Cavalier Pets, Dog Bowl Mat for Cat and Dog Bowls, Silicone Non-Slip Absorbent Waterproof Dog Food Mat, Easy to Clean, Unique Paw Design

Extremely pleased with this purchase. We bought one large enough (the XXL) for our GSD, who is beginning to show mobility issues, to stand on with her food bowls. This mat helps her keep her balance, and prevents her from sliding. She is not a messy eater or a sloppy drinker, but the few messes we've had were easy to clean. Good value for the size and durability. We also like the design.

We have a 1 gallon water feeder for my 3 older dogs, and now they share this with their new sister German Shepherd puppy. She is just as sloppy a water drinker as a St Bernard we used to have. I put the unscented disposable puppy pads under it to catch the drippings. It worked great until the puppy started dragging the pad and knocking over the feeder. What a mess.I needed something to prevent my kitchen floor from feeling like I was walking through a wet gym locker room. I ordered this in the medium. As you can see in the picture,there is plenty of room for 2 one gallon feeders or 2 large bowls to be side by side. Dorie has already taken several drinks, and it has caught the majority of the mess. Can't get all of it because she does leave a little trail as she runs off, but most of the splashes are around the bowl.Great price. Free 2 day shipping with Prime. And real 2 day because I got it 2 days after I ordered it and not 2 days after the 3rd party seller gets around to shipping it. I highly recommend this for a water and/or food mat. If you have an older dog who has trouble standing and sliding on a smooth floor, you may want to get the biggest one so he can stand on it while eating/drinking.

I’ve been fighting the ‘excess drippage’ from my St Bernard for years. Beautiful hardwood floors look like they went through a flood even with all of the various contraptions I’ve tried to catch all of her...mess.Fast forward and my synapses stopped firing one day when I said to myself hey, just get a smaller dog to fit under the big dogs head and it all just drops on them instead. (Not really but we did and that’s how it worked for a while). However, in my daydream I got a Scottish terror, I mean terrier. Beautiful girl that grew gorgeous locks that held more water than the St Bernard! My poor floors...Then random scrolling one day and I found this mat and said yea ok, but...I’ll try it. Holy Moly color me surprised (and the crazy dog lady because they multiply like gremlins after midnight). Two Scottie’s and a goldendoodle later, I have a mat that catches most of the water. My floors are protected! Already ruined but that’s beside the point.There is no ‘lip’ on the mat so when you go to pick it up be careful or you’ll just dump it back on the floors you’re trying to protect but for the first time in 8 years and 9 different dishes, mats, towels, etc...I have dry floors. It’s large enough that if you put the water or food in the corner they still have a couple steps to drip before they’re off the mat.

I haven't had the mat for very long but it seems to do the job. I got it for the water bowl and so far has kept the 'slop' from the Great Dane contained. So far very happy with this product.

I bought this 4 months ago. Right after the purchase, I received an email from Seller warning me to clean up any spilt liquids because this may had no lipped edge and liquids roll off and had a potential to crate mold under the mat.Interesting.. I've never had a Seller contact me after the sale to warn me of hazards related to the product, but OK. Better forwarned than regretful.I'm giving this product the lowest rating because a scant four months later, the mat has unraveled to the point of uselessness. It appears to be made using curly-Qs of a plyable plastic. At issue is that these "fibers" are not afixed to a solid backing. Now unraveled to the point where other mats would have the backing show, I now see holes.I spent almost twice as much for this pet mat because of the color and the paw prints in the corners. This yells me that the product designer knew its customer. I wish the she/he spent as much time on the function of the mat as they did on its form.👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎

I got this mat for two reasons 1. I like to keep my dogs faces long, so when they're drinking water it drips everywhere! With this mat, it catches and keeps all of the dropped water and doesn't fall onto the floor (dries quickly).2. My dogs like to take their food and eat it on the floor ( i hate that), they now put it on the mat and eat off of their. Its bigger than you think, i got two large bowls on a stand and there is more than enough space for them to stand on it.

Easy to clean. You can vacuum or shake out. I have one and bought one for my mom. The 36” for large hooded litter box for extra room in front for cat to track litter or in case of accidents. Keeps floors safe from messes. Our cat tracks litter and literally the litter stops at the end of the mat. It has small loops in the makeup of my mat to catch litter, cat food cat water on the edge of the mat because our cat is such a messy eater. Easy to sweep the excess food up with a hand held broom and pan and just toss. Litter won’t get in the food or water. It sticks in my mat. I’ll have to ask my mom if she has the same loops, but it should be the same because this was where I ordered my mat from. Lifesaver for wood floors or laminate floors or new flooring or if you have an older cat if you use the larger size for a litter box. The smaller size as a food mat is great, too!!!

My little shoe thief became sick about three weeks ago. Ataxia with no discernible cause. As such, her coordination was terrible, and she suffered from severe intentional tremors whichever it very difficult to stand on the laminate floors and reach her food. I purchased an elevated and slanted food bowl and I got this mat so she could stabilize herself better. I arranged it sideways like the others who graciously posted photos did, and I have to admit it’s made a big difference. She’s more confident going to her food bowl and eating. Small but decent color options, the mat itself feels like AstroTurf. Heavier than expected but lies flat except at the tiniest edge of one corner. Took only one day for the dogs to feel comfortable standing on it, and it suits my needs perfectly.
