I'll preface that I live in the Pacific NW, it rains all winter here, and our yard is pretty much mud. This rug is great for absorbing everything my dogs' muddy paws can offer and the large size ensures human feet and animal paws all have enough space to dry off when we come in the door. My trick is to have the dogs come in and then sit on the rug while I give them a treat; this sitting time lets the backs of their legs and their butts get dried off (our dogs have fluffy pants). The dogs also love sleeping on the rug; it's soft and plush. I wasn't crazy about the bone design, as I don't understand why animal home products/decor must have animal-themed prints/designs on them, but I've grown used to it and don't mind it considering the rug does a good job helping to keep my floors clean.
I've owned this rug for a little over a month and only saw it shed a little the first day or two it was down. The shedding only came from the white bone design.
The rug can move around some if your dogs wrestle on it or if you accidentally shuffle into it. The backing is rubbery to kind of help the rug stay in place, but I was legitimately thinking of adhesing or velcroing it to the floor (we have wood floors that need to be refinished). The rug is heavy though, so it's own weight does help keep the rug mostly in place.
I've shaken the rug outside to clean off any debris and amazingly that works really well. I have not tried vacuuming it, but have not found a need as the shaking off works so well. I've owned many rugs that had to be vacuumed or washed to get cleaned off, and this is not one of them. I even have the dark brown color and there isn't any leftover debris/dog hair/etc. that sticks to make the rug look bad.
I do believe that washing is necessary though to clean out the absorbing fibers. After a month of use, I'm finding the absorbency has gone down and when my dogs step off the rug there are wet footprints being left on the floor, which had previously been taken care of by the rug.
I'll report back once I've washed it to update how it holds up in the wash.
UPDATE: The rug has been washed many times without further shedding or general deterioration. The white bone pattern is now kind of speckled dalmation style as the white fibers and brown fibers have intermingled with wear and washing. I still like the rug and don't feel it detracts. The rug does not seem to absorb as well as it did with its first use. It is still absorbent, but I do need to wash more frequently now to get the fibers cleaned and regain that absorbency again. Initially I got away with not washing for a month, and now weekly or bi-weekly washings would be better.

Think, soft and gets some dirt off
I placed this in the entrance from where my pup enters the house with most moisture and mud.PROS:1. Great material - It's think and soft, my pup loves it2. Paw cleaning - I am able to get some dirt and moisture off of his paws (even though not completely)3. Easy to wash - Gets messy but easy to cleanNOTE: If your puppy is in teething phase, be mindful that he/she is going to chew on it.
