Yes, You CAN Own a Vintage Rug with Pets!

It’s an investment piece and you don’t want it to get ruined- we get it. Life happens and you know that, you just don’t want it to happen on your [new-to-you] vintage rug. But fear not! You CAN have your furry friends and style your rugs, too. Below are 5 no-fail reasons from our very own founder, Brittany Chinaglia (psst she has 3 frenchies!), why your pup shouldn’t stop you from grounding your home in vintage charm.

So let’s get right into it, here are 5 reasons why you most definitely can own a vintage rug with dogs!

1. NATURAL MATERIALS MAKE CLEANUP EASY

Woolen vintage rugs resist stains and rebound gracefully from dog paws, proving they're not just pretty—they're actually practical and are easier to clean than rugs made of synthetic materials. All you need is a little mild detergent and water to spot clean! Check out our favorite easy-clean gadget here for effortless pet clean up. 

2. ECO-FRIENDLY FOR YOU & YOUR PUP

Speaking of synthetic, we don’t believe in it. Modern day rug companies that tout machine washable rugs are just another cog in the fast fashion industry as they market “easy clean” features but often end up in landfills. On the other hand, vintage rugs are a sustainable choice that are kind to your pup & the planet as they are far less often disposed of. Vintage rugs last centuries due to their impeccable craftsmanship and quality materials.

3. VINTAGE STANDS THE TEST OF TIME

Vintage rugs have already weathered decades, if not centuries. Your pup's playful antics? Just another chapter in its rich history. Bonus points if you draft up a letter about Fido to the grandkids since your vintage rug is already a living heirloom.

4. PATTERNS THAT CONCEAL

Dog hair? Minor stains? The intricate designs inherently present in vintage rugs make upkeep breezy, blending any temporary imperfections into their elaborate patterns.

5. YOUR DOG WILL THANK YOU

Your dog will enjoy the stability of a vintage rug just as much as you enjoy its aesthetic appeal. Watch as your rug becomes your dog's favorite nap spot, offering warmth and plushness under-paw.
