Dog Door Mat for Muddy Paws, 32 x 20 in Absorbent Chenille Mud Mat, Non-Slip Washable Dog Paw Mat, Quick-Drying Indoor Doormat for Entryway, Grey

This mat has been a total lifesaver at our door! Between my Great Dane Groot's giant paws and my Frenchton puppy Stella tracking in mud from the yard, our entryway used to be a disaster zone. Not anymore. The chenille material is incredibly absorbent — it grabs mud, water, and debris off their paws before it ever makes it onto my floors. Even with Groot's size, the mat holds up great and doesn't slide around thanks to the non-slip backing. It's also quick-drying, so it's not sitting there soggy after a rainy walk. Cleanup is a breeze too — just toss it in the wash and it comes out looking brand new. The grey color hides dirt well between washes, and the size (32 x 20 in) is generous enough to cover multiple paw wipes before dogs step past it. If you've got a dog — big or small, muddy or not — you need this mat at your door. It's saved my floors and my sanity!

I washed the mat first thing upon receiving it and it washed and AIR dried great - no shrinkage or missing any of the top of the mat and the rubber backing did okay in the wash. Just remember to AIR dry it - not put it in the drier. It's not really that big so don't expect a huge mat. I put it outside the back door in a screened in/covered patio so the dogs would walk on it before coming into the house. I haven't noticed them carrying in any dirt or debris on their feet (ah, paws) so it appears to be catching that (including after it rained when I know they were in the dirt/mud). It's soft to walk on so it doesn't hurt their feet and humans could use it, too, with bare feet. I could see someone using this as a mat next to the bathtub/shower. I haven't tried the absorbency yet but again, the girls were outside in the rain and they didn't track in any water so it must have caught the water on their paws. I would recommend this for either use with dogs or humans.
