I have a Bernese Mountain Dog and thus tons of pet hair to contend with.  I put this rug in my family room in a high traffic area, on the way to the dog's exit door.  It holds up great!  It's easy to clean off muddy paw prints and the pet hair doesn't get into the rug's fibers as it would on a longer pile rug.  It's also attractive and blends effortlessly with my decor.  My only concern at this point is that the folds from being rolled up have yet to disappear.  I'm hoping that over time and with more use, those will be gone. 

Pros: Great value, durable and attractive
Cons: roll marks
