comforter/couch?

First of all, I'll start by saying that I vaccuum EVERY DAY. And it is getting frustrating since my job has been giving me more hours. Plus, after I vaccuum the couch, it seems like I barely cleaned! It's micro suede, I don't know if that helps to know... And as far as the comforter goes, everyone is telling me to just lock my dog out of my room when I go to sleep. But I don't have the heart to do that because she whimpers at the door and I can't bear it.

Anyway, I have seen this baking powder stuff in the store that claims to remove the static cling from pet hair so it vaccuums up easier. Has anyone tried this and does it work? Does anyone know any other tricks for pet hair? Especially with my comforter, I'm getting tired of having it dry cleaned every 2 weeks!!

and ps- before all you sarcastic people start answering, i will not get rid of my dog, i will not keep her outside, and i will prefer to not lock her out of my bedroom when i am in there.

How do I get all this dog hair off my comforter/couch?

DUCT TAPE.

It works!!

How do I get all this dog hair off my comforter/couch?

I have 4 dogs, I know how frustrating this issue can be! You can try the lint roller approach, takes some time and loses its stickiness too fast though I find. Duct tape seems to be the one that works best for me, same idea as the lint roller, but much stickier and more effective.

I also have found that the powder stuff works decent for my carpet, but have never tried on my couch. As far as your comforter, takin it outside and giving it a good shake down is the only thing I can think of! Hope I was of some help! Good luck.

How do I get all this dog hair off my comforter/couch?

Hello,

I use packing tape. Make a loop of tape around your hand then touch it to the couch/comforter. It will pick up loose lint and pet hair.

How do I get all this dog hair off my comforter/couch?

Life it too short for you to be stressing out over fur. Some of it you may just need to learn to live with. You may need to get a better vacuum cleaner, too if it's not doing the job. Not all vacuums are created the same. If your dog will allow it, use the vacuum's attachments and suck the loose fur off her. Brush your dog daily to cut down on shedding throughout the house. There are all sorts of grooming tools which will help cut down the hair as well. Since I have no idea what kind of dog you have, I can't venture a guess as to which one(s) would work best for you. It'll be good for both of you. Brushing a dog is a great stress reliever and a great bonding activity.

On one of my yahoo groups, a lady reported that her kid used a lint roller (adhesive kind) over the dog's fur and picked up a lot of loose hair that way. I've never tried it myself.

As for the comforter problem, place a sheet over it. The hair will be on it and not the comforter. The better solution is buy a comforter you can wash as needed. I know the other one looks nicer, but sometimes compromises need to be made. Put the nice one out only when you're expecting guests.

As for the dog on the comforter while you are sleeping under it, have you considered crate training or getting her a pet bed to put beside yours? Something else to consider. That way she's in her own place and not in yours. You may have to endure a few days of whining, but the end results will make both of you happier.

For the microsuede couch (and your carpets), try the lint rollers and the larger adhesive pads. They work wonders on velvet (just ask me how I know!) Once you get the fur off, cover it with a sheet to protect the surface and remove it only when you're expecting guests.

As for the powder stuff, it sometimes leaves a residue which is harder to get off than the fur. I 'd never use it on my velvet! I doubt you'd want to on the suede.

How do I get all this dog hair off my comforter/couch?

It could be worse. Come to my house, I own three Saint Bernards...Lets talk hair. Do you know they can put it on the ceiling? Mine do. I have found hair in my attic and they have NEVER been up there. My dryer vent screams for help. Everyone in my family carries their own lint roller around. And wearing black is a joke. Have you ever seen those sunbeams coming in your house filled with dust? I could do a slide show with mine. I've learned to live with it. I just tell people I am the proud owner of a hair factory in mass production.

Next segment we can discuss DROOL????? Ewwwwwww

How do I get all this dog hair off my comforter/couch?

Try wetting your hand and run it over your couch. The hair will come right up. I don't use tape because I feel it leaves a sticky residue.

On my bed I have a washable comforter that fits in the washing machine. I deliberately didn't buy a comforter that was overstuffed or had to be dry cleaned.

Try the furmigator for brushing your dog.

You can use tape, a rubber glove, or a sponge.

For tape, wrap some tape around your hand and use it like one of those sticky lint rollers.

Rubber glove, such as one used for cleaning. Wet the glove with water and rub it over the coat. The rubber will attract the hair and pull it off.

Sponge--Slightly wet a sponge-damp not soaking. Rub it over the coat. It should collect the hair.

Buy a shaver to help you with this problem, and if you have knots, get rid of them first because you won't get a proper bath in but do what you have to depending on the dog's dirt. never use scissors!

What exactly is dog dander? Can breed or length of hair effect ones allergies?

