We’ve had this rug for a while now and have loved it. It sheds a bit, but nothing too bad. Last week our cat peed on it so we took it in for a professional cleaning and just received it back today. It’s better than ever! They vacuumed it and scrubbed it and it feels so much softer and doesn’t feel like it will shed as much. 
If you’re annoyed by the shedding, take it in for a good cleaning and scrubbing and it should be good. 
Cleaning cost us 80 Canadian and was totally worth it.
