- Get rid of dog hair! Removing dog hair is a constant battle in my house since we adopted Pollux, but I've found a few things that get the dog hair off of your couch, get dog hair off your bed, and get dog hair off of your clothes. Since Pollux is shedding his undercoat like crazy, I've found something that will even help remove the dog hair from him!

![HOW TO MANAGE DOG HAIR IN THE HOUSE | [ 5 Hacks for Cleaning up After Pets ]](/img/n.gif)
Dog hair! Yikes! I'm here for you.....I've got this figured out! Do you have a dog that sheds?
Hi! I'm new to your channel and love your videos! First I want to say thank you so much for adopting Pollux. He is so handsome and sweet! I have a rescue dog that was a foster fail. She and my husband became so bonded after a week she became part of the family. We are her 4th owner. That was 7 years ago lol Chloe sheds a lot and she has short hair. I'm always cleaning up hair but it just comes with the territory of having a pet :) Pollux is shedding his undercoat from the winter. I do use Salmon caplets from the vet to help with the fur and skin, seems to help a little but not completely. Plus I can't use it all the time because Chloe is allergic to certain proteins (on hypoallergenic diet) but okay to use once in awhile. I will get that Chom Chom roller though, seems like it works really well. Oh and I have curly hair (thick and fine curls) just like you but have never found a hairdresser to cut it correctly. Once this lock down stops I will search for one that has experience with curly hair. Anyway I'm so glad I found your channel and look forward to the next video :) PS we are the same age and your 40s video was spot on!
I'm new to your channel too. I got hooked the when you adopted Pollux. Thank you and your family for adopting him!
I’m loving your channel so interesting,honest and funny. Thanks
Just FYI - the clicking is the squeegee flicking back and forth - the squeegee is lifting the the hair, the velvet is holding it and then the squeegee is pushing the lifted and held hair into the compartment ;)
Hi I just found your channel, really enjoyed watching Pollux settle in to his new home. He really found a good one! So, I have a massive long haired white German Shepherd, so I feel your pain, I really do. The shedding is a lot of work!! My tips are, dont wear black, dont have dark furniture, nothing dark!! 😄 black and grey is my favourite shades to wear too but it's a sacrifice I had to make. I take my dogs beds to my local laundromat. My washing machine and dryer was always getting clogged and my clothes always came out hairy. I just hand wash them now, due to the virus now I cant just nip to the laundromat once a week anymore so I use my tub to hand wash my dogs blankets and I just hoover their beds unless they are really dirty for some reason. Just put detergent and fabric conditioner in the bath and scrub scrub scrub, then wring it out and hang it up outside.
Also, I have a little tip for what you can do with all of his hair after you've gave him a good brush, get a little bird bath for your garden and leave the hair near the bird bath and the birds will take the hair for their nests 😊 they love dog hair, nice and cosy material for them. I can create a whole new dog everytime I brush my Shepherd it's insane. Haha! Thank you for doing this video I'm not sure if those products are available in my country (Scotland) but I'll have a look. I just hoover everything and it's a hassle taking the hoover out all the time so that little hair collecting devise for the couch would be great!!
Take care. Thanks again.
He seems so well adjusted now. He so lucky to have you. You are a wonderful soul. I’m a new subscriber
Your hair is amazing Love it. It’s so sweet that Maxie has a friend now ❤️.
Welcome!! So glad you are here! Maxxie and Pollux are BFFs....and it's so sweet!
So happy for Pollux! Thanks for taking him!
Leather couch? I bought one just for the dog hair problem.
God surely had a plan for Pollux. Although he is a lot of work for you, I know that you will be rewarded ten times over for the life and love you have given him.
Some people would have taken that dog to the shelter just because of that
also, so happy you guys have pollux. it seems like he ended up with the perfect family! and he also just seems like a sweetheart overall. so surprised he spent his life in a shelter.

You are angel, thank you for fostering.
GOD works in mysterious ways😊,🐕🐶God spelled backwords.....-dog😍
@@Mma_wth There ARE NO coincidences...
Hi Renee!!
