For those of us who love our pets, we all know that having an animal in the home means certain adjustments must be made. While the general public can just go out and buy new contemporary wool rugs, as an example, pet owners need to be a little more careful about the stuff they bring into their home. Area rugs must be hard, prime quality, and able to resist friendly, gnawing lab puppies and the open claws of pussies stretching in the sunlight.

And when you have just acquired your pet furniture from Petco, not just any area rug will do. So here are the top three area rugs for pet owners.

Area Rug 1: Braided Rugs. These kinds of area rugs provide numerous benefits for pet owners, and in fact are sold by some of the biggest names in pet suppliers on the market, including Orvis. Braided area rugs are durable, resistant to foot and paw traffic, and easy to wash. In addition, they can be made out of many differing types of materials including blends of cotton and polypropylene, which makes them impervious to mould, stain, sunfading and soil. And as anyone that owns a water dog knows, a mold resistant rug can be a wonderful thing.

Area Rug 2: Derclon Rugs. A synthetic, wool-like fiber that resists both stain and fading, derclon is another popular choice for those who own pets. The fact that derclon area rugs are hypoallergenic makes them perfect for owners of pets who have allergies to their pets, as well as for owners whose pets themselves have allergies – something that occurs more often than you may think! I knew a girl whose boxer was allergic to pet dander, and she swore by derclon, as it was hypoallergenic and straightforward to wash.

Area Rug 3: Water Trapper Rugs. While not exactly area rugs, mats and rugs that trap water could be a pet owner’s best mate. Made out of polypropolene, these rugs grab moisture off boots, shoes and paws, and keeps it out of your home. And because polypropolene drains off and dries quickly, rugs made out of them are good for spring and winter, when it seems like all anyone brings into your house is mud and snow! And one of the best benefits? They can be easily cleaned by hosing them off.
