How to Reduce Pet Hair Around the Home

Living with a dog or cat usually means living with some loose hair too. You will not eliminate shedding completely, but a consistent grooming and cleaning routine can make it much easier to manage.

Brush regularly

Regular brushing collects loose hair before it reaches floors and furniture. The ideal frequency depends on your pet's coat, so start gently and use a grooming tool suited to the coat type. Browse our dog and cat grooming tools.

Use washable bedding

Pet beds and blankets collect hair quickly. Choosing removable or washable covers makes routine cleaning easier. Shake or vacuum excess hair off before washing and follow the care instructions for the product.

Protect favourite resting spots

If your pet always sleeps in the same area of a sofa or chair, a washable throw can make cleanup faster. Tight-weave fabrics are generally easier to vacuum than heavily textured materials.

Clean little and often

Frequent light cleaning usually works better than waiting for hair to build up. A vacuum attachment designed for upholstery, a reusable lint brush and a small cleaning kit near the entrance can cover most everyday situations.

Keep feeding and sleeping zones tidy

Mats beneath food and water bowls help contain spills, while dedicated beds help concentrate some loose hair in washable areas. Our feeding collection includes practical mats and everyday feeding accessories.

Know when shedding changes

Normal shedding varies by animal and season. If you notice a sudden or unusual change in your pet's coat, bald patches, significant itching or skin irritation, contact a veterinary professional rather than relying on grooming products alone.

The goal is not a perfectly fur-free home. A manageable routine that keeps both your pet and your living space comfortable is more realistic—and easier to maintain.
