According to the manufacturer, it is suitable. I don't have a pet and therefore have no experience with pet hair. However, you can set the programme to "2 passes", in which case it runs once lengthways and once across the room. The suction power can be set to "high". It recognises for itself whether it is running on carpet or hard floor and adjusts itself accordingly. It's a great appliance!

I can't answer that because I don't keep any animals. Sorry