I'm sorry, but , I'm having a hard time ignoring the adorable dogs playing in the background!! 🥰 , thank you for these suggestions!! 😊
I think Pollux is on your bed because he feels at home, and loved..and God bless y'all for that. 🥰
Nice to be 🥰
Hi Renee, I have a German Shepherd, and I hear you! ☺️ What keeps the dog hair out of your washing machine: Put the dirty laundry in the dryer first and let it tumble for a few minutes - a lot of the hair will come off and end up in the lint screen!
Good info
Thank you!!
No offense intended but dirty clothes in the clean dryer? No thank you
I’ve been giving my dog, Toby, fish oil for dogs with a few extra vitamins and seems to be working. He doesn’t shed. I just know pulled on his hair and nothing in my hand. My vet told us to give fish oil for dogs.
What extra vitamins? And which fish oil
Jill Slack I just went on Amazon and typed in fish oil for dogs. I bought the capsules this time and it comes with vitamin A, D3 & E. There’s so many to choose from.
I saw the headline, "I ADOPTED THE DOG NOBODY WANTED" and had to see. To hear he'd spent 491 days, since a baby, thankfully your Humane Society is a no kill place.
I lost my Lab/mix that looked like a full bred Lab May 2, 2018. She had a spleen tumor & low heart rate. I had trained her when she was four to be an assistance dog helping me p/u canes, keys, envelopes. She was only 8. I am considering adoption as my heart finally broke in October with an aortic tear. I am facing double hip surgery.
My heart says yes but my head: ARE YOU CRAZY?!?
Your car needs repairs..
You know by now that God knew you'd be the best stewards of Pollux, another of His creatures that loves unconditionally.
I looked at him with his long snout, I first thought Collie as they have quite a lengthy nose and English Fox Hound cross.
With a splash of Greyhound.
I don't know if Pollux was having diarrhea but one tablet of Pepto can stop vomiting as well. Of course check with your vet.
Hugs to Pollux & Maxxie.
PS. Amazon carries vegan dog treats. I can't recall the brand, but open a blueberry & pumpkin, the fragrance of fresh blueberries wafts up. Gracie Ella Mae loved them!
I guess I forgot about dog hair tips. I had a Border Collie and a Chow/Lab mix whom I brought with me to house/dog sit. A sheet topped "my" bed as I was supposed to allow PJ on the bed. I'd take the sheet, put it in the dryer on air which the majority of hair gone. I'd do that with Gershwin & Girlie's things. One other dog liked me to vacuum him! I finally took Gershwin & Girlie to the groomer & both got a summer shave down. They loved it & I was SO happy as life was hairless as by the certain seasons came in, their coats were just coats!
Pollux seems to have settled right in! Seeing him and Maxie play is great! He's so lucky you rescued him. Seeing them makes me smile!
Pollux looks so at ease and comfortable in your home, it’s his home now too. Beautiful.
I have four dogs, three are shedders. I have in my arsenal: lint rollers, couch cover, one Shark vacuum for wood floor and one Shark vacuum for carpet (Sharks are great BTW), vitamins for skin/coat and clippers. I'm getting the Chom Chom. I like to wash my dogs to get the hair collected in the bathtub where I can just throw away in trash, while I am washing I am gently pulling their hair out, then take them to deck where I blow dry them and that combined w/ brushing gets even more hair. I bathe 2x month using horse argan oil shampoo (they smell sooo good). I vacuum my wood floors everyday and my carpet once a week. I do have a special blanket that covers part of my bed that is their space, they are trained to sleep on their space it works most of the time but still have to roll my bed. We have a WaveForce LG washer/dryer (had them for about 10 yrs.) that seems to handle dog hair well.
thank you
Yes, also wadded up used, nongreasy aluminum foil in your washer and dryer cleans hair off of clothing really well.
I have the shark that does both hardwood and carpeting. It has both settings and works amazing.
@@10cent38 most human blow dryers have a cool/air setting.
Pollux is feeling right at home. You are awesome to give this great dog his permanent home. Bless you.
He is a happy boy 💗
So good to see them playing and so happy! 💝💝💝
They are happy boys! They crack me up every day :). Thanks for watching!
@@WELCOMETOMYCURLS I found them yestetday and am so happy you were able to bring him home and add to your lovely family!!! Best wishes to you!!!
Lady, You are delightful. I was really bored and happened on your video and I am smiling. Thank you for a break from the dismal.
Honestly, I'm here for Pollux. He's so cool.
