As someone with a large dog in a small apartment, this artificial grass rug has been a lifesaver. The 3x5ft size gives my golden retriever enough space to do his business comfortably - no more awkward half-on-half-off moments like with smaller mats.

The drainage holes WORK. When I hose it down on my balcony (which takes 2 minutes), water flows straight through like magic. The rubber backing keeps it from sliding around, yet it's light enough that I can easily drag it to the shower for deeper cleaning when needed.

What surprised me most was how soft the blades are - my dog actually chooses to nap on it sometimes! The 3cm height makes it look surprisingly real from a distance (though up close you can tell it's artificial). Pro tip: Buy the 2-pack like I did. While one's drying in the sun after cleaning, you've got a fresh one ready to go.

After 3 months of daily use, no fading or flattening yet. It does collect some leaves/debris when used outdoors, but a quick shake solves that. For apartment dogs or anyone wanting low-maintenance greenery, this delivers way beyond its price point.
