We needed to add an area rug to our kitchen as our three senior labradors were needing additional padding and traction when “keeping me company” while cooking and baking. I was worried that any area rug would detract from our grey tile floors that I love so much. So I was delighted to find that his rug was the perfect complement to our coastal color scheme and also thick enough to offer a soft spot for arthritic dogs to lie down in relative comfort. We did pair it with the Bergen Premium Dual Surface Non-Slip Rug Pad for a winning combination.