I have a Siberian Husky, THAT'S SHEDDING! They shed another dog everyday when they blow their coats. Vinyl cleaning gloves work well on fabric furniture and car seats
Oooo yep! You've got some dog hair!! LOL. How long does this "blowing their coat" last???
My brother brushed his husky & Shepard for hours lol a couple of times until they finally stopped
Some shed out their coats twice a year heavily. Spring and fall. They have all kinds of things for it but a good long daily brushing with a rake or brush designed for it will get a lot off until it's over. Afterwards just a regular daily brushing will help a lot with the house hair. Used dryer sheets work great for my short haired dog on the couch, if not a lot of hair there. Wash dog items with ONLY dog items. There are balls that go in the dryer to trap & hold hair. Clean & reuse the next time. I wipe down the washer with a baby wipe after a load of dog bedding. I'm sure you shake or beat their bedding outside before washing. It will clog drains and air vents otherwise.
WELCOME TO MY CURLS , my Shiloh blows his coat twice a year, lasts about a month. We brush him daily when this starts. He’s part northern breed, so has a true under oat that sheds like crazy in the spring.
I am right there with you Karen😱 I have 2 Siberian Husky’s and one is all White! I had all my carpet tore out and put in laminate flooring. I have 2 IVacs in my living room and sweep 5x a day AT least! I do take them to get groomed but the hair just flows! These are great tips! I may never see carpet again as long as I have my dogs.
I’ll check out the Cham Cham!
I have two rough ("Lassie") collies and here is what I've learned about dealing with dog hair. The gloves they sell for washing dishes, the ones that are usually yellow or pink, work great as long as they're damp. If they're not damp, they just don't work. I buy dog hair colored clothes as much as possible, and have a couch that's a similar color to their shed hair so it doesn't show as much in between cleanings. I buy tape rollers by the pack. A good quality vacuum is a big plus, but flooring is much better than carpeting. I also have a spinning wheel to turn the brushed out hair into yarn. And try not to think of it as hair--it's doggy glitter! Dogs are so worth it, and it's wonderful that Pollux has a home where he is loved.
Wow,sweetheart where did you get the spinning wheel to turn your dog hair into "dog glitter", I'm from Australia and would really be interested to find out more????Thanks .Crystal...
Pollux surely landed on his paws when he was picked by you. So lucky for you all...enjoy each other !
I have three standard poodles so I can’t relate with the whole hair situation, but I just had to come check out one of your latest videos to see how Pollux was doing. I saw your original video about him, six days after y’all adopted him and it just warmed my heart! I’ve always had purebreds, I actually had a miniature schnauzer before I started getting standard poodles, just like you. I’ve never had a chance to adopt a dog but I really wish I could one day. There must be a really special bond between an owner and a shelter pet. I would imagine they would have so much gratitude💜🐶
I was literally thinking the same thing, that I can't really relate because we also have 3 Standard poodles.😅🥰😅 But also have been really enjoying these videos about Polloux and love that he got to finally have his own family and a fabulous home. ❤
I've got two small standard poodles and we all know those come with their own challenges lol those spoiled boys are groomed more in a month than I am my entire life and the matting DEAR LORD the matting. I would love to adopt either a dog or cat one day as well. :)
maxie is LOVING that furminator... it probably feelsl like a massage for him
Maxxie does really like it. And he always wants to be included 💗
get a second washing machine just for pollux's things. tk you for giving him a loving home!
I have four dogs. All shed, and this is the best solution! #SecondWashingMachine just for Doggo loads!
You people are amazing beautiful kind souls. The way you adopted that sweet sweet dog was so touching. You gave him a wonderful home to grow old in. It's so nice to see him playful and part of the family now. It's people like your family that gives me hope there is good in this world. Thank you
I love watching Pollux’s transformation. He seems so at home now, you’re an amazing dog mom and for some reason I feel so proud of Pollux even though I’ve never met him 😩❤️
awwww......I'm so proud of him too!!! He has changed so much and really settled in to our home. He's a wonderful boy!
I just have to see Pollux. What a transformation. It’s amazing what love will do. I restored a mini-schnauzer that had been lost for a year and a half, since about 6 months old, off the streets, and at 2 years old, he was the size of about a 10 week old puppy. Love restored him completely, and he is the most perfect dog in the world.
How that dog must feel after the cold floor in the shelter. Look at him on the bed .. warms your heart.
