We bought this rug in 5x7 last year and unfortunately had to throw it away due to our dogs dirt and fleas. We just finished our bedroom makeover and I was so excited to re buy it in an 8x10. It's so soft and pulls everything together. However, they are difficult to clean and we will likely hire someone to do it this time so we don't end up at a loss again. We no longer have a big dog though so hopefully this one will last us!