I'm told that one is not allergic to dog hair, but to their dander. What exactly is that, and does it vary with the breed. My dog is short haired, and doesn't affect me much, but I've known 3 Golden Retrievers at different times and locations that have really set me off. I'm wondering if the hair was cut short, would that improve things for me, or wouldn't that matter. Thanks.

What exactly is dog dander? Can breed or length of hair effect ones allergies?

Dander is dried saliva and skin that falls of the dogs body, often it is attached to their hair. I hear that non-shedding varieties like Lhasa apsos tend to not be nearly as bad for it but there is still some effect.

What exactly is dog dander? Can breed or length of hair effect ones allergies?

Dog dander is little flakes of dead skin, I belive. All dogs have dander. The coat length has nothing to do with it. Longer haired dogs are usually groomed more, so that helps remove the dander. Don't belive anyone that tells you that certain breeds are "hypoallegenic". They don't know what they are talking about. You may have become immune to your own dog's dander or maybe you have good hygene for him. Talk to you allergist about certain medications you can take to help with the allergies. :)

What exactly is dog dander? Can breed or length of hair effect ones allergies?

You are correct that most poeple are allergic to the dander and not the hair. If your dog is groomed often then the dander is washed off each time. Maybe the Goldens had not been bathed recently. People who say they have hypoallergenic dogs and dogs that do not shed are kidding themselves. All dogs have dander and all dogs shed. Poodles and Schnauzer owners claim this alot, but it is just because they have their dogs groomed enough that the groomer gets all of the dead hair and dander off. Hope this helps!

Do deep cleaning vacuums pick up dog hair?

Hello, I am in the market for a Bissell ProHeat 2X deep cleaning vacuum, but I read somewhere that deep cleaning vacuums only suck up the water/solution and that they do not pick up dog hair. I have a dog and the hair is what really needs to be vacuumed up, but I assumed that a deep cleaning vacuum would pick it up as well as "steam" the carpet. Does anyone know about this?

Do deep cleaning vacuums pick up dog hair?

i have the machine in question. and yes, it does pull any hair to the surface. occasionally clumps of hair would show up on the "clean" floor, and i would just pick it up and throw it away. then go over the area with one more quick pass. the machine is very good. if you use it regularly you will not need the "pros" to come in.

Do deep cleaning vacuums pick up dog hair?

Get a Dyson !!!!. They're more expensive, but totally worth it. I bought a DC17 "Animal" Model about 6 months ago and I absolutely love it!! I have a shedding dog as well, and after I vacuumed with the Dyson I got down on my hands and knees and there wasn't one hair left. It looks like brand new carpeting every time I vacuum.

They go for around $500, but sometimes you can get a 20% coupon in the mail from Bed Bath %26amp; Beyond (If there is one near you) and it will save you around $100.

They are supposed to last forever as long as you take care of it. I will never buy another brand.

Always vacuum up the hair with a good "dry" vacuum ( the kind that has a rotating brush) Look for a rug cleaner that has a brush too. otherwise the hair just makes long stringy mats on your carpet and in the rug shampooer.

How can I clean dog hair off of everything in my home?

Vacuum, vacuum, and vacuum. If you don't have a good vacuum, go buy one. You don't need a $500 dyson (mixed feelings on these vacs), but if you're using a 1990's vacuum, you may consider upgrading. Then, get a good carpet cleaner in there to clean the carpets. Make sure they DRY vacuum before they clean the carpets (all good cleaners should do this, many don't as a cost saving step for themselves). You can visit www.IICRC.com as a reference to find good companies in your area. Also, wipe down all the walls (swiffers work well for this). Sweep and mop all hard surface floors. May want to consider getting someone out to clean out your airducts too. Some carpet cleaners offer this service as well and many of the duct cleaning companies have cameras that they can stick down the vents to verify whether you need them cleaned or not, and also they can do it after to show the results. If the dog was on the furniture, you may want to consider getting any pieces that the dog frequented professionally cleaned as well.

Air filter for cleaning dog hair out of my house air?? is there one read below?

Hi, I am not a neat freak, and I am selling fabrics on ebay now and when I go to iron them there are dog hairs, a few and lint on them. Is there some kind of air filter I can operate/buy to clean/filter the air as it circulates so it kind of removes this hair before it settles on the fabrics ?? and what is it called and where do I get it and how expensive is it and if I knew what it was called I could search Also fixed income here, so best least expensive way thanks so much for all of the help I get on here

Air filter for cleaning dog hair out of my house air?? is there one read below?

That is going to be real difficult to do, being most homes have one air intake, and to direct the hair and lint to that direction is difficult.

The key is to brush your dog/dogs every day to help ease the shedding problem.

We have a filter and it was about $35. We bought it years ago at Home Depot and it is a heavy duty, one that traps small particles like hair. It can be washed with a garden hose, which I do once a week being I have three dogs.

Vacuum frequently and dust. It should help.
