What is the best vacuum for a house with pets- do I really need to spend over $400 on a vacuum?

Or will the Bissell or Hoover brands be just as good?

Do any of these vacuums have a better warranty than the others?What is the best vacuum for a house with pets- do I really need to spend over $400 on a vacuum?A recent Consumer Report said Eureka gives you the most suck for your buck.What is the best vacuum for a house with pets- do I really need to spend over $400 on a vacuum?
bissell would be fine.life messy clean it up you do not have to go pay a fortune for a vacume why because society tells you that you do.i would stick with your choises they are just as good.What is the best vacuum for a house with pets- do I really need to spend over $400 on a vacuum?With 3 dogs (all fur) and 3 cats, we've tried every vacuum out there and the that seems the best has been the pet model of the Dyson. Next to that was the Bissell Pet model that just died on use about a year ago. We replaced it with the Dyson.



We tried the Eureka that was recommended in CR, the front section with the brushes broke after about 3 months and the suction port just behind the brushes became blocked in that same time frame. It was fine for about the first month but you need a shop vac to clean it out to keep its cleaning ability up.





I like the Dyson because you can kill power to the brush for hard surfaces.



Downside is the price.What is the best vacuum for a house with pets- do I really need to spend over $400 on a vacuum?
First, try to brush the animals often to cut down on the fur flying around the house. Depending on how much they are shedding, you might want to try a shop vac. They come in large and small sizes, they're cheap, they eat just about anything, and no roller brush to clean. Then again, if you have sensitive carpeting, (anything but flat), you might want to go to the expense of the Dyson Animal.What is the best vacuum for a house with pets- do I really need to spend over $400 on a vacuum?Get a Dyson, it comes with an attachment for pet hair and that right there is worth the money!What is the best vacuum for a house with pets- do I really need to spend over $400 on a vacuum?
They cost quite a bit more..But if you really want to clean your house... Try a Rainbow..We have had many vacuums over the years..but the Rainbow picks up more %26amp; it doesn't put dust back into the air..All the residue is trapped in a water resevoir. It takes a minute or two to dump the resevoir when your're done..but you will be amazed at what it picks up..No more "dust bags".What is the best vacuum for a house with pets- do I really need to spend over $400 on a vacuum?
Hi, A friend recently bought a Eureka boss smart vac ultra 4870 and she loves it. She said it was recommended by a leading consumer magazine and rated right up there with higher priced vacuums. It was priced around 150.00 and really cleans carpets and bare floors. Has hepa filtration, 8 carpet settings, convenient tools and ability to control suction when using tools. Hope this helps.

  • How harmful can secondhand smoke from marijuana be to pets?

    I dont mean blowing it directly in their face, but just in general, if they happened to be around it, how harmful can it be? I know that secondhand cigarette smoke can cause pet cancer.How harmful can secondhand smoke from marijuana be to pets?I have a funny story....

    I came home one afternoon, and my dog was acting kinda funny; stumbling, salivating, rather cross-eyed. I ran him to the vet, as I thought maybe someone had poisoned him (my neighbors hate dogs). The vet gave him stuff to make him vomit, and the vomit smelled rather familiar. There were small black/brown specks in it, too. An hour later, my dog was fine, so we went home. I found the remnants of my pipe on his bed! You can bet I didn't call the vet to tell him what happened! The dog still likes the smoke, though!How harmful can secondhand smoke from marijuana be to pets?
    it's harmful...don't smoke itHow harmful can secondhand smoke from marijuana be to pets?my cats love it..they act weird but i haven't had any problems.How harmful can secondhand smoke from marijuana be to pets?

    How harmful can secondhand smoke from marijuana be to pets?
    as critical as it is 2 u
    Every pet I have owned has never been affected by it health wise. The do get stoned too though.How harmful can secondhand smoke from marijuana be to pets?
    i doubt that any hip cats would mind a hit of weed. after all they adore catnip. i have seen pets climb up on couches when people were smoking up just to get closer to the smoke
    Unlike cigarettes, marijuana is not processed for shelf life. It is no worse for them than smoke from a bbq.
    It's as harmful to pets as it is to ANY BREATHING Creature...



    What makes you think it's different... your pets breathe and have lungs, don't they???



    Don't smoke it!!
    Just like marajuana is harmful to people, its harmful to pets too. On the Discovery Channel (or at least I think it was) they had this program call "Bugs on Drugs" in which scientists would let various insects be around marajuana smoke. One spider made its web all messed up and similar things happened to other bugs. Even though you may have a larger pet than perhaps a spider, yes, the smoke is just as, if not worse for pets.
    you have to put them in a box or bag or something and then blow the smoke into the box. otherwise, it's too diluted.
    if it ain't harmful to us, how harmful could it be to them?



    relax.... they'll be as chilled out as you are! lol

    How many pets (dogs & cats only) is one household legally allowed to have?

