Shaggy rug Pet-friendly alternative to a shaggy rug for room acoustics?

I'm like the puppy every 2 hours I gotta go😃.enjoy the shag ,carpet pad and get a blue light and waterbed.maybe a disco ball.that will keep the relatives away.

It's an older rescue dog with a history of abuse. He spent most of his life confined to a cage and became accustomed to relieving himself wherever he could. We're still working on the issue, but for the time being I need a practical floor-covering solution for the listening room.

Ideally, I'm looking for something washable, lightweight, and, if possible, non-absorbent. The size I need is approximately 8 ft × 8 ft.

I have an idea.

The carpet I currently use weighs about 40 lbs and is quite rigid, so removing it after each listening session is a real hassle.

What I’m looking for instead is a soft, sound-absorbing blanket that I can easily lay down during listening and then remove and store afterward.

Ideally something professional or studio-grade that others here might recommend for this kind of temporary acoustic treatment. Maybe a wool blanket ?

Has anyone tried something like this successfully in a listening room?

simple. Audio room is a pet-exclusion zone.

These are all relatively thick-pile washable rugs.

Besides pile height you want density, which is why a thick, cut-pile rug with a felt pad is considered a good choice. Wool fibers absorb sound better than synthetic but obviously are not as easy to clean.
