The Shed Defenders also keep canines warm in winter and protect them from ticks.
Dog owners tired of finding their pet pooch's hair on everything may have had their prayers answered following the creation of leotards for dogs.
Shed Defenders have been created to stop dogs shedding their fur around the house.
Tighter-fitting than your standard dog coat, the outfit comes in a range of sizes and colours, and is reported to be safe and comfortable for dogs.
According to the makers of the versatile leotard it also keeps canines warm in winter, and will also protect them from flying insects, ticks, or plants which might irritate them.
Tyson Walters, founder of US-based Shed Defender, said: "The idea came to me about six or seven years ago.
"I had this huge St. Bernard Harley, and i just couldn't control her shedding. No matter how much I brushed and groomed her, she still left tumbleweeds of hair everywhere.
"I looked around on the internet and dog stores and i couldn't find a solution to my product, so I decided to make one.
"After four years of making prototypes and testing, I finally had a product that we could sell online in eight sizes and seven colours.
"People love the idea, love the look, and it is a head turner. People always take pictures of my own dog Harley when she's wearing it and ask where they can get one. Hot pink is one of our hottest selling colours, its fashionable!
"There's only been one dog I couldn't put it on, and this is after thousands of fittings with other dogs. The dog didn't like its paws touched!
"My next big step is to get licenses for sport teams and make custom ones with logos."
