Our 15 yo cocker spaniel is the cutest little guy with very specific likes and dislikes. He deals with a lot of health challenges, including arthritis, and this rug is his happy place. He loves it more than his beds. The only place he wants to be is the room with this rug. We ended up buying 3 of them because whatever brings him joy at this age, we are excited about. Thank you for this rug!!
