To ask dog owners to help me get through this

[Superchop]

I am desperate!!

I have a Staffordshire bull terrier who I love dearly but his hair gets everywhere, the worst is it appears on plates. I am clean Hoover daily, I live in a studio flat. I just don't know what i can do to prevent it. I feel like such a tramp

[Hebburnisaplaceonearth]

I feel your pain. If my dog weren't petrified I would take the Hoover to her directly

[whereisshe]

How often do you wash him? With short haired dogs a weekly bath helps get the loose hairs off. And then a quick daily brushing (outside obviously)...

[TooOldForGlitter]

Um honestly....if you're generally cleaning regularly and you have a dog, you accept dog hair as an extra condiment

[Rowgtfc72]

Sandwich isnt a sandwich round here without jack Russell fur in it!

[Rainicorn]

No idea. I'm < this > close to immacking my dog.

[Superchop]

He doesn't like baths, so it's a rare event. I'm guessing his hairs will extend to the bathroom :'(

[Ilovemydogandmydoglovesme]

Yeah, all I can recommend is a bloody good brush every day outside. Or learn to love the hair.

[growingolddicustingly]

Yep goes with the territory I am afraid. I have greyhound hair in my fridge - my fridge for goodness sake!

^^this!

I have a golden retriever. You dont know what hair is til you've lived with my hairy brute.

[TooOldForGlitter]

Me too growingold and greys don't shed much do they!

[Boaby]

Haha in our house a rogue dog hair is called a condiment. Get a furminator from amazon it'll remove all the dead hair under his top layer of fur & hopefully you'll see a big difference, we certainly did.

[sugarandspite]

If you can afford it, send him to the groomers once fortnightly. It makes a massive difference to staying on top of the hair as they really get all the losse ones out.

JRT cross here and hair is is everywhere - sometimes I think we have a carpet downstairs, but it is just his hair in clumps on the wooden floor. We often have hair in the oven too. I feel your pain. Also he is hoover phobic so no chance of giving him a quick once over.

[Dontwanttobeyourmonkeywench]

Ha! With 2 Akita's there's never a need to unplug the hoover On the plus side you never notice dust bunnies because they are swallowed whole by the tumble weed sized fur balls!

[Superchop]

Furminator bought.

Any way of getting rid of hairs from a washing machine?!

Glad I'm not the only one covered in dog hairs

Mil got this.

[YoureBeingASillyBilly]

In the machine they tend to gather in the rubber seal (helpfully) so i just scoop them out after each wash.

[Shockers]

I Hoover my dog. She doesn't mind as long as DH covers her ears as I do it.

[Boaby]

I wash an old tea towel on a quick wash after I wash my wee dogs towels etc. I have a dedicated hair catching tea towel and it works a treat.

Good call on the furminator it's been a god send for us, our long haired spaniel/lab cross is Sheddy McCastsalot & it's cut the stray hairs right down.

[stottiecakes]

If you have a dog you will get dog hair, no matter how much you vacum. I have 3 and vacum 3x per day. Just part of owining a dog im afraid

[ToomuchIsBackOnBootcamp]

I have a black lab and cream carpets (the carpets were here before the dog. Well, they were originally cream. Now they are more "muddy ditch brown" shade). I understand. No help but I sympathise.

[Wishiwashelenmirren]

I prefer a Shedding blade for my terrier! he's quite fine skinned and although the fulminator is great at shifting a loose coat he tolerates the blade much more.

[KatieKaye]

Furminators are the business! I've got a very shaggy westie and one pass of the furminator removes more fur than brushing the entire dog.

[Jinty64]

We bought a grey carpet with a black fleck to suit our black Labrador hairs.

[FoolishFay]

We have a Jack Russell / Poodle Cross - £35 for quarterly clipping but not a single hair shed in the meantime! Q
