Across a dark grey ground, cream line drawings of dogs sit, stand and curl their tails, each one drawn as a simple outline, so the figures overlap into a playful all-over pattern. A tan border frames the design and gives the mat a tidy, finished look. The pile is 100% nylon, set on a foam latex backing, and nylon is the fibre we look for on a mat that takes daily boots and paws. It comes in one size, 50 by 75cm, a practical size for the inside of a front or back door.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe would lay it just inside the door your dog uses most, in a hallway, porch or boot room, where it catches muddy and wet paws before they reach the rest of the house. The maker also suggests it under food bowls, where it keeps spilled food off the floor, so it suits a utility room or the place the bowls sit in the kitchen just as well. The dark grey ground is a sensible choice, because a darker mat shows everyday grubbiness far less than a pale one, while the cream outlines keep it cheerful. It also makes a thoughtful present for a friend who has just brought a puppy home.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor care, the maker's advice is that the mat is machine washable at 30 degrees, so a muddy week can go straight into the washing machine. The maker also tells us it has a natural resistance to stains and keeps its freshness through repeated washes and daily use. The mat is 5mm thick, so before you lay it inside a door that opens inwards, measure the gap beneath the door to be sure the door will swing clear of it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch5\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003ctable class=\"spec_table\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDesign\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOutline Dogs\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eColour\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGrey \u0026amp; Cream\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSize\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e50 x 75cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e100% Nylon pile, foam latex backing\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eThickness\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e5mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCare\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMachine washable at 30°C\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMade In\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUnited Kingdom\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch5\u003eFrequently Asked\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhich way round should I lay the 50 by 75cm mat?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLay the 75cm side across the doorway, so the mat meets the first step anyone takes inside.
