Guide to Finding The Best Vacuum for Pet Hair

Toby came into my life when I needed a companion badly. He was a playful Cocker Spaniel, who, unfortunately, shed a lot of hair all over my otherwise spotless home. Since I entertained a lot, dog hair was a turn-off.

I set out to find the best vacuum cleaner for pet hair that money could buy. Intent on owning only the best, I found out that the most expensive one was not necessarily the best.

Today, I’m going to share with you the lessons I learned in my battle against pet hair. It’s going to be a quick guide to show you how to buy the best vacuum for pet hair.

Best Pet Hair Vacuum?

The best pet hair vacuum is always going to be the one that’s most suited to your lifestyle, and needs.

There are 2 kinds of classic vacuum cleaners: the upright, and the canister.

Although upright vacuum cleaners are more popular, if you’re mostly going to be cleaning bare floors, then the canister will be a better fit for you.

Upright vacuum cleaners are much easier on the back. So if you need to clean wide areas, then an upright model is what you want to go for.

Do not be swayed by popularity. What works for other people, may not work for you. Consider carefully how you will use, and how often you use a vacuum cleaner, before deciding on one.

Get a Pet-Specific Vacuum

Manufacturers have learned from their consumers’ experience,s and have come up with products geared specifically for pet hair. Of course, you don’t want to just take their word for it.

Here are a few things to watch out for and take into consideration:

Strong suction power in order to deal with embedded hair.

Good vacuums for pet hair should have a strong roller brush.

A powerful airflow so that the nozzle does not get clogged easily.

Study Different Brand Manufacturers

When you’ve narrowed down the kind of vacuum you need, study the manufacturers. There are many brands with a good track record when it comes to quality and service.

Your first concern should be durability. Don’t be taken in by techno-babble. You know what you need, so make sure the cleaner you bring home does what it needs to do, and does it well too.

It’s highly recommended that you read many customer reviews, in order to learn from the experience of those who have bought it before you. Browse through various online sites like Amazon.com and take note of what previous customers are saying. They have plenty of useful information and objective reviews that can help you finalize your decision.

Thinking About Buying Your First Pet?

For those of you that don’t have a pet yet, I want to tell you upfront that owning a pet is not all fun and games.

If you have a very busy life, you’ll probably save yourself a ton of hassle down the road if you choose a low-maintenance pet, preferably one with short or no hair at all. This will drastically cut down on your cleaning time.

Toby was a gift to me, and I love the little guy dearly, but I made a lot of concessions when he came into my life. If the compromise is not part of your vocabulary, then choose carefully the pet that you bring home.

Make Your Decision

Deciding on which vacuum cleaner to buy is not an easy task. But if you want a home that ‘s immaculate and free of pet hair, then it’s vital that you take the time to study the all best pet hair vacuums available in the market.

To narrow things down a bit, we’ve listed below for you all the best vacuums for pet hair currently available. Quickly read through each of the reviews, and find the one that matches your preference:

Amazing Inventions For Your Pets

People love their pets, and we can all agree that our pets deserve to be pampered. Here are 10 of the best inventions for your pet ever!!

https://kindapets.tumblr.com/post/184682746236/automatic-pet-feeder-best-smart-feeder

iFetch Here’s the thing. Dogs love to run and fetch…but humans get a little tired...The solution? A robot that plays fetch with your dog! iFetch was launched in 2013. Can you guess where? Kickstarter! The monetary goal to launch this ball-throwing contraption was $20,000! So many people liked this idea that backers pledged over $88,000! It was invented with the idea of a never-ending game of fetch available for your dog. It can be battery powered or plug into the wall. Dogs can even use it themselves. They drop the ball in and iFetch will throw it for them. You can buy specially-made balls for it or use standard tennis balls. It has three settings, so you can adjust it for the size of your room (and dog)! There are also different sizes of iFetch so it will be perfect for any dog. It’s pretty amazing how one kid started all this back in 2010 when he built the first prototype. He never knew at the time what a hit it would be!

