Love the pet, not the fur tumbleweeds. This kit covers every spot hair lands: a reusable roller for the couch, sticky lint rollers for your outfit, a rubber broom that drags fur out of rugs, and a pet hand vacuum for stairs and cushions.

The ChomChom roller is Dogster's best value pick and NBC Select's best overall, the FURemover broom is the best overall at both Dogster and Hepper, and the hand vacuums won Bob Vila's tests. Then stop it at the source with a deshedding tool, and toss a FurZapper in the wash for blankets that come out still furry. Each card shows the drawback the outlet called out. Start with a roller, a lint roller and the broom, then add the rest as shedding season hits.

Who this is not for. Skip this if you're bringing a pet home for the first time; the New Puppy and Cat lists cover crates, litter, beds and first grooming basics.

budget pick · Dryer only

Grand Fusion Pet Hair Remover Dryer Balls

Questions people ask

Reusable roller or sticky lint roller?

Get both. Reusable rollers like the ChomChom never need refills but you empty the hair by hand, and they work best on taut fabric. Sticky rollers are faster on clothes, but Hepper suggests checking what refills cost before you commit.

Does a rubber broom replace vacuuming?

Not fully. Dogster says the FURemover broom traps hair on carpet and hard floors, but carpet still needs a vacuum afterward.

How do I get pet hair out of laundry?

Toss a FurZapper in the washer or dryer, or use dryer balls in the dryer. Dogster notes the FurZapper can't be used with fabric softener, and you'll need to clean the lint trap more often.
