This is one reason I dont like buying a car used. I might buy one used one day with dog hair clogged in my seat ventilation.

Is this question rhetorical?
Everything clogs with dog hairs in the long run.

It isn't like the vents self cleans. lol

I do not think so. If the air intake has a filter, then it will have no problem.
The main AC has no this kind of concern, because it has a filter.

Plus, if the fan of the ventilated seat being clogged with dog hair, it will be even louder!

My main point was if you are in the presence of lots of dog hair, clogging is always a potential problem.

I know I'm also a dog owner but I assume this going in.