Drinking Fountain We all love drinking fountains. They’re cool, they’re convenient, and they are great for hot summer days. There are tons of doggie water fountain options, but by far the coolest ones are the step-on fountains that attach to a hose. This Dog Water Fountain or doggie fountain “ensures that a dog has access to fresh, cool drinking water at all times”. It makes it easy for your pet to water itself at any time. All it has to do is step on the pedal and out comes the water. You don’t have to train your dog to do it, as after you show it once, it’s pretty much instinct from there. Since it attaches to a hose, you can guarantee the water is cool and fresh. Just remember that there’s a good chance your dog will get addicted to using it and will most likely enjoy playing with the drinking fountain and pedal.

Seatbelt If you travel much with your dog, chances are you’ve worried about their safety. Well, there are many options as far as car safety goes for your pets, but one of the best is your classic seatbelt. It works like a leash with a harness and protects your dog just like your seatbelt protects you. The seatbelts attach to almost any seatbelt latch and will keep your dog safe and secure. You can adjust it so that they can sit, stand, or lie down. Plus, it is tight enough so they won’t get tangled up in it. The Center for Pet Safety released the results of its 2013 Harness Crashworthiness Study a little while ago and it reinforced the idea that pets should wear seatbelts. However, most seatbelts made for pets just weren’t suitable. Some even were loose enough that dogs were launched out of vehicles during tests! The “dummy dog” that is. Vets still recommend that dogs use a safety harness when in cars. But they also recommend asking them which brand is the best for your particular dog.

Treat Dispenser Treat dispensers are also plentiful, but recently, we’ve had some new, improved versions released that really bring them to the 21st century. Some use remotes, some are voice activated, and some even use mobile apps. Most can be mounted on the wall and run on batteries. A lot of them work with a variety of treats too! Treat dispensers are usually used by busy dog owners who want to reward their pet on a regular basis with treats when they are away. But sometimes it’s used to train the dog to obey even when the owners aren’t there. Or maybe you’re just sitting on the couch or at the dinner table and it's treat time. With the click of a button or the sound of your voice, you can give your dog their treat. Little kids can use the treat dispenser too to gain control over the dog. Bigger dogs tend to knock the treats out of kids hands, but with a treat dispenser they have to treat the kids with respect and restraint if they want to get their treat. The kid gets to feed the dog and the dog gets to have the treat. No one gets hurt or mistreated! So it’s a win-win for everyone!

Backpack Carrier This may not work for large dogs, but sometimes, it’s easier to take small dogs with you when you can carry them. That’s where the backpack carrier comes in handy. Most of the time, these carriers are designed so that the dogs are carried on the front where it’s easier to watch over them. But, they can also be carried on the back when biking or you’re busy up front. It is safe, secure, yet isn’t uncomfortable for your pet. The backpack carrier is ideal for biking, traveling, shopping, hiking, and going on walks. They even come with little pouches for treats and accessories! Plus, the pack is really comfortable for the human to wear as it doesn’t put too much weight on your shoulders. You don’t have to use it all the time since obviously exercise is good for your pets. But often, we forget that we’re a lot bigger than they are and their short legs will get tired a lot faster than ours. So the backpack carrier brings balance to outdoor activities allowing you and your little doggie to meet in the middle.

Raincoat Not everyone realizes that not all dogs like to, or should, get rained on. If you’re wearing a raincoat, then maybe your dog should too. The waterproof doggie raincoats come in all different sizes, from extra small to extra, extra large. As well as all sorts of colors, from pink to classic yellow to plaid. They are made to keep your pet dry and comfortable in the rain. Most of them even come with an adjustable hood to cover the face, the head, or just lay back for the more adventurous dogs. We all know that cats don’t like rain and shouldn’t be taken out in it, but since dogs usually don’t’ mind it, protecting them is put by the wayside. That’s why whoever invented doggie raincoats knew what they were doing. Plus, how adorable does a dog look in a raincoat! If they don’t enjoy it, then you can just get a doggie umbrella. It’s a leash attached to the top of an umbrella. This way, they aren’t annoyed by wearing anything, but are still protected from the rain.

