Best Vacuums for Dog Owners that Eliminate Tenacious Pet Hair

If you're similar to us, you love your pets as much as (if not more than) you love your friends and family. No amount of shedding and no pet fur covering that sofa you purchased for a thousand dollars is going to change that.

But wouldn't it be so good to see all of those faded, dried out strands of dog or cat hair just... disappear?

Luckily for us animal lovers, the market is packed with vacuum cleaners intended to enhance the life of a pet owner. Every vacuum on this list was made specifically to remove pet hair from your home.

Read on to discover the best vacuums for pet hair and hardwood floors to get a cleaning in no time.

Dyson Pet Vacuum Models

1. Dyson Ball Animal 2

The Dyson Upright Ball Animal 2 claims to have the strongest suction power of any vacuum, though it has a price point to match.

If you need someone (or their sinuses) never to know that an animal was present, you should probably go with it. Packed with an array of accessories to enable you to reach any nook or cranny, this model has everything you require for real deep clean.

This best vacuum cleaner for pet hair means business. Even deep pile carpets cannot hide debris that this device will not pick up. The vacuum is also appropriate for delicate flooring. Dyson's Ball Animal 2 has three separate vacuum modes for diverse situations—and that's just in the upright mode. Keep all equipment on hand, and you'll be able to tackle dirt, mud, and everything in between. 

Of course, a big vacuum requires a big canister. With about half a gallon of canister space, this vacuum will be slow to fill up. Perhaps our favorite part of the experience with this vacuum was its disposal method: press down on a red button, and the bottom of the canister opens up, allowing the dirt and debris to fall directly into a trash can without touching any of it. 

Shark Pet Vacuum Models

Shark Rocket ZS351The Shark Rocket ZS351 model is one of the best vacuums for pet hair. The Shark Rocket allows you to cut right to the chase. Not only does the ultra-slim design will enable you to plug in and get vacuuming everyplace right now, but it can also detach and become a hand-vacuum in seconds. It's perfect for those who want to give their living space regular once-overs to keep pet fur from accumulating.

With its incredibly handy Zero-M technology, which sends hair that has wrapped onto the inner mechanism straight to the canister where it belongs, the vacuum will reduce the time of removing pet hairs. 

After a breezy cleaning session, empty the canister and stash the Rocket away for next time. The canister is slightly smaller than the ones you'd find on regular upright vacuums. Don't let the ultra-light model fool you, though: you're still getting Shark's hugely powerful suction and fluid maneuverability. This small but powerful device will ensure that your apartment looks like the vacuum does: sleek and without a single extra detail.
