These Pet Hair Removers Will Leave Your Home (and Your Clothes) Hair-Free

Your four-legged friend will always be a part of your family—no matter how much they shed. But that doesn’t mean you have to wear that hair on your otherwise pristine outfit (or sofa, or rug). The best pet hair remover keeps your wardrobe and home looking pristine, without costing a pretty penny.

Sylvalyn Hammond, D.V.M., and Zesty Paws spokesperson, explains that the first step in keeping your pet’s hair off your floor (and the walls!) and reducing shedding is regular brushing and bathing. “Most dogs and cats should be brushed at least twice weekly for 15 to 30 minutes,” she says. “Pets with longer and thicker coats should be brushed daily, especially if they are prone to developing mats. All dogs should be bathed every other week to remove the buildup of debris, pollens, dander, dead skin cells, and dead hair from their coat.”

Beyond regular maintenance, you can choose from a wide range of pet hair removers on the market that fit your specific needs—from hand-held rollers to powerful vacuums.