Cat Trees and Dog Houses This may be pretty basic, but just wait till you see these “playhouses” for pets! Every cat needs a cat tree! The classic cat tree is a few stories and usually has two to three enclosed areas. Along with that, there are multiple docks for them to nap or play on. There are ramps and scratching posts to help them sharpen or dull their claws and save your furniture. That’s for the average cat. Luxury cats get luxury trees. Here are trees that would please any human! With hammocks, unique designs, realistic foliage and cat bowls! Why not a built in litter box? However, dogs should have some fun too. Luxury dog houses are one of the very best inventions on the world. Not everyone can afford such luxuries though. So a simple wooden condo for daytime activities should suffice. Just make sure they pay rent. No one’s living free in my house! 

PetSafe Bolt By far one of the best cat toys of the decade is the PetSafe Bolt Interactive Laser Toy. Cats and dogs love lasers. So developers decided to cater to that passion with the PetSafe Bolt. For less than $20 you can make your pet’s day with an automatic toy they will never stop playing with. They toy generates laser patterns that will keep them busy for hours. If you want to get involved, it also works as a manual toy to save battery life. The Bolt is sure to immediately attract most cats, and many dogs. But if not, then they’ll probably just get tired. So, the optimum time to play with it varies. The Bolt is especially good for intelligent cats, though those with a harder time grasping things will struggle with the concept. So, it is recommended for smarter cats that need something interactive to keep them interested. Though…if they don’t like The Bolt…chances are your kid will, so you can be sure it won’t be wasted.

GPS Tracker The pet GPS tracker is probably the biggest answer to pet owner’s prayers. Everyone’s worst nightmare is losing your pet which can happen at the drop of a hat. Thankfully, a few companies have created trackers that will make that impossible. One great tracker is the Whistle 3 that uses cell and GPS technology to track your dog for up to 3000 miles away! It’s super easy to set up too, as it uses an app you can download on your smartphone that connects to your dog’s tracker. You can even set places like “home” or “the vet” or “the park”. Set boundaries for where they can go and you’ll get a text when they leave the area. Lose them and the GPS will show you their exact location. On top of that, you can check how much sleep and exercise they got that day, plus how much you need to feed them based on their weight and breed. Yes, this invention does have it all and sure does make life as a dog owner a whole lot easier. 

Pet Chatz Ever wanted to facetime your pet? Well, that’s exactly what Pet Chatz lets you do. It isn’t easy to be away from your pet. You’re always missing them or worrying what they might be getting into while you’re gone. That’s why Pet Chatz was invented. The camera has a low-light so as not to affect your pet’s eyes negatively while retaining HD quality. It has a motion detector so you will know when your pet wants to talk, or you can turn it on yourself to check in with them. Like a security camera, it detects unusual things, such as noises and movements and alerts you. It can always pick up “dog sounds” so when your dog is trying to get your attention or is nearby it will let you know. The sound is designed so that your pet can hear everything you say in an understandable tone for them. It even has a built-in treat dispenser for you to control and a built-in scent releaser so they will feel like you are there with them. Bonus! It streams DOGTV! So maybe this one IS the perfect pet invention.

This is Oakley's old slow feed bowl, which works pretty good! But not that great! Then, this! Is the new slow feed bowl that I'm using. This one is Memphis'es. It's called "Flower Bowl" We do sell these in our web site. There will be a link in the video description or, you can just go to https://kindapets.tumblr.com click on "Store" and you will find em. I'm gonna show you guys the differences between what Memphis and Oakley do with this bowl, versus what they will do with this type of bowl. There is a big difference! Music plays Empty! Music plays Empty! In all that time it took them to eat by the slow feed bowls, this one still hasn't done eaten. Talking to Shelby You just taken the time, don't ya? She just take her time!

As you can see, both Memphis and Oakley ate very fast when using just the regular bowl. The slow feed bowl that we used, definitely slow then down. Now it not only, slow them down, but I think also makes it more like a game for them They seem to be a lot happier! Whenever I would feed Oakley, specially out of these just regular bowls she would had a tendency to get sick to her stomach or not feel very good afterwards, because she's eating so fast. The slow feed bowls also helps the dogs to gulp their food really fast or really, really aggressive eater's dogs that think another dog is gonna steal their food.

