It seems to be a big trend right now; animal doorstops are cute, weighty and brimming with character. They are a great fit for living rooms and bedrooms and there are so many to choose between nowadays, no matter what animal you had in mind. Door stops used to be boring pieces of plastic, but now it’s all about soft animal doorstops. These tend to be filled with polyester and sand, whilst the outside is a relatively soft material like wool or cotton. They are strong enough to hold the largest of doors but they’re not usually strong enough to keep humans or animals out of a room. The soft material ensures your doors remain scratch free and it would take some force to break the material, so don’t worry about sand leaking out of the animal door stop in the future, it’s highly unlikely that will happen!
