Having a dog at home is wonderful. You know that better than anyone. Your faithful four-legged friend who is always happy to wag his tail when you come home. Who snuggles up on the couch with you when you’re alone on the couch. In short: a dog gives you a lot of love and nice things. However, not everything is always rosy and bright. Of course love for your dog conquers all, but there are just things that are less fun.
One of those things? Always those hairs on the floor. On the rug, on the mat, in the basket, and just on the floor. In short: almost everywhere. A good vacuum cleaner for dog hair is therefore essential when you have a four-legged friend at home. In this article we explain what you should pay attention to when you want to buy a vacuum cleaner for dog hair .
Choose a vacuum cleaner with a turbo brush
Are you buying a new vacuum cleaner? Then take a good look at which suction nozzles are supplied with it. These are attachments that you click on your bar and are suitable for certain types of surfaces. The turbo brush is especially suitable for vacuuming animal hair. Why? Well, it’s like this: this turbo brush contains a brush with bristles that spins quickly when you turn on the vacuum cleaner. This brush ensures that the dog hairs are sucked into the vacuum cleaner faster and easier. Not only on hard floors, but also on soft surfaces such as carpet, rug and floor covering.
Check if the suction power is good
One of the main reasons why it may now be difficult for you to vacuum up your dog’s hair with your current vacuum cleaner is because it is outdated and has a lower suction power. For large tufts of dog hair and hair in the carpet or on the couch, it is difficult to vacuum if you have an older vacuum cleaner whose suction power is no longer optimal. With a new vacuum cleaner, check carefully what is said about the suction power and the different suction settings that the vacuum cleaner has.
Go for a vacuum cleaner with LED lighting on the front
This is a very handy one that many pet owners are not yet familiar with: LED lighting on the front of the vacuum cleaner. You see this a lot with the newer stick vacuums. Because there is a small light on the front of the squeegee that shines over the floor, you can see your dog’s hair much better on the floor. This makes it easier to vacuum up the dog hair in the right place. This is not only nice in dark places such as under the couch, the bed and the cupboard, but also when it is already starting to get dark and you still want to vacuum.
Now that you know what to look for as a dog owner when buying a new vacuum cleaner, it just becomes a little easier to make a choice. We wish you a lot of fun living with your dog. And of course good luck with your choice if you ever buy a new vacuum cleaner!
