Jute rugs are durable but are not entirely scratchproof. If you have a dog that loves to dig, then you may find that your rug does not last as long as it would with a less enthusiastic dog. Jute rugs are also easy to clean but tend to easily show liquid stains, such as urine. Such rugs can be vacuumed regularly and are easy to wash; however, stains need to be treated quickly to stop them from becoming ingrained. Natural fibers, like jute, are also favored by dogs over human-made fibers. So, a jute rug is more likely to attract your dog and provide them with a comfortable place to lay.\r
