I love these rugs. I have 4 of them. I have hardwood floors and it can be slippery for my dogs, especially the older guys. These are soft, absorb water very well, and are easy to clean. Just throw them into the washer or take them outside and give a good shake. They aren't fancy but when you have a lot of pets, you arent too worried about fancy. They are very practical and have a very cute design on them. So, if you are looking for soft and absorbent, you cannot go wrong with these rugs. One thing to note, they have backing on them that makes them less likely to slide or slip on, but its not a thick rubber so if you are worried about slipping, that may be a slight issue. For me, its one of the main reasons I bought these. We just had our floors redone with vinyl planking and apparently you should not place rubber or latex rugs or mats on them because they react with the flooring and can cause stains. Although there is something anti skid on the rugs, its not a thick rubber or latex so I am hoping they are ok. Oh, and so far they hold up well with multiple washings. I love these rugs.
