My dog loves to be vacuumed, he'll stand in front of my vacuum head and wait to be groomed...
It seems to work very well when I combine it with the rake after. I get about 50% more hair out that way.
I'm thinking that the vacuum doesn't actually pull out all that undercoat, but rather loosens it, which is why the follow up with the rake works so good.
I'm wondering if anyone has used the pet vacuum attachments that they sell online, and if they're worth purchasing.

hi Lori,
Those attachments can be an early death for a vaccume unless you have a vac who can handle hair well. We use a rainbow for my allergies and it can handle hair. I cannot count how many vacs we replaced until we stumbled on this thing. I think a better item to have in the battle of the shed is a force dryer. It also does an admirable job of getting rid of dander.
You would not believe the shed cloud you can get out of a dog and how nice they are for post bath drying. I just suggest using them in an area where you can deal with the hair cloud. Our usual dry spot is at the end of my garage.
I sure wouldn't know about those vacuume attachments, as my GSD just wants to kill those damn machines

Our big recent accomplishment was getting ours to stay in a down-stay while vacuuming. He wants to attack the vacuum so badly that he lays there positively twitching.
I actually have a really nice central vac system. I do have a force dryer but because he really likes the vacuum it would be easy to just add the attachment and give him a quick once-over.
Anything to decrease the hair balls all over the house......
So if anyone out there has actually used one of the doggie vac attachments I'd love to hear if they work well. I hate to waste money but it would be something I'd be interested in.

I use the hose on my dyson to vacuum the dogs. Works fine, and they seem to like it. It's not an end-all grooming tool--but it helps to get the last stray hairs, or to loosen things up before a good brush-out.