Pollux absolutely loves his bed!
My wife and I have three pugs and they are notorious shedders. We wash their bedding/blankets every single day. We were experiencing the same issue with the washer. We now put their bedding in the dryer before washing them and find it has helped to decrease the amount of hair in the washing machine.
Thanks for the tip. I hadn't thought of doing that. I only wash Pollux's things about once a week....probably should do it more often but geez the hassle! Thanks again!
Also taking him to a groomer every now and again for a bath and a good deshed will help alot a force dryer will blow out alot of that hair just let them know to go slow with him with him being nervous
I find these brushes work good for Pet Hair

You can try run a washer cycle without anything in it, a rinse cycle (it's part of regular washer maintenance I believe). No clue if it solves the problem but may be worth a try.
Pollox looks like he’s doing amazingly!! So glad you adopted him!
Just came from Polly's adoption video, he seems so much happier I absolutely love it
Most dogs shed heavily twice yearly, lots of house maintenance. Your hair looks very cute pulled back and your house is now full of action and love. Love your program.
had dogs all my life, unfortunately dog hair is just a small compromise for unconditional love and loyalty! more doggo videos please!
I’ve been binge watching this all night cuz I couldn’t sleep and my ❤️is so happy that Pollux and Maxxie are so loved by you!❤️
You're dogs look so healthy and happy, thank you for homing Pollux he is a lovely boy..
I love Pollix the dog. He seems so friendly. He's really come out of his shell.
He’s a great dog!❤️🐶❤️
I love you. All tonight I've watched you and your beautiful family since before you adopted Pollux. You are the best family and you are the best mom for that precious sweetheart who spent 491 heartbreaking days in the shelter (still, I'm grateful he had a shelter. Those people are angels). I'm so happy he gets along with his big brother, who's taught him so much. I love your voice and could listen to you talk about your dogs FOREVER. You got me out of the virus funk I've been in for too long. Didn't think anybody could. THX.
Oh gosh! You are too kind! Glad you are enjoying the videos about a Maxxie and Pollux. They are sweet boys!! Pollux is adjusting wonderfully and now has a big back yard so he can run!! If you are on Instagram...look me up. I have some videos of him running and showing off his “zoomies” ❤️🐶❤️
Omg, seeing Pollux laying on your bed so relaxed is the best!
💗💗💗
My beloved pup Honey passed a couple of years ago, so I am not currently in need of your dog hair removal...but I just had to watch this because Pollux and Max playing together was SO PRECIOUS!!! Argh, so happy!
Renee, aren't you the sweetest southern woman! I watched your video of when you first adopted Pollux. My heart fell for him. My husky is the same. We've had her for a year now, and she's just now coming out of her shell.
Came across your video of life with pollox and watched them all its been lovely watching pollox bloom under you and maxis care
Hi! Thanks for watching! Pollux has changed so much since we adopted him...and he is a sweet wonderful guy. Love him to pieces!
I'm glad you haven't banned Pollux from laying on the furniture! Shedding is just something you have to learn to tolerate. As time goes on you learn which fabrics are dog hair magnets (fleeces and wools) and which are pretty resistant. I ended up getting a leather sofa which is so much easier to clean. I have a German Shepherd so the shedding can get pretty crazy, especially during spring and autumn. But it's a small price to pay for all the joy our fur babies bring! Oh and a little tip on the rubber gloves, they're much more effective when the strokes are in one direction on fabric. Rubbing backwards and forwards doesn't work so well.
BTW, I discovered your channel because of your first video about Pollux. I can see he's come out of his shell and looks so much happier and settled, but would be nice to hear from you how he's changed over the months.
Hi! My theory about the furniture is this: We all live here and should enjoy our home....dogs included. If I have to deal with hair every day...then I'll deal with hair every day :)
@@WELCOMETOMYCURLS I feel exactly the same way! When I bring a dog into my home, it's their home too. There's no banishment from certain rooms or laying on furniture. The only time they're not allowed on the furniture is when they're wet, which unfortunately they can't seem to grab the concept of lol.
@@WELCOMETOMYCURLS You are just wonderful Renee!
He looks so much more relaxed. Have never owned a dog that sheds, very informative.
