5 Best Vacuums for Pet-Friendly Homes

Living with pets brings plenty of joy: endless cuddles, wagging tails, and cute moments that brighten your day. But it also comes with some challenges, like fur on every surface, muddy paw prints on the floor, and the occasional spill. A lint roller can help, but sometimes it feels like a losing battle. That’s when a pet-friendly vacuum becomes essential.

Eureka has designed vacuums that are perfect for real family life. They’re easy to use, powerful enough to handle shedding season, and built to make cleaning feel less like a chore. Here are five of their top options to keep your home clean and comfortable with pets around.

 

Cordless Wet/Dry Vacuum All-in-One Mop

 

Best for everyday messes and quick cleanups

Perfect for those daily cleanups when life with pets gets messy, this vacuum handles everything from mopping up spills to removing fur tufts. The dual tank system keeps clean and dirty water separate, while the built-in mop tackles paw prints, fur, and drool in a single sweep. Lightweight and cordless, it lets you move easily through rooms and across different surfaces without stopping.

 

WhirlWind Canister Vacuum

 

Best for powerful cleaning in a portable design

Designed for powerful, hassle-free cleaning in pet-friendly homes, the WhirlWind delivers strong suction and easy maneuverability in one compact vacuum. Cyclone Technology captures most debris before it reaches the filter, keeping performance consistent. A large 2.5L dust cup reduces the need for frequent emptying, while the crevice tool and telescoping wand make it easy to lift fur from corners, stairs, and tight spaces like between cushions.

 

RapidClean Pro Stick Vacuum

 

Best for small spaces and quick pet-hair pickups

Fast, flexible, and perfect for everyday pet messes, this ultra-light stick vacuum weighs just 2.5 pounds but packs enough power to tackle fur and dust with ease. It quickly converts into a hand vacuum for cleaning stairs, couches, or car seats, making it a great choice for apartments, condos, or busy families on the go.

 

Rapidwash Wet/Dry Vacuum Cleaner and Mop Combo

 

Best for heavy messes and busy pet households

Built for deep cleaning every day, this model is perfect for homes where muddy paws and daily messes are the norm. Its brushless motor powers through dirt and pet hair, while a five-stage filtration system traps dust and fine particles to keep your home feeling fresh.

 

PowerSpeed Cord Rewind Upright Vacuum

 

Best for homes with lots of fabric and furniture

Perfect for pet-friendly homes, this upright vacuum makes it easy to tackle stubborn hair and hidden messes. It’s lightweight and easy to maneuver, with a Pet Turbo Brush that lifts embedded fur from rugs, cushions, and upholstery. LED headlights reveal what you might miss, and the automatic cord rewind keeps storage quick and tidy.

 

Choosing the right one

Every home is different and so is every pet. If you need something quick and lightweight, a stick vacuum is a great go-to. For tackling spills and paw prints, a wet and dry model can be a lifesaver. And if your pets spend as much time on the couch as you do, an upright with a pet tool will help keep fabrics clean and fresh.
