This rug is not only versatile due to the many colors incorporated into it, but it’s surprisingly dog friendly! I have four basset hounds and they shed, so daily vacuuming is essential. So far, this rug is holding up, with no fading. The real test of the rug came within hours of it hitting the floor; dog mom life! I had to shampoo the entire rug, fearing it was already stained. The rug cleaned up flawlessly, bringing it back to it’s like new state.
