dog grooming vacuum

Some dogs won’t sit still during grooming, so a vacuum with a special dog grooming attachment can be a blessing. Vacuuming is a safe way to remove loose, dead hairs before they hit the floor and your furniture. A dog grooming vacuum is a must-have tool in your dog-grooming kit especially if you have large and hairy dogs.  They are a must-have if you have shedding season when there is pet hair everywhere.

Pet grooming vacuums are available readily in pet stores, online retailers, and you can also get them through mail-order catalogs. Select a device that is quiet and hums gently; you do not want to scare your pet. A hand-held unit at runs on batteries will help remove pet’s dead, loose hair anywhere in or outside the house.  Dog grooming vacuum or attachments are especially useful if you have several pets.

Why invest in a dog grooming vacuum?

There are many advantages of using a pet grooming vacuum attachment or a dog grooming vacuum system for shedding. Here are some of them:

Portability

Most dog grooming vacuum systems are portable, a feature that allows you to use the system in any room of your house. You can groom your pet out on the terrace, garden, garage, or in the yard. This ensures minimal cleanup that comes with grooming and bathing a pet.

Use the attachment directly on the dog

Pet grooming vacuums come with special dog grooming attachment tools that can be used directly on the pet’s hair. Your pet will enjoy it! And worry not: no harm will come to him. You can set the vacuum pressure on its lowest setting and gently vacuum all over the pet’s body. Since there is no loud sound, your pet won’t get scared. In fact: most pets love the attention you give them while vacuuming and also the sensation of gentle vibration from the vacuuming.  Your pet might even fall asleep!

The vacuum attachment gently removes all the dead, shedding fur directly from your pet; before it hits your carpets, furniture, bedding, and other parts of your house. A pet grooming attachment will help keep your home clean and your pet well-groomed during the shedding season. It is a must-have tool for people with allergies to keep dander and dog hair to a minimum.

Dry your pet after a bath

Many pet grooming vacuums come with powerful blow dryers or nozzles that instantly dry your pet after a bath. The speed on these units is adjustable, so you can use them on large dogs or even on small kittens and puppies. Some devices come with temperature adjustments that are convenient for all-weather grooming. Moreover, many vacuums for pet grooming come with different nozzle-attachments for ‘fluffy styling’, partial drying, and also for heavily-coated areas.

Pet grooming attachments fit all vacuum types

Many companies make vacuum attachments that fit different brands of vacuum cleaners. Simply check the attachment product details before buying to ensure that it will fit your vacuum. The attachments come with brushes or suction nozzles to fit different grooming needs.

Kills parasites

Dog grooming vacuum attachments even help remove ticks, mites, and fleas not just from your pet’s body but also from the environment, your carpet, bedding, upholstered furniture, etc.