    I know some people that live in Missouri that have about 25 cats and 10 dogs - all living in their home. Is this legal? It seems like it would be a health hazard. Their home stinks really bad and there is animal hair all over the place. The animals are very well cared for though, some obese from eating too much food.How many pets (dogs %26amp; cats only) is one household legally allowed to have?In my state, the maximum number of animals of any kind allowed per household is ten. If that number is exceeded, a person can be charged with animal hoarding. Animal hoarding is a felony offense, with mandatory jail time, fines, and never being allowed to have any contact with animals ever again.How many pets (dogs %26amp; cats only) is one household legally allowed to have?It all depends on the laws for each individual city/town/state/province. In my town, located in Ontario, Canada, by-law stipulates that you are allowed 4 animals per household. You are allowed to own 2 dogs and two cats. If you own 3 dogs, you need a kennel license. Call your local municipality to find out the answers.How many pets (dogs %26amp; cats only) is one household legally allowed to have?Check the county, township and city laws to see if they have a limit. Most do have one, and require anyone exceeding that limit to be licensed as a kennel, or there is sometimes a permit for those who love to have lots of animals (I forget the exact term).



    As for the odor, usually there is an ordinance stating that such a situation is declared a nuisance.How many pets (dogs %26amp; cats only) is one household legally allowed to have?
    Depends on the state, but that does sound like too much. Almost like a hoarder. You should call the local ASPCA and they'll take care of it.

    What are the easiest pets to take care of?

    I have always wanted a turtle but I really don't know how easy or hard they are to take care of. I was wondering what is an easy pet to take care of that can be held, is inexpensive, and can be put in a tank. Please no fish, pet rocks, birds, or snakes. Also, no hermit crabs because they always die on me.What are the easiest pets to take care of?Little Aquatic dwarf frogs.

    I have African aquatic dwarf frogs.

    They usually come with their own tank and a cleaner and 1 year supply of food and gravel and bamboo.

    If you want to use your own tank make sure it is small.

    If it is big I would not recommend using it.

    They only eat twice a week 2 pellets per frog.



    HOPE I HELPED :)What are the easiest pets to take care of?
    Turtles aren't that easy to care for. They need LARGE tanks, with special equipment. This equipment can get pricey.



    The easiest animal to care for, that can live in a tank, is a hamster. They are furry and can be held. In fact, they need daily handeling in order to keep them used to you, and happy. They also need daily feeding/watering, and weekly cage change.

    http://www.myhammie.com/What are the easiest pets to take care of?hampster or gerbal...and yes turtles are very easy to take care of dont need much but food and water...unless u want to take him for a walk just go on up to you local pet supplies and buy him a little turtle coller and leash....they got all 4 colors depending on who ur favorate mutant ninja turtle is....but be careful because if u get one too big he might get out of it and try running away from you...also dont forget his turtle tag!!What are the easiest pets to take care of?

    2.albino corn snakes.


    boas
    1.Russian boa

    pythons
    1.ball python

    king snakes
    1.california king


    i only numbered some of the best begginer snakes.What are good types of snakes to have as pets?
    I have a Pueblan Milk snake, a spotted python, and a butter color corn snake, myself.



    Milk snakes, spotted pythons, and corn snakes are all are easy to take care of, and good first choices for snakes. King snakes are also nice.



    Pythons do tend to cost more though. They are bigger than those other types, and will cost more since they need more than the others of most things, and also, a larger terrarium.



    I find that my milk snake is extremely jittery, and hates being picked up, or even touched at all. I think a lot of them are like that. Some are better, but the ones that I've known are pretty jittery. But mine is still quite gentle, and wont bite me, or anything. She just flips around, and pees all over me whenever I touch her, or try to pick her up. On the up-side, she is extremely smart and intelligent, and beautiful to look at. And quite fun to have around even if I don't get to handle her a lot. Plus, she is very simple to care for.



    My spotted python is very quiet, and a lot slower, and doesn't mind being handled. She is incredibly sneaky, but a real sweetheart, and also quite easy to take care of, except more expensive than my other snakes, because she is larger, which makes her need a bigger enclosure. (I have a 60 gallon tank for her) Spotted pythons can live in 20 gallon tanks, but it's uncomfortable for them when they are full grown. It's better to have a 30-40 gallon tank, or larger for them.



    As for my corn snake, he and can move very fast if he wants to, but he's usually pretty slow, and doesn't mind being picked up all that much, although he would rather not be held. He doesn't pee on me though, which is nice, and he doesn't bite either, or hasn't yet.



    I've only ever been bitten by my python, and it was only because I had the smell of her food on my fingers when I put my hand in to take her out and feed her in her feeding tank. Always wash your hands very well before, and after handling a snake, and always feed them in separate enclosures. Don't feed them in their regular tank, or they'll start attacking anything you put into their tank, including yourself, thinking that it's food.



    Those are just some ideas of good first snakes to get. They are all pretty basic, and all have different, unique personalities, and habits.What are good types of snakes to have as pets?A lot of snakes are good pets!



    Here are my Top 5 Beginner Snakes:



    1. Corn snakes:

    Easy, docile, eat without hesitation, beautiful, affordable, and come in so many colours it's super hard to choose which you want!



    2. Boas:

    Maintain a managable size if male. Many dwarf species are avaliable as well. Gorgeous snakes, all the pointers of corns, except they can be more expensive.



    3. King snakes:

    VERY enthusiastic feeders, beautiful, juvenilles are docile, but babies can be quick. Overall great snake.s



    4. Irian Jaya Carpet Pythons:

    Great snakes if you want something a little more difficult, but do ALL your research before purchasing one!



    5. Ball pythons:

    Last on my list for good reason: they are bad bad feeders. If you're going to get a BP, make sure you are sure it's a good feeder on FROZEN mice, NOT live, and make sure you let it adjust a good long time before you handle/feed him. '



    Remember to do ALL your research and really think it out before you purchase!What are good types of snakes to have as pets?
