Pet Vacuums & Accessories
Pet vacuums and pet hair tools from Miele, Riccar and Lindhaus — machines built for shedding dogs and cats, plus the turbo brushes, pet tools and stain removers that keep a pet home clean. Shop below, or call 763-535-0770 for help choosing.
Choosing Pet Vacuums for a Home with Dogs and Cats
Pet hair is harder to pick up than ordinary dust. It weaves into carpet pile and upholstery, it clings to fabric with static, and it wraps around brush rolls. Pet vacuums deal with that in three ways: stronger agitation on carpet (a motorized electrobrush or an air-driven turbobrush), a dedicated hand tool for furniture and stairs, and filtration that holds dander and controls odor instead of blowing it back into the room.
This section is split in two. Pet Vacuum Cleaners holds the complete machines — Miele Cat & Dog canisters and cordless sticks, Riccar Premium Pet uprights, and the Miele TurboTeam canisters that ship with a turbobrush. Pet Tools & Accessories holds the add-ons: the Riccar Fur Get It pet hair remover, Riccar handheld and power turbo brushes and Lindhaus Pure Power pet odor and stain remover.
Canister, Upright or Cordless?
A canister such as the Miele Guard L1 Cat & Dog or Miele Classic C1 Cat & Dog is the quietest way to clean a mixed home and reaches under furniture and up stairs easily. An upright such as the Riccar Tandem Air R40P Premium Pet or Riccar Clean Air R27P Premium Pet puts the deepest carpet cleaning in one machine. A cordless stick like the Miele Triflex HX3 Cat & Dog is the quick daily pass for hair on hard floors and rugs. Browse every brand on our Miele, Riccar and Lindhaus pages, or compare more machines in canister vacuums and upright vacuums.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes a vacuum a pet vacuum?
A pet vacuum adds tools and filtration aimed at pet hair and odor: a motorized electrobrush or air-driven turbobrush to pull hair out of carpet, a hand tool for upholstery and stairs, and a filter that holds dander and controls odor. Miele sells these models as Cat & Dog, and Riccar as Premium Pet.
Do I need a pet vacuum or just a pet tool?
If your current vacuum cleans well and you mainly fight hair on furniture, stairs and the car, a pet tool such as the Riccar Fur Get It or a handheld turbo brush is enough. If hair is embedded in carpet throughout the house or odor is a problem, a pet vacuum with carpet agitation and an odor filter makes the bigger difference.
Which pet vacuum is best for allergies?
Look for sealed filtration. The Miele Cat & Dog canisters use Miele filtration with an Active AirClean or HEPA exhaust filter, and the Riccar R40P uses a 7-stage sealed HEPA system with granulated charcoal. Call us and we will match a machine to your home.
