Our 17 All-Time Favorite Cleaning Tools for Dog Owners

Dog hair, don’t care. Well, unless guests are coming over, or there’s a big meeting and you don’t want your black skirt looking like mohair.

We love our dogs, but it’s a truth universally acknowledged that dogs bring a little extra stink, hair, and slobber into our lives. Of course, we know it’s all worth it! And dog people have some amazing tools on their side to combat the mess.

We searched through our archives and reader favorites to compile this roundup of our all-time favorite cleaning and grooming tools for dog owners. This list has something for every situation, from muddy paws to shedding season to potty accidents.

Prevention: It’s All About the Groom

SleekEZ shedding tool

This bad boy gets the job done, but gently.

Slicker brush

A classic tool for fur coats of varying lengths, this is a handy everyday brush.

Furminator

This de-shedder is essential for dogs with double coats (Huskies, we’re looking at you.)

Shedding glove

Wearable, soft, and easy to use, a shedding glove is also a fun excuse for extra petting.

Cleaning Fabrics and Furniture

Extra-Sticky Roller


It’s that super stickiness that helps this one rise above the rest!

Keep one in your bag, glove box, and kitchen drawer.

FURemover Pet Hair Brush

Rubber bristles make this easy to use on a wet dog, as well as along couch surfaces.

Pet Hair Eraser Handheld Vacuum


Powerful and portable: that’s how we like our vacuums, especially for small spaces.

Stain and Odor Control

Nature’s Miracle Stain and Odor Remover Carpet Shampoo

For stubborn or long-standing stains, as well as quarterly carpet maintenance, a good carpet shampoo does wonders.

This one harnesses the power of natural enzymes for odor reduction, too.

Urine Destroyer Stain and Residue Eliminator

Seriously, you have to try this. It’s practically magic when it comes to getting out urine smells from rugs and furniture.

Pet Fresh Baking Soda Carpet Odor Eliminator

Some dog owners may not like this sweet scent, but the Pet Fresh Odor Eliminator really does mask bad smells—just sprinkle it on before you vacuum.

Lavender & Chamomile Shine Spray & Doggy Cologne

For those times when you just can’t do a bath.

Floor and Carpet Cleaning

FURemover broom

There’s a reason this broom is a perennial favorite with our readers. It really works!

Bobsweep Pet Hair Robot Vacuum

Like a Roomba, but specifically designed to tackle pet hair.

Steerable Bagless Vacuum

This is an excellent price for a very effective vacuum. We love how easy it is to maneuver, and the suction is pretty darn good.

Dyson Animal Vacuum Cleaner

The Cadillac of vacuums! The Dyson is expensive, but it works very well—for years.

A solid investment for a dog owner.

Power Scrub Deluxe Carpet Cleaner

When you see this thing fill up with dirty water, you’ll be horrified and relieved that you tackled your carpets with the power of steam.

Rug Doctor

The Rug Doctor is an incredibly powerful carpet cleaner that we swear by in the Rover offices.

There are a lot of dogs here, and you can’t even tell (based on smell, that is!)