Hi, from Argentina! I discovered your videos and I really liked how you share this new adventure of giving Pollux a beautiful home and being able to enjoy how he becomes a happy dog with his friend Maxxie and his loving family. Cheers!
I know the shedding is a frustration but I'm impressed at how well you have brought that dog into home life. Considering he is young, has lived in a shelter all his life up to four months ago, and is a mix of energetic breeds (collie, terrier(?), whippet(?)), Pollux is so chilled out and comfortable. He clearly feels loved, accepted, and at home, which is a real tribute to you and your family (and to Maxi). Also, rollering that dog hair off of your bed and sofa is going to keep your arms sculpted, so workout goals lol. Sorry I don't have any cute tips on cleaning dog hair off. I just watch for your dogs and the lovely relationship you have with them.
I've been binge watching POLLUX videos. I cried when I watched his adoption story - your story when you read he had been in the shelter from the start for 400+ days. OMG! I balled! Thank you so much for taking such good care of him. You are the best person ever! Pollux is so lucky to have a mommy like you!
❤️❤️❤️
Some dogs like him maybe need to be brushed until he’s wearing his summer coat
l1 I had a dog hair problem until I started brushing my dog every morning. I also keep throws on my furniture, and wash the throws when needed. I also have a duvet that I take off at night. Short haired dogs also have oil in their skin, that will eventually show up on the couch as a brown spot. Those car seat protectors work too.
We brush our pup about twice a week, should probably do more. We have a furminator, but our dog has sensitive skin and doesn’t really like it. It says to only make one pass over any area.
We have a Border Collie mix and the hair shedding is EPIC! Thanks for the information.
Primarily subscribed because of Pollux and although I enjoy viewing the dogs I am as fascinated with your hair, beautiful fine facial features, your speech and gentle warmth on camera and obvious love for your pets.
Thanks so much 💗
I have a pet hair problem too. And like you, I have tried EVERYTHING!!! What I discovered that helps me to remove it off my furniture- is that I either have a water spray bottle to mist my bare hand or I dampen a cloth and wipe in the hair in one direction- for me , this works perfectly. The gloves you demonstrated may work very well if dampened. Plus I cover my furniture with drop clothes or sheets. I have to. Then pull them off when I am expecting company or to laundry. It’s an on going battle that’s just part of having pets. We consider pet hair a condiment in this house. I do all that I can and the very best that I can - and thus far it hasn’t stopped friends from coming by. They don’t seem to mind.
He wants love from your daughter. How cute.🙂
I watched your videos on Pollux , thank you so much for giving Pollux an amazing life...am a new sub.....
Well done for adopting pollux. .
He's adorable, deserves everything your doing for him. 🌈
Renea,
Keep the channel going, you make great video's....i look forward to watching the next episode....
Thank you so much!
You have done a wonderful job with Pollux. He has really developed a personality and obviously thriving.
Pollux is so grateful to you for giving him a warm home and fly. He loves you'll. It shows🐕💕💕god bless
I'm delighted to see that Pollux has integrated so beautifully into your family. You have the biggest heart.❣️ Thanks for the great tips!
Thank you so much!
He has the markings and the mannerisms of a Jack Russell I had and she shed all the time, heavier in the spring and summer. Mixed with border collie and you are always going to have a hair problem. When I put my clothes in the dryer with a bounce sheet, it did remove most of the hair. What it didn't you'll have to use the tape roller, or wrap tape around your hand. Or depending on the material, you could dampen your hands and rub over your clothes to remove hair also, but then your hands will be hairy. You'll want to clean the washing machine trap frequently and the dryer vent screen at each load.
Pollux is such a sweetie! He needed your family and Maxxie. I am so proud of you for adopting him.
Thank God for you people,! That dog needed a home and you stepped up to the plate for him, with patience, understanding and love. What more could a dog ask for? Very awesome.
I have three dogs. Two are part Chow and Australia Shepard, the other one is a Catahula Leapord. They shed like crazy. I use dryer sheets for the dryer. It helps remove even more dog hair. You're dogs look so happy.
You re now my fav youtuber. More content of the boys would be nice too.
Thanks!!! I do have several videos of them on my channel....and they usually make an appearance in most of my videos. Take a look at my HOUSE TOUR video ua-cam.com/video/HLj7Vmvbiqs/v-deo.html. They follow me around during the entire video....and they get to show you their newly fenced back yard.
