Indeed one manufacturer (Milele) says not to vaccuum pets directly as it may displace their vital organs, such is the power of the machine, Just keep hair down with a good brush of the dog.
I can knit a jumper from Shaney at the moment !
He is a cross GS/Lab ..I have got him booked up for a bath and a coat strip next week as he has a thick double coat. It"s coming out in tufts at the moment in spite of a good brushing most days.
I think this heat does affect them as he doesn"t seem to moult as much in the cold weather. Vitapet oil in his food does help and keeps his coat nice and glossy.I also put rock sulphur in his water in this heat to help cool him down.

my dad does vaccum barney EVERY day and pulls out all the loose hair but it honestly makes no difference and yeah he loves a good hoover! my dad even got a special nozzle thing especially for dogs. You just put it on the end of your hoover and it works miracles. He even went as far as getting a special hoover for it aswelll
I have 2 Golden Retrievers & they shed constantly. I take them into the garden once a week & give them a good brush. I use an under rake 1st & this gets rid of loads of loose fur from thier undercoat. I can't believe how much comes off & it just keeps coming, no matter how long I brush for!!
