If you really like to pamper your pooch, then it's time to hoover your hound. The Dyson Groom tool is a vacuum-cleaner attachment that takes care of your dog's hair, keeping your moulting mutt from messing up your home.
This is no shaggy dog story: the Groom is a real nozzle for your Dyson, designed to clean your canine's coat. Defuzzing your dog is a simple matter of popping the Groom onto the end of your vacuum cleaner's nozzle and brushing a clean, dry coat with smooth, even strokes.
To remove loose hair and dead skin cells, the Groom has 364 stainless-steel bristles, angled at 35 degrees. Pressing harder with your thumb extends the bristles, to suit dogs with long hair. That makes grooming a one-handed affair. The bristles retract for storage purposes.
A team of Dyson engineers has spent the last year experimenting with different types of dog grooming, so it could work out the necessary bristle strength and optimal angles. That sounds like a job handed out to Dysonites when they've messed up somehow -- they get sent to the doghouse.
The Groom costs £40. You'll be able to add it to your hi-tech vacuum-cleaner collection, alongside the Roomba and NaviBot. Click through our photo gallery for some tips on how to help Fido stay well-groomed and looking his best at all times. Next week, we'll show you how to train your dog to actually do the hoovering.

'That sounds like a job handed out to Dysonites when they've messed up somehow' - no way! They were fighting like cats and dogs to get that job.

Someone suggested it, and James Dyson said "Dachsunds like a good idea"

I bought the Dyson Dog Grooming Tool. Months later and many phone calls and emails later I had to return it as it doesn’t fit on to the hose end of my Dyson DC05!! even though I checked the serial number with Dyson before buying. They expected me to fit it onto the 7 inch curved purple pipe on the end – try grooming your dog with all this on there – impossible!! Dyson have cocked up in not checking the full working compatibility with the older models. The pictures on the website and in their product catalogues are incorrect for the older models. BEWARE before you buy even if your serial number seems ok on their website!
