Dog hair in the washer -

[hedgehog]

We have two dogs who shed a lot. Our new front loader worked fine for about six months, then stopped draining. My husband had to spend an hour tearing it down to get to the filter (bad design, that!) and found it completely plugged, end to end with dog hair. So the question is, is there anything I can toss into the washer with the clothes that willgrab the dog hair?