Wow, Pollux sheds a lot. I am glad you gave him a forever home.
So lovely to see how he has settled and how much they love each other 💜
You have such a beautiful family and such a beautiful spirit!💗
Thank you so much!!
Had a border collie for 19 years, so I feel your pain! They are so worth it it, though!
The only thing I've figured out on the washing machine and dryer is to use the sticky roller on the bed and towel/blanket before putting it in the washer. I even do this on our clothes. It's maddening but it's that or live with it for us for now. If you figure it out, I'd be interested to know. This is a super great channel and I absolutely love it!!
Thanks so much!!! I’ve noticed a few things on Amazon that you drop inside the washer...but haven’t tried any yet. Maybe I’ll give one a go and let you know if it works. Thanks!!
Love to see your dogs getting along so well.They are so beautiful.
Dogs are exactly like little kids. NOTHING gets past them. Maxxie sees you raking Pollux and says, "wait mom. Ya fur-got about MEEE!!!" They see ALL. They know ALL. hahaha!! That was too cute when Maxxie stood there for HIS turn. LOLOL! You are a GREAT pooch mama, Mz. Renee! 😊
💗💗 thanks for the sweet comment. Maxxie is a handsome gentle little guy. He always wants to be included 🐶
I've had a collie and a welsh sheepdog. These dogs shed all year round. My advice, enjoy your dog, do what you can and let go of the worry about it. x
I am new to your channel and I LOVE that you adopted Pollux. He is so handsome! Maxxie is handsome too! So cute that they are such good friends! Blessings to you all!! ❤️❤️❤️
Honestly for me, the dryer works the best for getting dog hair off fabrics. My german/aussie shepherd mix is SHEDDER. And she's a cuddler who sleeps in the bed with us every night. I know not everyone uses a clothes dryer, but nothing gets the fur out as good.
What’s your method cuz it’s all over my socks and it’s driving me nuts! I’m just dog sitting.
@@amarige25 literally the clothing dryer. And just sweeping and vacuuming every day.
An addendum to my comment below, during Spring take Pollux outside once a day for a 20-min. session and brush him with a brush that has longer & finer bristles, making sure to brush under his chin, belly & tail as well as his top coat. After you do this, take the damp towel and run it all over this coat. Have a pail of water nearby to rinse it and repeat a couple of times. I used to have two cats while living in an apartment and learned to manage cat hair all over couches, bedding, rugs. I've heard of people who have golden labs use the Dyson for pets to vacuum the hair from their dogs, other than these suggestions, everything else you are doing is great. Love you guys for giving Pollux a loving home, your lives will be richer for it.
I started watching your videos when you got pollux I love watching him change as time goes on. Thank you for adopting him. You treat your animals so well
More videos on Pollux, please!!! He’s wonderful! Love seeing him adjust. Love your videos! ❤️💗
Thanks so much! Editing new videos now 🐶❤️🐶
Zoom groom works well to get out loose hair. You are right about the Furminator. It can scratch their skin, even leaving bloody scratches. Best way to brush a dog is to work in lines, start at the bottom of the leg, brush down, them move up a couple inches and brush that section down. Keep working up and towards their head.
Came across your video when Pollux first came home...he has changed so much, such a happy dog now...love how he plays with Maxxie.
Your family is a awesome family to both dogs, and you are an awesome mother to all! I’m glad that Paulsi got so a good home. He deserves it!
You very good friendly young lady love your pets very much they very lucky to have you know you love them they love you back thank you for sharing Bless you all have a good life thank you
Oh BTW! There are eco friendly rollers out there, namely Colint and Hurricane FurWizzard. They have a velvet surface kinda like the chom chom roller. Way better if you have to deal with that amount of pet hair.
And there are ones with a silicone covering, also more economic. You just hold it under runing water and wash the hair off. Shake a bit and it is dry to work again.
Hi! Just discovered your channel, starting with the rescue of Pollux. Wonderful! I have a lot of catching up to do. Just ordered the Furminator and a new collar like you got for your furbabies! I have a large, long hair shedding dog and need all the tools I can get. My dog is 1/4 Collie and 3/4 Great Pyrenees, she's beautiful and sheds a lot.
