DogBuddy Waterproof Silicone Dog Food Mat with 0.6-Inch Raised Edge for Spill Control

DogBuddy Dog Food Mat is a waterproof silicone mat for containing pet-bowl spills, with a raised 0.6 in (1.5 cm) edge to help keep food and water off your floor.

• Food-grade silicone free from BPA, PVC and phthalates — a material choice made with pets in mind.
• Certified by UL, a third-party laboratory — adds independent testing to the material details.
• Smooth surface creates stronger contact with bowls — helps reduce sliding during mealtimes.
• Wipe-clean, hand-washable and dishwasher-safe — gives you several ways to clean the mat.
• Rolls up for storage — makes it easier to put away when not in use.
• Useful beyond feeding areas — also works under a sink, by a door, beneath a litter box or for crafts.

Food and water around bowls can leave a mess on the floor. DogBuddy’s mat is made for feeding areas where you want a defined surface beneath pet bowls and equipment, while its waterproof silicone and raised edge help contain spills. It also has uses around the home when a water-resistant surface with an edge is useful.

How does the raised edge help with food and water spills?

The 0.6 in (1.5 cm) raised edge helps keep spilled food and water on the mat rather than on the floor. Silicone is 100% waterproof, so liquid that lands on the mat stays on its surface until you clean it. For a large water spill, place a kitchen towel over the mat to absorb some of the water before carrying it to the sink.

• Raised perimeter helps contain spills within the mat.
• Waterproof silicone keeps liquid from passing through the mat.

Which pets and feeding equipment can use the DogBuddy mat?

DogBuddy made this mat for dogs, cats and other small animals. It can sit beneath food bowls, water fountains and automatic feeders, giving feeding equipment a smooth surface underneath. Its smooth finish provides stronger contact with bowls to help limit movement during use.

• Suitable for feeding setups for dogs, cats and other small pets.
• Use beneath bowls, water fountains or automatic feeders.

How do you clean and store the mat?

Clean the smooth surface with a wet cloth, wash it by hand or place it in a dishwasher. The mat can also be rolled up for storage. Beyond pet feeding, use it under a sink to catch drips, as a boot tray near a door, beneath a litter box to catch scattered litter or as a craft surface to protect a table.

• For heavy water spills, absorb some liquid with a kitchen towel before moving the mat.
• Its additional uses include catching drips, scattered litter and craft mess.

DogBuddy began as a Seattle family business in 2016. The company designs its products from scratch and tests them with its own dogs. This mat suits pet owners who want a waterproof surface for feeding equipment as well as a rollable mat with uses elsewhere at home; its raised edge and silicone construction are made to contain mealtime spills.
