My dog chewed the carpeting in an area of about 3x4" but did not go through the backing. Is there a way to repair this? Somewhere on TV I saw someone cut a hole in the capret and use some magic glue of some sort to attach a scrap piece to the back of the carpet to fill the whole. Anyone know what this might be and step by step directions??

I've been in the carpet cleaning business for over 10 years. We run across this kind of problem from time to time. The easiest way to repair this kind of damage is to patch in a piece of the same carpet from a closet in the same room.

If you e-mail me privately, I can give you step by step directions. They would be too long for this forum.

Hi!
I think Ted's suggestion is the best way to go with patching the "dog chewed" area!