Oh wow!! Welcome! This shedding stuff is new to me....and it was driving me crazy! Finally feel like I have some tools to make it acceptable (if that's even possible). My dogs are microchipped but I just like having a collar on them "just in case". And these collars are great! I get new collars for my dogs each year....just so they have something new and fresh :). Anyway, welcome to my channel!
Our household has a different shedding problem, a very furry short-haired cat and me. I shed terribly with my very long hair, which ends up everywhere!
We've found the best way to get the carpets cleaner is to use a squeegee on them first, and then use the vacuum.
We got one that can be mounted on a replacement handle for tools like rakes or even brooms. You have to be careful not to apply too much pressure when going over the carpets or it won't be as effective. The squeegee will work in the kitchen too.
Thanks for the ChumChum tip. Our couches are textured and rounded on the backs & arms so the squeegee trick doesn't work so well on them.
We had a hand - held power vacuum attachment for the stairs and upholstery that worked pretty well, but the darn thing broke when it crash landed a few years back.
Cat fur wriggles it's way into every piece of clothing we own, even if the cat has never touched the item. I'm going to try the dryer trick. I have seen that lint/hair trap thing advertised on Facebook & Instagram before, but I haven't seen it in awhile. I'm glad to know there's something on Amazon now.
Good luck with the battle on shedding. Unfortunately it's a war that will never be fully won, but it can be managed. Next Spring get an early start with that Furminator and just regular brushing on Pollux. The birds will love you for it. My husband's friends owned German Shepherds. When they would brush them and let the fur blow to the side of the lawn. It was of the birds were lined up waiting for their turn to snatch some up.
I'm tickled to see both of your dogs so happy and playful. After watching your video and some videos of Huskies, I'm kind of tempted to get a dog, but my 15 y/o cat would hate me for the rest of her life.
Pup fur problems. It has been an ongoing challenge for me as I have spent the past 10 years rescuing and fostering dogs. People don't realize that an estimated 10,000 dogs and puppies are killed in US shelters every day. I am now down from ten dogs to five dogs. They are all seniors like me. I'm grateful also that you are devoted and love Pollux. So many dogs like Pollux are turned into animal facilities because of things like shedding. Or worse they are chained outside. I just read an article (I'm always searching for help) that if you put clothing and dog beds or dog bed covers in the dryer for a few minutes with something like a drying sheet or ball, it will remove most if not all of the hair. Then put each article into the washer. I'm so proud of my Whirlpool as it has lasted the last 15 years and at least 30 dogs and puppies. Also, I'm afraid with furniture, I keep them covered in animal print faux fur king size bed covers as it both mask hair and dirt until I can get to it. I tolerate dirt in my older age a lot better then I did when younger. I do use Bissell vacuum cleaners as they contribute greatly to shelters. Except their dog bath. Would work well on one dog but not 10. I love watching your show. You are relaxing to me. You keep me wonderful company as my husband died from a sudden heart attack almost 3 years ago, my kids are far away and my friends are dying. You are as loving toward your home almost as to your beautiful family and fur babies. Here is another woman that I like to watch because of her devotion and hard work. Her shows are as amazing as you are. ua-cam.com/video/gcShBujgsIQ/v-deo.html Thank you also for going gray. I started in my thirties and my hair is a beautiful silver now. Blessings and blessings!
Great video. I have two long haired cats that shed everywhere. In self-defense, I brush them every morning. For the washing machine, you might take a damp rag and wipe it out before each wash.
Hi! The Chom Chom Roller is available for cat hair too. Not sure what the difference is but I noticed a version for cats when I purchased mine. My washing machine is so deep that I will fall in if I lean in too much!! LOL
Your precious Pollux appears be part Corgi...the smile and shedding certainly fit!
This is Li commenting, not David!) First off Renee, thank you so much for adopting Pollux! God bless your lovely curls ;) Secondly, loved the rubber chicken episode, OMG! Laughing so hard! Thirdly of all, careful with the Furminator. It is actually a set of blades - number 8 blades, I think - and it cuts the undercoat. That's why it gets so much coat out every time. It can actually make the shedding worse, as the undercoat gets broken, more hair comes in to replace it...Furminator should only be used something like twice a year, if at all. Furminator makes another brand of brush, it's all thin bendy little spikes (like a pin rake tool) on a floppy brush bed, that does a better job and won't cut the undercoat. Won't hurt the dog, either. Even my cats love it! :)
Good to know! It does feel like it's cutting the hair so what you're saying makes sense. Thanks!!
