Our dog refused to go up and down our hardwood floors. When I saw these stairs rugs I had to try them.  Happy to report that. Eat can now go up and down with ease!  These work so great!  They are heavy duty and easily washable.  I throw  them in the washer and hang them dry about once every month or two. They stay in place pretty well and solved our problem in an affordable and aesthetically pleasing way!
