Keeping Pet Hair Under Control

Excess hair in the home is always an issue for people with pets. Most cats have a lighter-than air undercoat that sheds and renews throughout the year, while dogs that shed often have heavy seasons dictated by outdoor temperatures, making summers a challenge. To keep the dander down, brush your animal companions on a weekly basis, and sweep and vacuum the floors at least as often, Daily Mom says. Not only will your pets be more comfortable in the summer heat, the house will host fewer allergens.
