Current Events > Are you constantly covered in dog hair if you own a dog (malamute)?

(+) Yeah! (+)

Im working in the food business so i need to know if i'll be constantly covered in dog hair if i own one. Like, will I be able to get dressed for work and train my dog not to jump on me and get to work no problem or will there be just so much hair around the house that i'll never be completely dog hair free?

Well, it should go without saying, the bigger the dog, the more hair will be shed. You will never be dog hair free. That's just not possible.

Also whether your dog is super active and affectionate or if it is kinda chill.... You're still getting hair on you.

They're going to shed more than some other breeds, particularly entering into summer and winter. It's likely that you will have to deal with there being some hair around the house, but you can likely keep it to a minimum with regular upkeep (dog brushing, vacuuming, using a swiffer type broom or duster, etc).

You pretty much have to weigh in on whether that's something you want to deal with or not, it's definitely a major con to owning pets. You do adapt to it pretty quickly though. You can always give your clothes a once or twice over with a lint brush or lint roller to remove the hair before leaving the house.

Shit i guess that means i wont be able to own one til the day I retire.

You don't think that people in the food business own dogs? Just have to be very thorough in cleaning your home and car. That way you minimize what you have to do to keep your clothes clean.

I dont own a dog, but the answer is yes.