Unlike Shelby who is just happy, as can be all the time, huh? Talking to Shelby You don't think they are gonna take our food. You work your food down. So that's why we're gone to these bowls and you guys had been asking and asking and I thought it was finally time to do a video on this, telling you about the bowls we use. So those are the slow feed bowls we use. They are made from... Human food grade materials, so they are safe for your pets. There is no PVC on them and I have some people freaking out, because they are plastic. They are actually made from human grade food materials So, yes there is some plastic in them, but would be safe for us to eat of too. This bowl is actually made of different plastic than this. This is like.

I don't know, almost like softer material. I'm really happy with them. That's what we use. Like I said... talking to Memphis What are... You can't lick my pants, you weirdo! Laughter Like I said, it helps slow our girls down. Since I'm started using these bowls, Oakley no longer pukes, right after she eats. She was for a while there going, even with this bowl. She would every couple of days, she would get sick after she eats. I just thought I would let you guys know.

That's what we're using and we believe them so much that we started selling them on the online store. Dogs growling So I hope that helps some of you guys who had message us questions about your dogs being fast eaters I know your pain, because I had two of them! I have the slowest eater in the universe! Talking to Shelby Yes you are! Slowest eater in the universe! Thanks for watching! Thanks for subscribing! Stay positive and dream big! We will see you soon!

Goodbye! Talking to Shelby Wanna say bye Shelby? Say bye Shelby! Music Turn around and roll over, Snow Dog! Sing a song with your sweet voice I know, You've been a good little girl Good Girl! Good Girl! Come and join us for a new adventure! Lots of fun, lots of walks, won't you come into our Siberian world! We're Gone To The Snow Dogs

How to groom a long haired dog?

This is Izzy a six month old Shih Zhu . She's a typical example of a long haired breed. She's about to have a makeover in the hands of a real expert. Jitka Krizova is one of Europe's top dog groomers. Sasha is enjoying herself. Originally from Slovakia, she now lives and works in Britain.

Amazing Inventions For Your Pets

She's been showing and grooming dogs for 20 years and has won an impressive array of awards. British Groomer of the Year Award 2006, Eurogroom winner three times in a row and in 2011 she clipped and snipped her way to the World Championships as a member of Groom Team England. Jitka's sharing her champion tips and techniques to help you keep your dog in pristine condition. A long lavish coat like this won't stay that way unless you're prepared to groom your dog properly. Other breeds with coats like Izzy's include the Bearded Collie, Lhasa Apso, Maltese and Yorkshire Terrier.

So the grooming techniques are very similar. If we brush this coat regularly, we can keep it beautiful and long. After bathing and towel drying your dog it's a good idea to use leave in conditioner to make removing any tangles easier If you want to keep your dog in tip top condition Jitka recommends visiting a professional groomer every four to six weeks. In between times you should bath your dog once a week and brush and comb her every day if you can . If this coat is not brushed on a regular basis it can get tangled very easily. A matted coat is uncomfortable for a dog. It can cause skin irritation and skin inflammation. Regular grooming is vital for dogs with long coats. If the fur gets matted it may have to be shaved off and it can take up to a year for it to grow back.

To finish off the drying process Jitka is using a professional dryer for dogs but any home hair dryer will do. Just remember to keep it on a low heat and don't hold it too close to the dog's body. I'm using a soft slicker brush. The technique I'm using is called line brushing. With this technique you make sure the coat gets brushed right down to the skin. Line brushing is a precise process that involves pulling the dog's hair apart and brushing the undercoat.

Jitka divides Izzy's coat into sections and brushes small areas at a time, working in the direction of the hair. When you brush the face you have to be extra careful of her eyes and nose. Protect the eye with your finger and brush around. Then comb. When Jitka has finished brushing and drying she combs the coat through to ensure there are no more tangles. Izzy's owner has chosen to keep her dog's coat in a traditional long haired style. Other owners may find it more manageable to have the coat trimmed short. Long-haired breeds have hairy feet.

We can see the hair between the pads. Long hair can collect dirt and debris. This is why we remove with small scissors. This is something you can do at home. Grooming should be enjoyable for both you and your dog. Start early when your dog is a puppy. Buy a soft brush and comb and get her used to short grooming sessions. Izzy's now finished.

This whole procedure took about an hour and should be done at least once a week. If you get a long-haired breed, you have to be prepared to put a lot of effort into bathing and brushing your dog. As well as regular brushing it's important to trim your dog's nails every four to six.
