No personal experience, as I have all wool rugs (and three dogs) but I found several articles on the web about pet hair and seagrass. This is taken from one at the link below.

"A less expensive choice would be a natural fiber rug, such as sisal, jute or seagrass. The only one we ever use in homes with pets or young families is seagrass. Unlike sisal, which immediately absorbs liquids, seagrass is naturally water repellent, and spills will initially sit on top. We add a sealer such as Sisal-Guard on top, and puddles will bead up and not soak in immediately, allowing the owner a chance to pick up the mess before damage is done. Because of the tight, slick texture of seagrass, pet fur and sand sit on top and are vacuumed right up. Seagrass rugs are inexpensive enough that if and when they do become stained, they are easily replaced. Many of our clients stick with seagrass in family areas and simply replace them every few years. However, they canâÂÂt really be cleaned, so if you have an oily-coated or muddy dog like a labrador, we would recommend wool or nylon."

I have three of the above: dog with short, stiff hair, seagrass (actually, mountain grass) rug, and a Dyson. Same experience with vacuuming the wool rugs, but I just checked and couldn't find any embedded dog hairs on the mountain grass rug.

Thanks for that link. I hope to add my experience too. Need something to throw on our wood floors being installed later this month. It's funny because looking on line at seagrass you wouldn't think it to be a tightly woven product. This is good to know.

Nosoccermom, so you have seagrass rugs? I purchased an iRobot vacuum to help keep the floors clean in between sweepings (of dog hair). I haven't even broken it out of it's box yet because I want to keep it special for the wood floors.

I just looked up my old order.
I have a sea grass rug under my breakfast table, where we eat all our meals. It's held up amazingly, no stains whatsoever. Got it from natural area rugs. It is their Lancaster SEA grass rug. I've recommended Natural Area Rugs before and think others had a good experience with them, too. I'm not affiliated with them in any way.
