Exactly what we needed.
We were trying to keep water spillage away from our wall trim and this works perfect. The high lip keeps water in and we just clean it with a scrubby brush outside once a week when dirt begins to accumulate.

My Dog Is Eating On His Own Again!!!
This is a long review, however, I hope this review will help another pet owner.Our 11-year-old rescued Boston Terrier all of the sudden stopped eating, had to be hand fed. We thought it was just part of aging. He then started tremoring and his teeth were chattering. We took him to the vet a few times to get checked out, vet ran his blood work and gave him a clean bill of health.His condition got worse, started pacing, panting, digging and even soiled his bed. At this time, we thought he may have Canine Cognitive Disorder (CCD) which is similar to Alzheimer in humans and this was Sundowning. We had another dog with CCD in about 10 years ago, and the condition only gets worse over time to the point we were existing on only 1-2 hours of sleep every night. We had considered euthanasia because we knew there was no treatment for CCD and we were only prolonging the inevitable. Before making that final decision, we decided to take our do to a university in our city that had a Veterinarian school for a second opinion. Again, all results came and told us he was in great health, except his teeth. They told us he had several fractured teeth, so highly recommended a dental cleaning and extraction of bad teeth. However, they had a waiting list so couldn't get us in until sometime in the Spring. Not sure why they had such a long waiting list because their prices are similar to what typical vets charge.Armed with this info, we went back to our vet and got a dental appointment same week. The vet ended up pulling one tooth that had caused him such severe pain that even under anesthesia, his teeth would chatter when the vet touched that tooth. She said she's never seen anything like it, it must have been so painful for him. Hindsight being 20/20, this all started to make sense.After his tooth was extracted, he did eat a bit better. However, we noticed that he was still refusing to eat from his food bowl...but he would eat off the floor. So did a bit of research online, found out that he could be associating his food bowl with dental pain. This is when I started to look for a washable silicone mat with a lip to keep food on the mat. Low and behold...it worked!We now place his food directly on the mat and he eats right off from there! As a matter of fact, we noticed our other dogs preferred to eat off the silicone mat as well. Our two seniors eat off the same mat and the other one eat from her own because she tends to overeat and monopolize the food. LOL!I think eating off the mat is also something very different for them, they're just like kids after all, and seems more fun for them to do. We're thrilled, these silicone mats are a lifesaver!!!

Love this!
My cat is a bit strange, I’ll start there. Who’s cat isn’t? But her quirks are mainly in how she eats. She’s free fed so she usually just takes a couple bites of dry food multiple times throughout the day, but she likes pulling the pieces out one at a time dropping them in front of the dish and then eating them off the floor. This obviously has always created a mess of crumbs, but those were easy enough to clean up so we never bothered with a mat. She does it with her nightly wet food too, which is a lower bowl, so that’s not the problem. She just likes eating off the floor for whatever reason.Recently I kept noticing that her water dish would be empty within a few hours of me filling it. So I decided to watch her one day after filling her bowl. We were keeping it on a towel at the time because she’s also a messy drinker. Well she thought it would be fun I guess to yank the towel around and slosh all the water out. I could not describe to you exactly how she did it, but she managed to do it. So we figured it was time for a new game plan.She has not been able to tip her water bowl once with this mat, though she did try a couple times initially. She’s still dunks her paws in the water and splashes around but the mat actually catches the splatters so we don’t have to clean up every time she gets a drink of water. Her food is also contained within the mat. I was sure that she would drag her food pieces off the mat and onto the floor because of the weird silicone texture but she apparently doesn’t mind it. We still have to clean the mat but wow, this thing contains all the mess like you would not believe. Such easy clean up too, often you can just run it under water over the garbage disposal and there goes the mess! Highly recommend if you have a messy eater/drinker like I do. Definitely worth the money.

exactly what I was looking for
I purchased this mat for under my kitchen sink. We recently had our disposal unit start leaking and didn't find it in time to stop some bubbling and warping of the wood base of the kitchen cabinet due to water damage. I priced mats advertised for this use and found them to be at least double the cost of this mat. It will work perfect for the task and is made of the same material.

Nice matt. But was it really necessary to....
Was it really necessary to put your name in huge letters on the matt! Its a shame they do that. It wrecks the look of the matt. I do not care to look at your co name every day. Now with that being said I like the matt. I bought it for my aussie and lab. I use 2 9 inch ceramic bowls and the Mat Tray, 24" x 16" is perfect for them. Lovely dark navy color truly does not slip around. The bowls pretty much stay put and do not slide around either . The matt it self is pretty thin . I would keep puppy teeth or other sharp objects away from it. The corners I am sure will goop up with food but the lip is soft and pliable so it will be easy to clean. If I was to buy a second one I think I will keep it to a lighter color. Everything shows against the dark color.

Great product
Super easy to clean. Just pick it up and rinse off and set to dry. Super durable my cat claws at it all the time and no damages at all. Definitely a thing to have to keep the floor clear

Perfect for a messy drinker
I've had this handy little mat for 2 years and it's been a lifesaver. We had carpet at our last place and my dog is notorious for getting water everywhere when she drinks. The mat is large enough to fit her slow-eating food bowl and a half-gallon water station. She still spills water all the time but it stays on the mat and evaporates. It's held up to hand washing, dishwashers, and moves to different continents. If it ever falls apart I'll gladly buy another one.

Heavy creases do not come out
It comes folded and not rolled which leaves heavy crease that are permanent; does not lay flat.

Makes cat mealtime easy!
Exactly what I was looking for...got a few cats, and until I received this food mat, I was forever changing the newspapers I had on the floor to put their bowls on. Also, our Bengal loved to splash around the water bowl, so the wooden floor was always wet and in danger of getting damaged. This mat has completely alleviated these issues! And it’s big enough for two or three very large bowls. And so easy to clean - just give it a gentle scrub under a running tap, and a bit of a wipe down with paper towel, and presto! All clean. Postage to Australia made it a bit pricey, but it is well worth it.

A must buy
Went for this one as it's a bit bigger and it's perfect! The material is really sturdy, the edges are nice and high so there's no spilliage and you can fit both water and feeding bowels. Highly recommend
