I️ just purchased a jute rug from Dash and Albert, suggestions for type of pad to put underneath the rug?

Here's a review of the rug link above that was posted on 11/7 - "Dirty and wet! I looked at this rug in the store and liked it a lot, but I needed an 8x10 so I ordered online. Free shipping was offered so that was great, but the surcharge remained--not so great. The rug was also on sale. However, mine arrived yesterday wet under the double plastic wrap and was extremely dirty. Since we're in So. California, we could put it out on the patio in the sunshine to dry out, but label says, "Avoid exposure to moisture" (seriously?!) and "Keep away from direct sunlight." My husband and I shook it out before bringing it in--huge amounts of dirt and dust--and this morning there is so much dirt under the rug on the hardwood floor. I guess I'll have to vacuum under it every day, but this will be difficult since my dining room table and chairs are on it. Also, it is not a "honey" color like the picture online--more like a tan, dirt color. I do not find the rug to be soft and cushy as other reviewers say; rather it is straw-like and stretchy. I won't put the rug pad under it as hardwood floor people say those rubber pads damage the flooring. I love World Market and this is the third area rug I've bought from them--the other two are wool and I LOVE them! This one seems to have been woven in a village hut with a dirt floor and dragged into the nearest town for shipping. Sigh . . ".

We have had our jute rug for several months now and we love it. However, as you probably know it produces a lot of dusty dirt underneath. We are in the process of replacing our laminate floors with Brazilian wood floors. I am very nervous to put the jute rug back down, but it will look amazing with our new dark wood floors. I purchased a felt rug pad to put under the rug. Does anyone know first hand if this is enough to keep the wood floors protected from the rough dirt?

Decide which you like more, dog or rug, and get rid of the other. Life is too short :)
