We purchased this item due to we have a big dog and believe it or not,she plays in the house with our cats. The dog is a hunter but knows the cats are part of our family so she treats them that way. When she plays, the carpet goes all over the place and drives us nuts. We have only had the rug gripper a few days and boy what a difference. We started to think the dog loved running and stopping on the carpet to slid with it. Now she just looks down and wonders why the carpet does not move. This gripper I would recommend to anyone with a small carpet. It does what it says it does and it's a lot bigger than we thought. Perfect to keep our carpet where it's at and would say A++++++ product.
