Extend the life of your rug and protect your flooring beneath it with Mohawk Homes Reversible Pet Friendly Rug Pad. While this style was designed to help keep your rug in place and offer an extra layer of supportive cushion underfoot, it also promises to stop spills and pet accidents from penetrating through your rug to your floor. Without a Pet Friendly Rug Pad in place, accidents can seep through your rug and become trapped underneath, resulting in potentially permanent damage to hardwood and carpet.
