Got a Big, Muddy Dog? 8 Reasons the Dirt Can Stop at the Door

8 Reasons the Dirt Stops at the Door

1. Owners of 100 and 160 pound dogs have written in

   

   You have wondered if a mat can keep up with a dog this size. Fair question.

   Brent has a 160 pound German shepherd, and he wrote in about it. Here is what he said about her feet.

   “Works very well with my 160lb German shepherd. Cleans her feet much better than expected”Brent C., verified buyer

2. There is a size for a big dog’s door, so measure first

   

   Big dogs do not tiptoe across a little mat. Muddy Mat comes in five sizes: Small, Medium, Large, Runner and XL.

   For a big dog, look at Large, Runner and XL first. Measure the spot, and the gap under the door too.

   Muddy Mat is a thick mat. A few owners found it too thick for a low front door and moved it to a back door, a sliding door or a bathroom.

   “I thought i ordered a larger size. Will do soon. We have 3 large German shepherd s!!!”Michele B., verified buyer

3. Big paws carry in a lot of yard. The mud stays down in the mat

   

   A big dog’s four paws can carry in a whole yard’s worth of dirt.

   The pile is a bed of little loops. Mud, grass and sand settle down between them instead of riding along on the next set of paws.

   Your floor gets the clean paws, and the mat gets the dirt. At the end of the day, shake it out outside.

   “Dogs and people come in from outside and it traps whatever is on the paws or feet/shoes. I take it outside shake it amazes me how much gets trapped!”Nancy O., verified buyer

4. Let the big wet one shake off right there on the mat

   

   Big dogs shake off right where they stand. It used to mean your floor.

   Put the mat where he comes in, and the dirt and water get caught right there at the door, where you want them.

   “I have two 70lb dogs and often have flooding in the backyard that they play in... And I just have them trot on in over this rug, do a roll, and invite them in.”Jennifer E., verified buyer

5. It stays put when a big dog walks right over it

   

   Big dogs do not tiptoe in. They come in with all their weight.

   Muddy Mat has a nonslip backing made to stay put at the door. No kicking it back into place after every trip in and out.

   “They dont move around when my dog runs into the house which is a major plus. I dont have to straighten the run every time he runs in or out.”Sharon D., verified buyer

6. More than one big dog? Put a mat at every door they use

   

   Two big dogs coming in means eight paws. Three means twelve.

   Owners put a mat at the back door, the front door, by the water bowl and in the bathroom. One for each door your dog uses is a good place to start.

   That is where the sale helps. Select any 2 mats Medium or larger and get 1 FREE.

   “This mat works! For the dogs and the people…big and small alike! I now have three of these mats.”Dolores C., verified buyer

7. When they have done their worst, it goes in the wash

   

   Big dogs do their worst. Wet, muddy and sandy, all in one trip.

   Shake the mat out outside, then put it in the washer. Muddy Mat is machine washable and dryer safe, like a good bath towel.

   The Runner and XL are a lot of mat, so check the size against your washer first.

   “We bought two a year ago. They are holding up beautifully and wash easily. In fact, we like them so well we ordered another two for a couple other places in the house”Debra S., verified buyer

8. And your big dog will probably claim it

   

   Don’t be surprised when he lies down on it the minute it is in place. Owners write in about that.

   That is fine by us. It is his door too.

   “Like my others this rug has become a lifesaver. Protects my floors while providing a comfy spot for my 100lb Golden Retriever.”Lonnie H., verified buyer
