Pet shedding is a huge, ongoing issue in this home. Back when Mike and I wanted to get our first pet together, we unanimously agreed that a German Shepherd was the best choice. When we found out there were white German Shepherds we thought that was even cooler. It’s a known fact that shepherds make fantastic pets, and are among one of the smartest dog breeds, but boy do they shed. And I swear I think the white ones shed even more than the the other ones! Hilo is like a walking bread crumb trail. He leaves evidence wherever he goes. When we brush him outside, his fur makes excellent bird bedding, though.

When Pet Shedding Takes Over #NeatoBestPetVacuum

True confession time: I hate cleaning. This is not really a secret as I have mentioned it many times. I mean, I don’t like to have a gross house, but taking the time to clean just drives me nuts. It feels like such a futile task since it’s all undone so quickly. Especially with the dog fur. We could sweep and vacuum several times of day and still not get it all. Wouldn’t it be just fantastic if there was a device that would vacuum for you? I don’t know, like a robot?

Wait a minute…

That device does exist! The Neato Robot Vacuum is the real deal. I have been not-so-subtly hinting that it’s high up there on my Christmas list. While reading up on Neato Robotics, I was quite impressed with their innovative thinking. They made the vacuum square to fit in corners, it has Botvision to prevent it from bumping into everything, and it has an extra large bin. That’s only a few of the features that caught my eye.

Having three dogs now it’s even more of a challenge with the fur-fight. The other two don’t have such long and noticeable hair, but they do still shed. If I am ever going to have my dream of having several rescue animals, we need to get this under control with the help of a robot. Since the Neato Botvac has rave reviews and is being called “the best vacuum for pet owners”, I’m pretty sure that’s our winner.

If you have any pet owners on your nice list {ahem} this year, a Neato Robot Vacuum would be an epic gift. Epic. Stay tuned for another post in mid-November with details on how you can have a chance to win one!

Is pet shedding an issue in your home? What do you think the coolest feature of the Neato is?

    That is a pretty neat gadget. My dog doesn’t shed, but my kids do. Does that count?

    I hate when the dog hair gets behind stuff, like HOW?! There needs to be a vaccuum with little extension arms to get behind and under everything (but a robot one, I don’t want to do it!).

    Pet shedding is definitely an issue in our home. I need one of these bad boys!

    We have cats, so our shedding is minimal. I think this would be awesome for my daughter who has 2 dogs.

    I want a Neato so bad! I hope that Santa brings me one because I will put it to good use.

    I LOVE new cleaning supplies and would totally LOVE one of these! It really has the perfect name too!

    I actually burned up a vaccum thanks to all the pet hair my dog and cat left behind! No joke. It wasn’t very old either….less than 2 months old and I killed it good. And yes, we emptied the canister after every time using it.

    I could definitely use one of these neato vacuums. I’m tired of manually vacuuming every day!

    This is really cool invention. I’d love to have one of these roaming my house, sucking up all the junk.

    No pets here but I swear my 3 kids shed! I’d love to have this in my home!

    That is AWESOME! This would be great for any house – pets or no pets.

    Well this is the coolest thing ever. I don’t have shed monsters like you do, but I do love the idea of a vacuum making its way around my house without me pushing it!

    I have two long hair cats. This would be great for my house. The fur gets everywhere.

    I SO want one of these! We do not have pets but we have 5 messy kids. I feel like all I do is clean up after them this looks amazing!

    Ugh, I have two dogs, three kids, and inlaws; I totally need this. HA! I am adding this to my holiday wish list 🙂

    I love anything that works on command like that. I’m all for time saving ways to clean!

    This is so cool. We have a Siberian Husky and we live in Phoenix, lets just say I can totally relate to your problem!

    Between me and the dogs… we have a very ‘hairy’ situation going on over here! Could totally use this!

    That is so cool!!! First your puppy is very pretty, and second I love the idea of having a vacuum designed for pets that just cruises around cleaning for you! This is something I would get my inlaws after they decide on a new doggy.
