How to vacuum pet hair – the exact technique and tools I use as a Vacuum Expert to keep my home furr-free

Dog on red rug in living room.

As the proud pawrent of a four-year-old cocker spaniel (a very fluffy cocker spaniel, I might add), I know more than most just how irritating pet hair can be. I regularly find it on my clothes, every home surface, and even my food! And while I regularly vacuum my house, I’ve realised that there’s a big difference between regular vacuuming and vacuuming pet hair.

Of course, the best vacuum cleaners for pet hair are a must for anyone who has a dog, cat, rabbit, or other furry friend in their family. But knowing how to keep a house clean with pets goes way beyond a quick whip-around with a vacuum. That’s because pets bring so much more than fluff to the table, and these pet hairs carry dust, dander, fleas, and other nasties that need to be sucked up and removed from your house.
