Exact Large Silicone Pet Feeding Mat, 39.5″x29.5″ Dog Mat for Food and Water, Waterproof Dog Cat Bowl Mat, Nonslip Dog Food Mats for Floors, Suitable for Small, Medium and Big Pet, Light Gray

Tough Non Slip Mat
I have to say this is a great mat. You can see how large it is with my dogs food bowl and a can of food sitting next to it. There’s still plenty of room so even if you were feeding two dogs or a few cats, this mat would handle extra bowls and fur babies.I love the non slip ribs on the face of the mat so your pets bowl won’t slip around when they are eating. The mat clings nicely to the floor to the point that you can’t even move it with your foot. You have to pick it up and move it where you want it. My dog can be a bit aggressive when he’s down to the last few bites and I’m really happy his bowl stays in place, as does the mat.This 24″x16″ mat washes easily. I put it in the sink and it wipes up quickly. I’ve been using ours for almost a month now and it still appears brand new. I like the lip that borders the mat which also helps keep everything in place but honestly, it’s not needed. There is nothing that is going to slide around on this pet mat.I feel this is a very high quality, durable mat that will last a long time.

Catches ALL spills
This mat is the only thing I have found that actually works. I have two cats who like to splash in thier water. This mat is the perfect size to hold thier dishes. It is thick and plyable and they are not able to slide it or thier dishes eather. They still splash thier water but this mat doesn’t soak it up leaving a soggy mat sitting on the floor. It is easy to clean. I just rinse it off under water and wipe with a rag. I guess you can wash it in the dishwasher but I have not tried it. This mat is a great value and it works so well I recommend it to all dog and cat owners.

Raise edge height on inside is 5/16 inch so can contain water splashed from cat water fountain.
I have a water fountain for my cats – the design has a ceramic bowl bottom and a separate ceramic piece that you needs to place in the right position for the water to flow down the slope into the bowl. Once in a while that top piece gets bumped slightly out of position causing some of the water to go outside the bowl. I’ve come home a few times to a spill of about 3/4 cup of water on the floor. This mat having the raised edge will catch that water so that it isn’t on the kitchen flooring. Win!

Functions well but marks and stains easily.
This is a review for CINEZUN Dog Bowl Mat, 24″x16″ Silicone Dog Food Mats for Floors Waterproof, Placemats for Cat and Dog, Nonslip Pet Feeding Mat with Raised Edge, Prevent Food and Water Overflow, Dishwasher Safe, Beige GrayThis mat is made from food grade silicone. Silicone is naturally BPA free so no worries if your pet lays on or licks the mat.I got the 24×16 mat to protect the top of my washer that’s more of a rectangle than square shape. I needed, at most, 26×19 but so many of the mats available for washers/dryers are 28×28. And I didn’t want to cut the mat and compromise it’s ability to be waterproof.There’s some small raised bars across the surface of the mat to help your dog bowls not suction to the top, but they’re also subtle enough that my detergent bottles and laundry accessories could sit flush on top. Upon opening, I was pleasantly surprised that the mat wasn’t buckled nor had any deep creases. I laid it on a counter and it immediately sat flush to the surface.The raised lip on the edges is a nice feature, you could use this mat underneath a sink and set your cleaning products on top. It won’t save you from a burst pipe but it would definitely work for a small leak or a spilled bottle of cleaner or detergent. And I think the lip, while short, should be plenty to contain splashes from a pet’s water bowl.The mat is on the thinner side but it’s thick enough to not slide around and should protect your floors when used as a pet mat. It rolls up easily so you can easily store it away or fold it to fit into your sink to clean it. The manufacturer says it’s dishwasher safe, I don’t have a dishwasher so I couldn’t test that feature but as the mat is silicone, that’s a safe bet.Silicone naturally attracts more lint and debris than other types of synthetic rubber. Because of this I usually avoid darker colored mats, they’ll show more lint and end up looking dirty most the time. So I ordered the lightest color the manufacturer had, the “beige gray”. While I can’t say it’s pretty, it didn’t show much lint while it was in my laundry room.Now for the bad news! I’ve had a problem with this mat, when trying to wipe it down for a quick cleaning. Water spots and streaks tend to really cling to the surface. I don’t have hard water but the marks won’t wipe away with just a damp cloth or cleaner. It’s like a stain on the surface. I have to literally scrub to get the marks to come off, which is odd and not something I’ve experienced with other mats. I didn’t notice that I had a few drips of detergent that had dried on top of the mat last week, it’s a clear liquid detergent so I didn’t think it would be a problem to clean up. I had to look online to see the best method to remove it, because after I got the detergent washed away you could still see the marks where it had been, like a grease stain. I just couldn’t get the stain removed, even with cleaning products and scrubbing. The trick is vinegar or hydrogen peroxide. The equal parts vinegar and water is what finally removed the spots for me. I had to saturated a cloth and let it soak the area for a few hours though. When I was looking around online for a solution to these weird stains I found that this can be a common problem with low grade silicone. While I don’t expect medical grade quality silicone on a pet mat, I had already thought it wasn’t worth quite as much as they were asking. The addition of the weird staining makes me question the quality of the mat. I imagine this mat, especially in a dark color, will be a nightmare to clean up when using as a pet mat.I’ve sinced moved my mat to a bathroom cabinet, it’s a little small for that purpose but it’s under the sink now and out of sight. I won’t have to worry about seeing any stains or water marks. You just shouldn’t have to work that hard to clean a mat off. And I imagine the mat will easily attract permanent stains if using as a pet mat or placemat.
