does anyone vacum their dog? I know this sounds really weird. I have been told to vacum my pup daily as he has a lot of what seems to be dander. I just wondered if anyone on here has done this and if it helps. or is too fightening for the pup? I am having very bad eye allergies with him and at the end of my rope. I feel like there are needles in my eyes. He is only 11 weeks old. He was eating Benefull at the breeders. I dont think that is a proper food and maybe it is why he has the dander.I asked on the health forum about fish oil as well. I cant go on a lot allergy meds as they cause me heart palpitations. I will have to give him up if no kind of solution soon. I am sleeping in my trailer tonight to get a break.I will do anything I can to be able to keep him. All help is much appreciated |
Vacumm? As in hoover? No way , Tia would be sucked up the tube lol She runs a mile when I get it out. This is a dog we are talking about , not a carpet or a rug. Yorkies have hair not fur so are you sure its the dog you are allergic to? |

Bathe them regularly, brush them every day, use an oil like(Grizzly Salmon oil, Derm Caps, etc.), vacuum your house ever day, launder their bedding often, make sure to use a good quality food (definately NOT Beneful), think about an air purifier, change air filters often and see if those ideas may help. |
Peanut is scared of the vacum.. I dont see how any has done that one before.. Do you take allergie medicine? |

Please check that it is the dog you are allergic to. A vacuum is very loud and will scare your baby. |
Prince, no way...but I had a golden retriever who absolutely loved to be vacuumed!!! I had to put him in a different room or I would never finish. He would sit down infront of the vacuum and roll on his back...every time! A small yorkie, omg!!! No way! My electrolux would suck him in!! |
No way! Mine high tail it upstairs when they see me getting the vaccum out of the closet |
:thumbdownNo Way! That sounds dangerous. My Dyson has sucked the backing of a rug before. :eek:I would never put near my babies. |
WHAT???!!! you should NEVER vacuum a dog! especially a small puppy! you could injure them!:eek: |
How to Vacuum a Dog | eHow.com OMG!!! You can find anything on the internet!! Please don't do this to a small dog! |
Yorkies absolutely not -- Boxers positively! I wouldn't vacuum the Yorkies, but I DO vacuum Boo the Boxer and she absolutely loves it. When she was a pup, I couldn't get the vacuum out without giving her a once over :). :rolleyes: She was obsessed with the vacuum cleaner. We also vacuum the horses. In fact, during the days that I was raising/training miniatures to drive, one of the things that I always did was to train them to accept the vacuum all over their bodies - except the head. |
Gee seems like I got everyone upset with me:(Just asking a quesion as I was told that you can vacum a dog to get the dander off of them. I was sure they must have meant a little hand vac that is not very strong not a hoover or an electrolux. This was a person in a pet store. She said she vacumed her dog regularly and it helped with her kids allergies. |

Hummm -- I'm not upset at all. I think it would be a terrific training opportunity (you would have to train Jackson to tolerate the vacuum) and perhaps it would help with the allergies. I would definately use one that has gentle suction, though, or you might injure him. With the Boxer and the Miniature horses I used an Electrolux which had powerful suction. It was great to vacuum the dander and dust before parades. |
Hi chattiesmum It is not Jackson that bothers me it is the little 11 week old pup with his fluffy hair that is giving me the problems. I cant take allergy meds ongoing as they give me heart palpitations. I am a little desperate as I dont want to give this little guy up . We love him and have only had him a week.Just trying to find out any way I can to be able to keep him. |

lol To be honest I did have the regular vacuum in mind, you wern\'t very clear , hence the reaction .I kept getting visions of this ball of fluff being sucked up. Hand vacuum , thats probably different I havn\'t had experience with one. |
