The picture on the website of this rug did not do it justice! Wow! I debated a long time on ordering it because the picture was taken looking straight down on the rug and it looked like a flat bathmat. More than once i have wished for some up close or extra pictures on items. I am so glad I took a chance on it because the rug is perfect! It was nice and plush, not the same as a real sheepskin rug, but the price was much better! It has not shed at all and like other reviewers, my dog loves it! I am also super excited that it is machine washable. I feel confident that I will be purchasing some more!
