Im more worried about it moving around, I can rinse hair out (my dogs are long hairs).  I may try putting some rug backer on there, its basically a rubber coating, I can put it on in a pattern so the carpet still drains but it would help it stay in place, maybe stripes.

Material is cool in the sun, although being up north we may not get that famous AZ or TX sun.  The matting is fairly durable,  after a few years its actually amazing how well it held up.  No fading,  I've never washed it, and it and it still looks new.  It did move around under foot a bit more than I liked.  Personally, I think snaps are a must.  If you do snaps, I think it woudl be fine with dogs.

FYI, Direct Mat now offers a 1/2" vinyl loop matting carpet that essentially matches the Deckadence thickness, minus the anti-slip matting that's added to the bottom.  

I like that its offered in larger sizes.  Its tough to make the glue joints look perfect.

After having this material, I can honestly say that I would never go back to carpet.  Primary benefit is how fast it dries.  In MN, mornings are cold and its nice being able to walk around the boat in your socks without getting wet.  That being said, its not as comfortable on the knees...according to her...lol
