What is the best rug material to use with pets?
Can you answer redd's question about rugs?:
I have a medium sized dog that sheds quite a lot and need to buy a new rug for my living room. I am considering sisal but wondered if the pet hair will get caught in the weave making it harder to remove than 'normal' rugs Any recommendations?

just use newspaper…like in the olden days..
put just a clear plastic bag over the rug. Then once there is alot of hair on it throw the bag away and put a new one.
Any short pile, thick carpet will be easier to remove dog hair. Woven rugs get the hair woven in them also, sculpted ones tend to hold more hair in the low spots, and looped ones catch toenails & then get frayed.
Just make sure it's something your dog won't chew up. You wouldn't want anyone to call your dog a "carpet muncher."
