They’re just being a dog. Or a curious kitten.

Common Rug Damage Caused by Pets
We see this every day in our workshop:
- 🐶 Dog Chewed Corner – The most common form. Dogs rip fibers, tear borders, and destroy knots.
- 🐱 Cat Scratched Fringe – Claws pull out fringe thread-by-thread, often causing unraveling.
- 🐾 Urine or Feces Soiling – Soaks deep into foundation; causes color bleed, odor, and bacteria growth.
- 🐕 Dragging Toys/Food on Rugs – Oils, dyes, and moisture get trapped in pile.
- 🐈 Hairball Stains or Vomit – Acidic and protein-based; causes discoloration.
Why You Shouldn’t Use a Regular Cleaner or DIY
Most rug cleaners and DIYers will:
- Steam clean (bad) — sets the stain and damages dyes
- Use harsh soaps or pet stain sprays — strips color and ruins wool/silk
- Over-saturate the rug — leading to mildew or distortion
- Vacuum or scrub too hard — frays the pile or fringe
We’ve seen DIY “fixes” that made the original damage 10x worse.
