Buying Guide

Choose nonabsorbent, waterproof material

Silicone mats resist water and stains better than fabric so they prevent mold and make daily cleanup easier for pet bowls and spills

Verify heat resistance for hot bowls

Look for heat-resistant silicone so the mat withstands warm water or heated bowls without warping or releasing odors

Match size to your feeding setup

Select a mat dimension that fits under one or multiple bowls—options in the 28x18 to 32x18-inch range give coverage for larger dishes or multiple pets

Prefer BPA-free and eco-friendly tags

BPA-free and eco-friendly materials reduce chemical concerns and are preferable for surfaces that contact pet bowls and feeding areas

Look for textured or raised edges

Raised ridges or textured surfaces help contain spills and keep bowls from sliding, improving usability in feeding stations
