FurHaven Muddy Paws Towel & Shammy Dog Mat

Be careful of what color you choose. I thought I was getting a traditional dark gray color like the bottom color. The top color is what I got in “charcoal gray”. It appears to be a slight purple color in person. Definitely doesn’t go with the colors in this room as I had wanted.

This is the rug I've been looking for. I'd originally purchased something similar (more expensive). Liked it so much I picked up another but the 2nd one had the rubber backing which does not hold up. Whether you air dry it or run it thru the dryer. I hate rubber backed rugs, they are pretty worthless. The nice thing about this is that it doesn't slide on the wood floors, it's stable and does exactly what the intention is. To help to clean your dogs feet! I also appreciate the different sizes. I have one at the front door, one at the back door and will be purchasing a 3rd for the bus. Thank you!

It’s true that if you use this as a doormat, it may not fit under your door when it’s opened. And it won’t stay in place on slippery floors, especially if you have an over grown puppy, like mine, who likes to tear through the house after her toys. But honestly, none of the rugs in my house stay put when she’s playing. Even if it doesn’t work out as a doormat, I’m still glad I purchased this item, because I can still use it in the winter when she comes in with balls of ice and snow stuck to her feet, legs, chest, and belly. I will have her lay on it while everything melts and is absorbed into the shammy.

She fits on it perfectly. I am currently using it as a doormat, but I’ve pulled it back from the door about a foot so that I can open the door without it bunching up. We will see how it goes. Plus my floors get cold and the mat is soft and warm on my bare feet! :) … more

Have been using this as a bathroom rug outside the bathtub for almost 2 months now. I have washed it on the gentle cycle and in the dryer on low heat. No damage so far. Has held up and is still perfectly absorbent. Only complaint is that there is no anti-slip material on the bottom. It does slide around a bit, especially when taking wiggly dogs out of the bath. I purchased my own rubber pad to go under it and haven’t had any issues since.

My two 50 pound dogs love this. One likes to lay on it, sometimes calmly, other times rolls around on his back on it. The other one likes to rumple it up first...and that's where trouble sets in. The backing is absolutely NOT gripping or non-skid, it really is a towel or a very soft bathmat. So when my boy rumples it up, the microfiber 'fingers' pull right out of the backing, in long strings, like a cheap Berber carpet. I'm not sure how long it will last; probably not very. It's not very durable, unless your dog is very gentle. Incredibly gentle. So if you're looking for an after-bath towel, this is good. If you're looking for a good bedding towel or blanket, this is good. My two 50 pound dogs love this. One likes to lay on it, sometimes calmly, other times rolls around on his back on it.

I received my first one, a runner, and loved it. I had ordered two jumbo plus rugs, and was excited to have them protect my floors, from wet doggy paws, but when I received them, I was so dissapointed! With the first, I could tell that the packaging had been heated, to seal it. Unfortunately, the packaging had melted, and was stuck to the rug. It would not come off. Then I opened the second one. It was worse than the first one. I'll need to return both and hope that the replacement rugs don't have the same problem. (Now I have to figure out how to pack them, to send them back. Obviously, I can't use the original packaging).

I bought this mat to place in front of the dog door in the house. I’ve noticed a big difference in the amount of dirty paw prints being tracked into the house! They love laying on it too! It’s easy to wash and is holding up well.

Why didn’t I buy this before now?? This mat is awesome! I’m no longer cleaning my floors constantly! I bought two more... one for the side door and one to use if another is in the wash! I love it!

I bought the large mat last year and just bought two more! Our lab loves to lay on these and we love them because they do really stop a ton of dirt and sand from getting drug into the house. And the amount of hair they collect is crazy. They also wash very well.

My dog absolutely loves this rug! Every time he comes in the house from outside he goes right to the rug. No more dog prints all over the floor. Perfect investment right before winter snow
