Frequently asked questions

Homes with pets need to be vacuumed more frequently. Pet paws tread dirt from outside. And pet hair and pet dander drop wherever your pet roams at home. Dyson recommends vacuuming your floors, pet beds and upholstery one to four times per week. More often, if you have many pets.

Dyson vacuums are engineered to capture and contain household dirt and pet hair – even the microscopic pet dander you can't see. Available across Dyson’s range of cordless vacuums, our latest de-tangling Motorbar™ cleaner heads are engineered to suck up pet hair. And hair removal vanes automatically clear wrapped hair from the brush bar as you clean. Also available with Dyson V15™, V12 Detect Slim™, Cyclone V10™ and V8 Slim™ vacuums, the Hair screw tool has a de-tangling brush bar that quickly removes hair from pet beds, car seats, sofas and stairs.
