Which is better for a home with pets?

The Gaomon. It is listed as pet friendly, machine washable and non-slip, which helps on hardwood and tile. The IDEALHOUSE is washable but lists no non-slip backing.

Is the IDEALHOUSE worth the extra $7?

Only if you want a snowflake design or a US-made rug. The Gaomon matches it on size, material type and washability and adds non-slip and fade resistance for less.

Neither maker publishes a wear rating. The Gaomon's wool-synthetic blend and fade resistance suggest better durability in sunlit, high-traffic spots, but treat both as seasonal rugs.

Will either work on a patio?

The Gaomon lists patio use, but both are polyester-based and washable, so bring them in during rain. Neither is sold as an outdoor rug.

Yes. The IDEALHOUSE is listed as 4' x 6'. The Gaomon is titled 4x6 but its spec sheet also lists 6' x 9', so confirm the size on the listing before you buy.
