What does the vac do with liquids it may encounter? We have all tile, but one small dog that has accidents....

I don't think the unit would handle liquids well. Probably make a big mess.

Unfortunately, it would suck it up. Our dog had diarrhea while we were gone and it went right thru it. :( That clogged it up, and it thankfully returned to its base. (rather than dragging it thru the whole house) It was a horrible mess to clean up. It was all in the brushes...everywhere!

I use the animal on tile and hardwood as well. I just turn the brush off. I believe the animal is just better suited for pet owners for picking up pet hair. Hope that helps.

dirt dog doesnt have a suction but is a sweeper....it's terrific and i also have a dog in the house....i have wood floors and tiled floors...it works great on both.............i use dirt dog on my patio outside and also use it on the garage floor....i am amazed how it works and cleans such a big area even without virtual walls........but it does have a problem on fringed carpets...i just tuck them under.....i am looking to get a vaccum roomba for house and keep my dirt dog for patio and garage.....but it works great in house too.....

I would advise you reach out to the Great Vacs folks, very responsive, to see what additional attachments would be needed.A squeegie attachment is available for wood, stone, linoleum etc. The vac itself I found to be so delightful that when I lost this model back in a 90s breakup, I continued thinking about it until I finally bought one again a month ago.

Not that i can figure out. Good question though....our old commercial vac would let you do that.

hmmm. i'm no professional, but since it's hardwood, you might have to sand it out. I'm thinking it's pretty soaked in there. and to "unsoak' it with more liquid will probably trash it. Is the pee in a super visible place? I was thinking maybe you could spray some Fizzion on, then sprinkle it with baking soda or borax, maybe, to suck up the Fizzion and with luck, the cat pee also. But, I have NO IDEA if this will do something crazy to the floor. I'm curious now, I think I'll have to go online and see if someone has come up with a solution! Good luck!

A shop vac nozzle is possibly too large, and there might be too strong of a suction for it to be effective. I can't say for sure, as I only use my regular vacuum on mine.

I had to add my two cents worth here. I had this happen when I tried the dog on new food. We now refer to this as the PoopyRoomba. It could be a dance or a country you visit on an exotic vacation. I killed the electronics when I cleaned up the mess. (I am in healthcare and nothing is too gross for me to tackle). It would make sense for Roomba to "sequester" the electronics so that you could clean the darn thing more thoroughly without taking the risk on frying the electronics. Of course, soupy doggy poop is bad stuff! The Roomba in question was two years old so.....

I would not think you would need the dog model since your animal does't shed much. You may have to empy the container more often but that is no big deal. As far as shag goes carpet goes, I can not answer as to how it will work. It does a great job with our medium and short pile carpet and tile floors. Very good vac, I would buy another.

Haha I accidentally sucked it up in the vacuum hose a couple months ago. It ways under the bed. It is small but you fill it with cat and it Velcro closes, it was fun for my cat until it got sucked in vac. heaven

I honestly don't know as my puppy usually doesn't go to the bathroom when I am gone. She did use the puppy pad in there once and there was no mess. She also did spill her water and it didn't go through, however it was close to a puppy pad and most of it seemed to soak up with that, so I haven't had that happen I can't honestly answer 100%, hope this was of some help.

The other answers you have received today have hit the nail on the head. The Chem-Dry Carpet Stain Extinguisher is the best product we have found to clean up those "messes" left by our dog. Follow R.C.'s and E.C.G.'s advice and you will love the product too with the purchase of your first bottle. Good Luck, JH

There is a canvas rapped piece of hard plastic on the floor of the carrier, however any liquid will just roll off the bottom of the carrier and run out the meshing. I have a faux lambskin mattress for comfort on the bottom and my pet has never had to stay inside so long that he urinated in the carrier. I take him out at intervals to stretch and void.

i can only speak for dogs, but they too would scatter if i took out the vacuum. with the neato, my one dog thought it was a toy and went down on his front paws to play. the other dog ignored it. i used to have cats, and i don't think this will bother them as much as an upright vacuum. let them sniff it and get close before using it the first time, as they will be curious. when they get used to it, they'll go somewhere else while it's running. i hope this helps.

Small dogs would probably do fine. Don't know about cleaning but should hose off well. Lots of grooves.

The shop vac will work. You just have to watch the container so it does not fill up.

I have no pets so cannot tell you that sorry! I use an old floor attachment (this does not come with one) on the hose and it does well on tile floors.
