If you find dog grooming a challenge you may be glad to know that you can vacuum groom your dog. However, you’ll need a hoover designed for use on pets, or special vacuum attachments for dog grooming.
Fortunately for me, Whippets don’t shed very much and they’re short haired. This means that grooming isn’t a huge chore for me. That said, I still occasionally use a vacuum for grooming, alongside a more thorough “manual” grooming session.
It’s advisable to use special equipment if you intend to use a vacuum for grooming your dog. Professional dog grooming vacuums can be expensive though. Hence, in this post I’m going to focus on perhaps the most economical way to carry out “suction” grooming: vacuum attachments.

I’ve researched Amazon for vacuum attachments for dog grooming. Where possible, I’ve looked for attachments with a universal fitting. However, there are one or two products on this list that have a specific fitting for branded models.
I list each of the attachments with details of vacuum compatibility, star rating according to reviewers and links to each grooming attachment on Amazon for you to find out more. I should advise that I am not providing reviews of the products myself. I’ve only researched what’s available on Amazon to save you some legwork!
