Owning dogs my entire life, finding pet fur in seemingly every crevice of my home was just a normal part of life. My black clothes were no match for my childhood dog Luna, a Golden Retriever, and her constant shedding. And while my current dog is hypoallergenic (meaning she apparently doesn’t shed), I still find several strands of white hair on my clothes every time she cuddles in my lap.
A typical disposable lint roller might come in handy, but they’ve always felt wasteful to me and less than practical — one sheet likely won’t be enough for heavy shedding dogs, cats and other animals, forcing you to use multiple at a time. And using dozens of hard-to-peel, hair-filled adhesive sheets that stick to everything was just an added annoyance on the daily.
Investing in grooming equipment that removes loose hairs and the right tools to de-fuzz your home’s surfaces — like carpet, couches and sweaters — can make rogue pet hair the least of your concerns, and let you flaunt your dark-colored clothes again.

ChomChom Roller Pet Hair Remover
This tool by ChomChom uses brush bristles to remove pet hair from your couch, bed, carpet or any other surface. It doesn’t use adhesive or sticky tape typical to a lint roller, making it reusable without needing refills — you simply roll the device back and forth in short strokes to trap the pet hair and lint inside a chamber, which opens at the touch of a button for easy discarding. There’s also no power source or batteries required, so you can use it anytime and take it on the go.

Plus, brushing with this glove will mimic your normal petting motion, so your pet feels more comfortable and relaxed.
