    Dog hair solution?

    I know someone must have dealt with this issue before.

    Problem: House is mostly tile and hardwood floors. Dog sheds enough to make it look like wall-to-wall carpet. Shaving him isn't an option, thinning undercoat temporary at best.

    Possible solution: I notice that the breeze coming in from open doors is enough to cause the hair to gather in piles, and it isn't a big wind, so I know the hair travels easily.

    I was thinking of getting some kind of air filtration unit that I can put on either side of the den and living room (where biggest problem noticed). I figure the sucking of it will at least put all the hair in one or two locations, making clean up easier.

    Question: Have any of you tried something like this? What did you use and was it successful?

    TIA.

        He remembers you quite well. I can just say "juicy" and he starts humping air.

              Juicy's ass is so loose, it is like humping air.

                my place is also all hardwood and tile, i just vaccum every few days or use a swiffer

                you could get the irobot - they're awesome, just not sure how it would handle dog hair

                    I once had a robotic vacuum cleaner, just put it on the floor and pressed a button, then it would move around in strange directions for about 20-30 minutes and it would be done, it did it better than me, that doesnt say much though
                    Was 6-7 years ago, there is newer brands on the market now, that can also drive back to recharge automatically and shit like that, I got it because of dog hair (and my GF at that time thought I should help around the house)
                    I buy plugs

                      I had a cheap version . . . only problem is my den is two steps down from the living room so I would have to put up a blockade to keep it from falling over the edge.

                        We bought a crazy hair brush from a infomercial a while back. Soon as his shedding starts i take him outside everyday and brush the shit out of him. Seems to be helping ill find out the name of the brush later tonight when i get home

                          I am pretty sure the iRobot senses edges, not 100% sure though, but I seem to remember seeing it do so.

                          Edit: yes it does, I just found it. The Roomba it's called.

                            I seem to recall seeing a similar commercial. They end up with enough hair to build a horse or something?

                              Maybe the same one. I tried with a regular brush it doesn't take half the hair as this one

                                  That is the one I had, and yep it does, my current model speaks spanish and does all cleaning, if she breaks I would definately get a roomba again

                                          we have a long hallway where our dogs hair seems to end up. Gotta pick it up every few days.

                                              Brush him two times a day until the shedding is done.

                                                Seems to cause a lot less problems, primary because I can just about 2-3 words in spanish, hmmm possible it would be worth looking into replacing the wife with a spanish version too

                                                  I have been having the same problem with my cat and my big old shag rug (both of which I love). I'm sick of using a lint roller all the time! So yes, brushing your dog and stuff will be good, but I think getting a Roomba could also help do the trick. It's those little vacuum robots that work on their own. One of the versions is a sweeper, which would be good for your tile and wood floors. It'd probably be a lot less of an investment than a filtration system, at least for now.

                                                    Though I had to give my Roomba to my stepmother - 4 pugs (2 with double coats that shed even worse) were just choking poor Monica and she couldn't keep up She's doing quite well with one dachshund.

                                                      That is why I have two maids. Too much work for one and cheaper than a wife.

                                                            yeah been using it on my retriever since the begging of the year and there is so much less hair in the house, it definetely works and she seems to enjoy the brushing.

It would snag it up off the floor but it wouldn't actually suck it in, and the hair would end up transplanted to a different area of the house. I promptly returned it, as the dog hair was the reason I bought it in the first place.

                                                                            You need a rake. Trust me on the furminator thing. ;)
