I bought this rug as a replacement for a cream shaggy rug that didn’t do well with the “effects” of a still-in-training puppy and an older dog with GI problems. The design of this rug is more forgiving and will be, hopefully, easier to clean. It was on sale and I’m so happy I bought it, I bought the matching runners for the kitchen to replace the Chilewich ones, as well. 
The cream, shaggy rug is being professionally deep cleaned and put in storage, for now.
