UPDATE 4/18/19UNBELIEVABLE !!!!!!!!!! Over the past year and almost a half, I have been dealing with health issues that have kept me from being able to do anything.My husband has really carried the load. I am thankful to say that I am now back on my feet. What in the world does this have to do with my Soggy Doggy’s you ask. Well, no matter how many times I told him, my husband washed our Soggy Doggy’s on heavy duty & dried them on high heat?. One Soggy Doggy is showing a few signs of wear from that treatment. The ‘wear’ I am talking about is that it has faded more.Now, I don’t know about you, but a product that holds up to the worst abuse you can throw at it is worth its weight in gold. Unfortunately for the makers of Soggy Doggy, I have proven that they last years. I have a small one in the camper that still looks brand new.If you break down what Soggy Doggy’s cost against how long they last, they are a bargain. I have gone through so many area & throw rugs in the almost five years since I purchased my Soggy Doggy’s.Do yourself a favor, BUY A SOGGY DOGGY! Not only will you not be disappointed, but the darn thing lasts forever.UPDATE 12/2017 100 STARS ⭐️Like many others, we flooded due to Harvey. We got three feet of water in our house. Because we flooded from the river we also had a current that worked like a blender inside with our possessions. With the heat, the gooey residue from the flood water mixed with our furnishings created a stinky, toxic slurry. At the bottom of this were my two Soggy Doggy’s. To clean flood items you must use bleach & hot water. You need to either soak or wash items as thick as a Soggy Doggy twice. Now, this goes against everything that the manufacturer says to do, but I wanted to save my Soggy Doggy’s.I did not get around to washing them for a couple weeks. They were in a heap in the front yard.After two heavy duty cycles, with hot water and lots of bleach my Soggy Doggy’s are slightly faded. Other than that, you would never know the condition they had been in.To me, the best thing was when I brought the clean Soggy Doggy’s into the camper - my Babies immediately sat, laid and rolled on them!!! Too often, the stress on animals is overlooked, there is too much that needs done and it all needs done yesterday.For them to get ‘their’ Soggy Doggy’s back after the horrible shape they were in, I would pay any price!I like to read reviews before purchasing an item, but very seldom write one (shame on me). This product is so overwhelmingly good I have to write this review. To address some reviews I have read: too expensive. It is expensive, but given the amount of material in each one they are actually reasonably priced. too bulky to open a door over: very true. wonderful under a dog door, I actually placed a low mat in front of one door for the door to open over before getting to the soggy doggy, problem solved. came apart when washed: I have 4 soggy doggies, 2 xl, 1 doormat, 1 shammy. I have washed all of them multiple times with no problem. I have a newish Cabrio top loading washer & use it on bulky setting. Dryer is also newish Cabrio, I am able to dry it on low heat, it takes approx 45 min for the xl to dry. Many places, including Amazon sell 'rug backing', one is a thick liquid that can be brushed on, allow to dry 24 hrs, start using again. While I would prefer Soggy Doggy to come with a better backing, it is well worth applying your own. I have a pyr, a grt dane, a lab, & 2 med size dogs that use a dog door. I found it almost impossible to get them to wait long enough before moving off the soggy doggy for their feet to get dry enough, so I purchased a second one & solved the problem. As others have stated, it not only dries their feet, it also collects tree leaves, grass clippings... I am going to purchase another one to use in our camper. I cannot recommend this product enough.Update 7/30/14I wash my 60" doormat soggy doggies bi-weekly. One, one week, the other the next week... These have held up beyond expectations!! I don't think they have faded at all, even the bone design still looks white-cream. I pre-wash them once or twice depending on the amount of dirt. I am even more amazed now than I was. My dogs destroy throw rugs running in & out, the soggy doggies just keep going!!!
