is it difficult to remove fur from this cover? my dog sheds like crazy.

I use a lint brush and/or my Dyson Animal Hair removal machine. So I find it easy.

No. In fact, it barely even collects on this thing. I have a short haired dachshund and a long haired cat, I've had my cover for 3 months, and I've never removed hair beyond tossing the cover in the wash, because I can't even tell it's fur-covered. For super-shedding dogs, it should come right up with the same method you use to remove it from your clothes. The fabric is like velour, but it's not a fur-magnet like velour.

I have Shelties...they shed like crazy also. I've had no problems with hair removal. I use a sticky roller or an upholstery attachment on the end of the vacuum to remove hair. Also, the cover is no problem to remove and throw in the washer and dryer. It slips back on the sofa easily.

The fur comes right off. I usually use my handheld dyson sweeper attachment but even a damp cloth works just fine! I am very happy with this cover!

I have a 60# boxer and he doesn't slide around but it may be due to his weight. I also had a little beagle that rode on it, but I put a blanket under her because she was old. I don't think that the blanket slid around on it. I do love it though. It is way better than any of the other covers I had in the past.

No, we tossed in a fleece/non skid blanket.Still helps contain the shedding.Good luck.

I think it's pretty thick. My dog is about 40 pounds and she lays high on it. I'm sure you can use another cover if it's the same size.

No it's not a cover that can be taken off really.. I had to throw it out cause it got torn so easily and dust kept building up on it. It was hard to clean..

Good question. The comfort does seem to attract some dust and hair. I do have a dog who sheds. So far he has not been on the comforter when it is on top of the bed. It is a matter of time as he does spend time up there on the made up bed when I am going. I would guess that it might attract some hair.

No really. I do it because I have a dog and he sheds like crazy with a toddler and a newborn. If you don't have that problem, mop as you would with any other mop. Hope this helps.

I have only had my duvet for a few months and I haven't had any problems with the feathers comin thru. The only closure the duvet has though, are buttons. Guess it depends how bad yours shed.

I bought the cover and had only used it once. It's not the easiest to work with. I have bunnies and just use carpet runners.

I agree with Laura's assessment: NOT durable. Mine lasted a couple of months, but dog is not a scratcher. Now I'm having a hard time trying to find someplace where I can buy a replacement cover just to add "insult to injury". :-/

It is a pretty good cover - it wraps all the way around. Both of my kitties fell over sideways when I put it on the first time. Lol. They figured out they could still walk pretty quick tho. I think it might work for excessive grooming, although when I remove it, he tries to lick his back and shoulders, so yours might groom more when it's off. Good luck!

My daughter's Lab has shed all over it and it comes off pretty easily, but wouldn't say it repels dog hair.

I have a shedding dog as well. It will pick up the hair but you may have to empty the bin depending on how big of an area you are setting the roomba in

I've got border collies, double coat, fur EVERYWHERE; probably shed just as ridiculously as a GS. I don't brush them with this, I massage and loosen up the fur before using a slicker brush. It gets heaps of fur up, and the dogs eyes roll back up in their head from enjoyment. Haha. Plus they always look good. I haven't used it for a wash/scrub but it's better then I imagined it would be dry.

My mastiff is a stinky boy too! What i do is put down a throw over the bed and then wash that each week...the cover itself is thicker than i imagined ot would be so it protects the foam well...also it has never touched him...i don't notice any trapped odor in the bed so far...it smells like the carpet it's on if anything. I have a stinky coonhound too and do the same with her bed...so far so good!

I have 2 dogs that shed HEAVILY and it removes all traces of fur 100% completely...which exceeded my expectations. Seriously, there is not a trace of animal fur left after you use this thing. It is crazy powerful.
