Door mats and dog hair

I have been through 3 door mats already. They seem to attract dog hair like nothing else. Which is good in a sense, but it leaves it looking terrible.

What kind can I buy that won't do this??

I just picked one of those black rubber ones from Target instead of those grainy decorative ones. Will that work you think?

I feel your pain. The rubber one might great because you can just hose it off. I am guessing you got one like this:

I have one that is a brushy coir and it does not attract pet hair at all.

This is the one I have. I got it at a local pet store

I'm at my wits end. I hope it works.

See, I look at that and can just imagine all the hair it attracts. It really doesn't?
Maybe I will look into that one if this new one doesn't work out.

Don't do it. I have one like that that says welcome and it's just a ball of fur. Chat Icon I'm throwing it out as soon as I remember to.

Really? Mine is great. We've had it over a year and it's fine. Not a ball of fur or anything. But, all the dogs who come through my door are shorthaired so that may be why
