The Superior Hides Difference
Superior Hides® is a family-owned business. Instead of thousands of hides, we hand-select a few hundred at a time from small, independent tanneries in Colombia and Brazil, through relationships that go back more than 30 years.
Because we buy direct, each one is priced fairly from the start: no inflated “original” prices and no misleading markdowns. Just an honest price on a truly superior hide.
Made for Real Life
Kids, pets and everyday spills. A real cowhide rug handles it.
Kid & Pet Friendly

Easy to Clean
Most spills blot right up. Shake it out or vacuum on low.
Allergy-Friendly
No fibers to trap dust or dander, unlike woven area rugs.
Built to Last
A natural cowhide rug wears well for 20+ years with simple care.
The Finishing Piece for Any Room
Under a coffee table, at the foot of a bed or beside a favorite chair. One cowhide rug, and the room comes together.

Yes. Cowhide handles daily foot traffic, paws included, and most spills blot right up. It’s a natural choice for a busy home.
Do they shed or smell?
Do they shed or smell?
A little shedding is normal at first and settles within a few weeks. Shaking it out or vacuuming on low helps. Some hides have a light, natural leather scent when they arrive. Lay it flat in an airy room and it fades within a few days.
How do I clean them?
How do I clean them?
Blot spills right away with a dry cloth, then spot clean with a little mild soap and water if needed. Shake it out or vacuum on low.
