Do you have a dog/cat or any other animal that sheds all over your house? I find myself constantly vacuuming and sweeping the floor and using a lint remover on LO.
Anyone else have this problem?
-
even though we had two cats, they stayed out of charlie's room so it wasn't a big issue. pet hair was more on us!
but i cannot live without buying lint rollers in bulk!
-
We have a pet rabbit. He has a double layer of fur, and I swear he sheds more hair than a large dog. We are constantly vacuuming, and there is still rabbit hair everywhere! I couldn't live without my dust buster and my vacuum. (We got the highest rated vacuum from consumer reports for dealing w/ pet hair.)

We have a long-haired dog, Persian cat, and a shorthaired cat. We bought a Roomba and run it during the week and do a legit vacuum on the weekends. It just about takes care of the fur tumbleweeds, now I just need a better way to get white hair off of my black wool coats.

I vacuum and sweep a lot because we have two dogs and a cat. When we have a LO I'm not going to let the animals in his or her room so hopefully it'll stay a little cleaner in there.

Pet hair would drive me crazy! I left my dog at home with my sister when I moved to GA. We visited with LO when she was 4 months old and I felt REALLY bad because I didn't hold my dog at all. I didn't want his hair getting on me and then getting on the baby. :T

Our dog sheds a lot. I'm always finding Teddy hair in her mouth. So gross! But our cleaning lady is always telling me what a pleasure it is to clean my house because it's so clean. She comes every other week and it's not cleaned between then. I don't believe her considering we have lo and our dog.

I have to vacuum every other day or our house is a dog hair filled disaster! Does anyone have any tips to reduce shedding? I've read mixing their food with a high quality fish oil helps...
-
Oh my god, YES WE HAVE THIS PROBLEM. We have pergo floors downstairs so we sweep down there and then run the Dyson upstairs, but we have basically resigned ourselves to living a dog-hair-filled life. We keep lint rollers in every room of the house and in our cars, but we're fighting a losing battle.
-
Yup - pet hair all over everything (one dog, one cat). Upholstery, clothing, cars, etc. I have lint rollers all over the place but I mostly just live with it.

I love my cats. But I can't stand their shedding! I feel like
minutes after I am done cleaning the house it's covered in fur again. I already told my husband that our next house will be carpet free haha. -
We have a long haired dog and 2 cats that shed like crazy. I vacuum twice a week and have learned to live with it. I love them so much that I don't mind. I just don't wear anything black.
@bienlivingdesign: I put fish oil in my pets' food. I definitely notice a difference in the amount of shedding.
-
@artbee: One of our dogs is named Teddy too, and his hair is everywhere-
We have 2 pomeranians, we know when its time to have them groomed when we start having hair balls all of the carpet. As long as their hair is short, we don't have big issues.
-
@arielle9510: We had hardwoods in our townhouse before we bought our house- the hair was SO MUCH worse. I swear all I saw were dog hair tumbleweeds all the time.
-
@babynumber1: Our dog came with his name, he's a rescue. Did you name your Teddy? Pomeranians are so cute! My Teddy is a big dog, he's a mix of German Shephard, Golden, and more.

We have 2 dogs and a cat. Luckily the cat barely sheds and one of our dogs is long haired and doesn't shed but the other dog....ugh! She sheds enough for 4 animals! Shes short haired and has allergies so she scratches A LOT! If I had time I would vacuum everyday but we're usually only able to vacuum every few days. I'm definitely going to try the fish oil!
-
@marley: Glad to hear from someone where it made a difference! We are definitely going to start doing this. She sheds CONSTANTLY.
-
We have a yorkie that doesn't shed (and we usually keep his hair pretty short). But our beagle terrier sheds like NO other. Her fur is everywhere!!!... We have to vaccum ALL.THE.TIME.
-
I cant escape it in my house no matter how much I clean I swear. We have four of our own dogs, then we foster 2-3 additional dogs at a time. We have 4 of our own cats and foster cats every now and again too.
-
Yes, pet hair rules our house. Our best weapons are the Furminator brush and the Dyson animal, with the spinning hose attachment.
Also lint rollers in the car!

We have a long haired german shepherd and a cat. The dog sheds all the time, but she goes through 2 phases a year where she grows in a new coat and literally sheds like MAD. I mean, I'll brush her every single day and I can still pull like clumps of fur from her. It lasts for about 2 weeks or so, and it sucks. Other than that, I vacuum probably 3-4 times a week, and we use lint rollers.
