I'm envisioning stripes and fur balls

I am in desperate (desperate!) need of a rug in our living area. I recently tossed our last rug because it as cheap, ugly, and a really icky green color that was starting to yellow. The trouble with rug shopping is that I know anything I end up purchasing will become my dogs favorite place to sleep, roll around on, and probably (if past experience tells me anything) become a preferred vomit spot as well. What does this mean for me?
2 things:
1)Whatever rug we purchase better be cheap because I'll need to replace it sooner than most.
2) A pattern is a must to help camouflage dirty doggie stuff.
My solution? Black and white stripes because Ikea sells an option or two in this pattern AND it's fairly popular so if Ikea doesn't have it, it should be easy to find.
Here's my inspiration:

This is Ally's house featured on Design Sponge recently and I'm pretty sure that's the Ikea rug I'm looking for...
Does anyone else's rug purchases revolve around their furry beasts? Any suggestions?