I'm thinking of adopting a old shelter dog, mostly because first time dog owner and not wanting to commit to 15y if in not sure. First try with 2-5y and giving him/her a good home for the last years of his/her life.
My bf is allergic to some dog (no specific breed, changes case to case) and preventing dog hair as much as possible will be one of my priorities. This video has very helpful tips, thanks ❤️
Love your show!!! We had a little mini Pollux with the same shedding problem. We took him to the groomer every 8 weeks and she shaved off his hair. He ended up looking like a chihuahua instead of the scruffy little dog we adopted. It worked pretty well. In the winter he stayed long and the shedding wasn’t as bad. Good luck.
Those two are so adorable together 😊
After watching this, I bought a Chom Chom and the Furminator. They are miracle workers. I now have enough fur to make myself another pomeranian :-) We are going to buy the bed you bought for your pups for our rescue lab/vizsla mix. She is crazy scared during storms. Thanks for the reviews!!
Glad I could help! I have to use the Chom Chom roller EVERY DAY...and sometimes several times a day to get the hair off my couch. Pollux likes to watch me do it....them promptly jump on the couch! Geez!
If you give him treats every minute or so while brushing he will soon love it and want you to do it, that way he will allow it for longer. After a while he won’t need the treats because he will associate brushing with something good☺️
Dog hair is a huge problem in our house too. I don’t get dog hair in the washing machine but I have seen a tip to put the dogs blanket in the dryer first to remove some of the hair and loosen it up some too & then wash the blanket. I found that we get the most hair on our socks that we pick up from our old 1940s house that is hardwood floors throughout, so I wash the socks completely in their own load. It’s a great thing you and your family have done to rescue your cute pup!!
I have rollers all over my house they work really well on furniture ,beds and clothes. Amazon has these great throw quilts that I use on my bed and furniture for the dogs and cat. Easy to wash and the dogs and cat feel special when they get refreshed every few days. Plus I can’t tell you how many times my bed has been saved when on occasion they have a sour stomach or hair balls!😳🤭😂 I have a rotating collection of quilts and throws......
I have found that feeding my dogs more protein helps with shedding. The better the quality of food I feed mine, the less they shed. I scramble eggs (I cook 10 at a time so I don't have to do it everyday and just keep them in plastic container in fridge} and give them a big scoop on their dog food every meal. Also, try a zoom groom, it's rubber nubs that feel good to the dog, mine would fall asleep if I would let them lay down, they love it! I brush them in sections, do their necks, then their backs, last their hind end and tail, short quick strokes makes a fast job of it. Different brushes for different coats, zoom groom would work wonders on Pollux. I have also found that the older you get, the less you can see dog hair...ha! Pollux is lucky you found him. Thanks for the videos :)
I have 2 shedders. I love the good old Libman dust mop for my floors! It has changed my (floor) life. :)
Earlier today I saw your video recorded 6 days after you adopted Pollux and continued watching your other videos. What an amazing transformation Pollux had! You are such a kind soul ❤️. I subscribed ❤️
❤️❤️❤️
He’s so much more comfortable. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I am new to this channel too (just found a few days ago-adopting Pollux) & straight away i love to watch your videos. I intend to watch/follow all of them. With lots of love from Borneo Island.
Re: washing machine hair, put the items in the dryer, set to “air dry” for 10 minutes then put into washing machine to wash. You can add white vinegar to rinse cycle also. When you put clothes in dryer add a dryer sheet. Wipe out washer with a paper towel or microfiber cloth before next wash cycle. Don’t wash dark colors right after a dog blanket or bed wash, do sheets or light colors instead. It helps a lot.
Yes, I have a german shepherd. They are champion shedding ❤️❤️
Watching your dogs play always makes me smile. I miss having a dog. Gotta get one soon.
Washing dog bedding, blankets, towels .... I like to wash in Biozet - then always wipe my washing machine door and drum lightly. (Front loader) ... then I do like using the drier as it helps remove additional hair.
Also, microfibre cloth dampened (squeeze our really well) is also an easy assist. The boys seem like such life long buddies which is magic and a blessing.(Australia)
God bless you and your family for adopting a puppy..
