Do you trim the fur on your long haired dog?
Comments (17)Sammy and Hoov: Glad you enjoyed the pictures. It is funny getting her summer hairdo every year. She does feel better when its done. She literally bounces off the walls without that heavy fur coat to drag around. What makes me laugh is when we bring her home from the groomers my cats seem to laugh at her! I mean they know its her because of the scent I presume but they run around the house and tap her in the bottom with their paws and act like kittens chasing her. They all get a great aerobic workout the first week or so after her grooming because my two cats find her new appearance so amusing they chase her everywhere. Kitties are fun what can I say. Kate...See MoreVacuum for long pet hair
Comments (10)I bought the new Kenmore Intuition cannister vac and can't believe how well it does everything. I thought my 10 year old Hoover top of the line was pretty good but it wasn't even close. I have a penchant for well-engineered things and the intuition is like the swiss army knife of vacuums. It works great on our pet hair but it isn't overly long. The good thing about Kenmore products and Sears in general is that you can practice with it in the store. Might want to try that and see if you find one that works... b...See MoreBest Vacuum for Pet Hair?
Comments (4)We have a hoover nano and it is the bomb. I picked it up for $60. We have two dogs and two cats (all short haired, but still) and my husband is a stone mason. I was driving myself crazy trying to keep up with that much dirt and pet hair with a broom and dustpan! Our floors are all hardwood with a couple of area rugs. It has a setting for hard floors and a setting for carpet, and an easily detachable hose wand tool thingy. It's really an awesome little vacuum....See MorePet Hair & Vacuums . . . Argh!!!!!
Comments (35)So far I like our recently purchased Miele Marin. We had a Kenmore Progressive canister vac. Still have it, but it's now DH's "shop vac" of sorts--he kept using it to vacuum up Sheetrock dust and sawdust while working on house projects anyway. The Kenmore is heavy, the canister as well as the hose and power head. DH is supposed to do the vacuuming, but I ended up doing it more often than not, and I always ended up with an aching back. The Miele is soooo much lighter and easier to maneuver, too. It came with a hardwood floor brush, and you can choose one of three power heads (at different price options). We chose the one that is recommended for low pile carpet. It has a button to turn the roller brush on/off. The other two power heads would have been more aggressive on the carpeting (and more $). Only two rooms in our house are carpeted, with Berber carpeting, so we chose based on that. We considered a model with a suction-only, multi-surface head, but it seemed to require much more "elbow grease" on the part of the user (me!) in order to move it across the carpet (in-store try-out, and another brand's loaner vacuum on our carpet at home). Also, multiple passes over the carpet still left behind what needed vacuuming up, including grains of cat litter tracked into the room....See Moredlynch
