Pet-friendly homes need appliances that go the extra mile when it comes to tackling pet hair and dander.

Being a pet parent means more than cuddles, cute tricks, and joyful greetings at the front door. If you have a dog, cat, or rabbit, you already know about the everyday realities of life with a furry companion: pet hair and fur ending up on every surface, muddy paws, allergens and dander, and the never-ending laundry pile.

But did you know there’s a laundry system specifically engineered for homes with pets? The Maytag® Pet Pro Laundry System is built with powerful filtration and cleaning performance designed for pet-friendly homes. It’s a reliable solution to keep your home clean and healthy year-round.

A system designed for pet owners

​​​​According to the Canadian Animal Health Institute, m​​​​​​ore than half of Canadian households have at least one cat or dog. And while pets bring us joy, they also bring extra cleaning demands. ​     ​​

Pet dander and hair can accumulate quickly in clothing, blankets, and pet bedding.  

Veterinarians often recommend washing pet bedding every one to two weeks to reduce allergens, bacteria, and dander buildup.​ But washing frequently is only half the battle — having the right machine makes all the difference.​​ ​

The Maytag® Pet Pro Laundry System is built with powerful filtration and cleaning performance designed for pet-friendly homes.

That’s exactly what the Maytag® Pet Pro Laundry System was built for​ ​— a clean you can see. S​imply ​​press ​​the Pet Pro option to activate the ​​​​​built-in Pet Pro Filter​, which traps and removes ​​     ​pet hair from clothes​. In​​ ​the dryer​,​​ the Pet Pro option lifts and captures ​remaining hair from fabrics​,​ collect​ing​ it in an extra-large lint trap ​—​ so pet hair ends up where it belongs, not back on your laundry. 

Heavy-duty cleaning and proven reliability 

Standard washers aren’t designed to capture pet hair — often redistributing it onto other items or clogging over time.​​​​ The Pet Pro Laundry System features deep clean cycles built for heavily soiled loads and the Extra Power option, which boosts stain-fighting performance on any cycle with an intense pre-wash and extra agitation so you can walk away while stains wash away. Now, tackling muddy paws, pet accidents, and heavily soiled bedding just got easier.  

Pet parents need a machine they can count on — every load, every time. Maytag has built its reputation on exactly that: dependability and performance for households that run multiple loads a week, backed by a 10-year Limited Parts ​​Warranty*. For busy families, that means less rewashing, less stress and more time for what matters.
