The best pet rugs

are nothing you can buy in a pet store. The very best---long lasting, soft, cleanable, -- pet bed rugs are bath mats, the small ones you put around the toilet. But not just any bath mat, and this kind is getting harder to find, but the kind of bath mat you want has fabric, cotton or a cotton blend on the bottom. This bottom is really important because if you get the kind with a rubberized bottom it will get flaky in the wash, and not be fun to touch. I get this straight from the cats--find the kind of bath mat with a cottony reverse side and they will be happy. Really I only am sure you can find them in thrift stores, but even there, observe carefully before you buy.
