It is the stylish way to make sure that muddy footprints are not trailed through the house. The fun design lets you and your visitors know that there is a four legged friend in residence and also reminds the grown ups that they should be careful that they have not brought mud into the house. This mat will safely grip to the floor and should not move when walked on by pet or owner. You will find it is really absorbent and works very well collecting any debris from muddy paws or shoes. Help prevent muddy paws getting any further! Fully machine washable when necessary.
