How do you combat dog hair?

For me it was never really an issue before as I drove a dogged out Outback with tan trim. However, my little guy is getting everywhere now.

Anyone with some real tips for taking care of this? I was thinking of buying a shop vac and just goin at it every few days.

I bought a 3M lint roller specifically to remove dog hair from my shirts. I also use it to remove hair that transfers from my shirts to the seats in my FR-S. My dog is like my little stalker, so I usually have dog hair on me.

I have a white German Shepard so I'm always dealing with her hair..I use a lint roller and a shop vac and I take care of it every 3-4 days so it doesn't build up..

She isn't allowed in the car, but my pants are always covered in white hair and it ends up on the floor and seats

I dont, my car seats have enough hair on them that I can create another small dog using it.

Man's best friend: FR-S
FR-S's worst enemy: Dogs (and shitty drivers)

Solution:
Avoid dogs and shitty drivers.

Lint roller for me as well. Fiance's hair plus her dog make it a must for me to have lint rollers.

I don't let my dog ride in the FR-S. The Tacoma had a big armrest she used to like to stand on or walk across, but the center console in the FR-S would present problems for her. Also, the Tacoma had a gray interior that hid a much of the hair. Still, some hair transfers from my clothing to the seats, so I have the lint roller to keep it clean.

Was hoping for some revolutionary ideas I'll stick with rollers and vacuum I guess!
