We have several Oreck air purifiers but that's for dander as family members have allergies. If any hair particles get sucked into it, they get zapped and you can see the sparks which usually sends the dogs panicking out of the room. |
No opinion on air purifiers as I've never used one, but I do have a dog that sheds.
A LOT.
Thus, I second ,third and fourth
the advice of regular brushing - I don't brush daily, but I do brush/comb to the skin weekly. Especially if you have a double-coated dog you will notice a serious improvement in both the amount of fur on the floors, etc,
and in the health and general good disposition of your pup. Helps greatly with your bonding as well.

Also, double-coated dogs are prone to seasonal shedding/coat blow-out which, luckily, shouldn't last more than a week or two.
