Rugs and young puppies

When it comes to getting a new pet it’s important to be aware of the additional maintenance your rugs need. The smaller or younger the dog there more it’s likely to accidentally pee on your rugs. Pets also shed a good amount of fur and dander.

It’s important to put a rubber under-pad beneath your rug and the floor. This protects the floor and can help keep your rug in place as well. Hardwood floors will absorb liquids and marble floors can be discoloured because of the acidity of puppy pee. Porcelain or ceramic tiles are resistant to damage and are fine to have under the rug.

It’s important to select a rug that is easy to maintain. Darker tones are suggested for rugs because any stains that occur won’t be as noticeable. Synthetic rugs are also suggested because their rug pile doesn’t readily absorb liquids and are easier to clean.

Short pile rugs are a good investment because fur doesn’t tangle into the fibers as much. The short rug pile makes it easier to vacuum and remove fur and pet dander. It’s also important to have your rugs cleaned professionally once a year.
