Many of you already know and love our gentle giant, but for those who don’t, allow me to introduce you to Watson, our handsome Rhodesian Ridgeback. He’s 100 pounds of pure sweetness.
I mean, seriously. Just look at that face. He’s a heartbreaker, isn’t he? And he knows full well that the furniture is off limits, but I’m pretty sure he sneaks onto our sofa when we’re not home. He’s a smart one, but he still hasn’t figured out how to re-fluff the throw pillows after he’s been napping on them.
What a stinker. It’s a good thing he’s cute.
For Watson, the next best thing to napping on the sofa is napping on our new, luxuriously plush pet-friendly carpet from The Home Depot. It’s from the PetProof line and it is glorious. We ordered a 10′ x 14′ bound rug in the Sawyer pattern and the color Deserted Castle. Even though it’s a light-colored rug, I’m not worried because the PetProof line is nothing short of revolutionary.
Features of the PetProof Carpet:
- Lifetime stain and soil protection; 25-year abrasive wear and texture retention warranties
- 0% moisture absorption to reduce pet odors in the carpet fiber
- Nanoloc™ Spill Shield technology gives intrinsic soil resistance with 100% permanent, built-in stain protection that will never wash or wear off
- 3x easier to clean dirt, hair, and pet dander
- Warranted against UV fading
The Home Depot offers:
- All-inclusive carpet installation (obviously we didn’t use this service for our bound carpet)
- Custom size
- Memory foam and non-skid rug pad attached
Did you know that you can order any wall-to-wall carpet from The Home Depot as a bound rug?! That means you can get any size you want! We ordered a 10′ x 14′ bound carpet and opted to have the non-skid rug pad built in – no need for a separate rug pad that will shift and bunch underneath!
I know.

But you had me at “PetProof.” This pet-friendly carpet is perfect for families with kids and pets. My kids actually do more damage than Watson does. #justsaying
Kids have opposable thumbs, after all. That means they can handle markers and popsicles and everything sticky.
We have yet to test out the innovative stain resistant feature, but give us a day or two – I’m pretty sure one of these tiny humans will spill something sooner or later. I’ll keep you posted.
This pet-friendly carpet isn’t only beautiful, but it’s super soft underfoot too. There are a lot of patterns, textures, and colors to choose from as well. We ultimately chose the Sawyer pattern, but the Scarlet was also a favorite. I love that the diamond pattern adds a bit of texture and interest to an otherwise plain rug.
I think Watson is pretty pleased with our new pet-friendly rug. As soon as we laid it down, he made himself right at home. He looks so comfy – maybe this means he’ll stay off my sofa.
Maybe.

I love that it is bound at the edges. Wonderful touch. Thanks for sharing.

What a beautiful rug! I definitely need to look into these rugs! Thanks!
Andrea says
I had no idea that you could get their carpets as a custom size rug. That’s awesome!
Rosebud says
You can get any carpet bound and then you can have a rug cleaning service pick it up, clean it and bring it all fresh. No worry about it being wet or damp and your wood furniture sucking up damp, or your metal legs rusting. It’s terrific. You use the same folks that do Persian or antique rugs. They can do a much better job than any rug person at your house.
Just before you buy carpet have then come and tell you if they can clean the size — take a sample to them is best. They usually can do pure wool to polyester. I love pure wool rugs because they will be around for generations.

It looks so nice, love the texture.
THERESA says
Had I known I would have opted for
such a carpet. My daughter and her dog
Gizmo visit quite often… love the texture.
Thanks for sharing…!¡!
Wendy says
What do you use to clean this rug?
Jen says
Hi Wendy,
We just spot-clean it with a damp rag! Hope that helps!

I forgot to say – just love Watson. I had a Ginger like him. Wonderful breed of dog. Never knew how guarding she was until someone came in my house unannounced and unwanted. I thought she was a big baby. In fact we use to laugh — if you just walked in – she hardly looked up. But if someone knocked – it was like “Woof Mom someone’s here”. We said we have to put sign on the door to burglars – please knock.
I loved her wrinkles between her eyes — Watson has them too.

I was looking at Pinterest for durable carpet for large dogs.
Up popped a Rhodesian Ridgeback. My girl Fiona, a 2 yr old Ridgie approves of the carpet.
Have a great day.
