<bot>: The best way to prevent your dog from chewing up your new rug is to make sure it’s properly secured. Make sure there are no loose edges or corners and that you regularly clean up any spills or food crumbs. Additionally, provide plenty of chew toys for your dog so they can satisfy their natural urge to chew without damaging your property.
