Ptlom Waterproof Silicone Dog Feeding Mat, Non-Slip Pet Placemat with Raised Edges, Brown 24.5x16.5 inches

This waterproof silicone dog feeding mat from Ptlom provides a non-slip surface for food and water bowls, helping to keep floors clean. Measuring 24.5 by 16.5 inches, it fits bowls for small, medium, and large pets. The raised edges catch spills, and the paw-print pattern adds a subtle style. It is dishwasher safe for easy cleaning.

What Makes the Ptlom Mat Non-Slip and Spill-Proof?

The mat is made from thick silicone with a high-friction underside. This grip keeps bowls from sliding around during meals. The raised edges—about 0.5 inches high—form a barrier that stops water, kibble, and wet food from spilling onto the floor. The surface is smooth and slightly textured with a paw-print pattern, which also helps trap crumbs.

How to Clean the Silicone Pet Mat

Cleaning is straightforward. You can rinse it under a tap, wipe it with a damp cloth, or put it in the dishwasher. The silicone does not absorb odors or stains. After cleaning, let it air dry or towel it off. The care instructions recommend cleaning after each use and storing it indoors to keep it in good condition.

Dimensions and Weight

Does This Mat Work for Large Dog Bowls?

The mat measures 24.5 inches by 16.5 inches, which provides enough space for two standard bowls side by side. Before buying, measure your bowls to ensure they fit within the mat area. The raised edges are designed to contain spills, but bowls that are very wide may still overhang. For most medium and large breeds, the size works well.

Can I use it for cats?

Will it stay in place on tile or hardwood floors?
