Our new puppy has a thing against rugs, so he decided he needed to take care of the ones we had. We'd been living without rugs because we didn't want to spend more money on something he was going to destroy, but with it being the middle of winter in Wisconsin, not having rugs at doorways was turning out to NOT be an option. The snowy/sandy/dirty/slushy grit and grime was getting out of control. Then, I found these rugs and thought I'd give them a try. I bought two of these for interior use --one for the garage entry to the house and one for the patio entry to the house. They are awesome!!!! Excellent quality, non-slip, nice-looking, great price, great color! They trap all the sandy/snowy/slushy grit, and they're puppy-proof!
