Silicone mat for bowls

The edges are higher than on our old mat, so kibble doesn't scatter onto the tiles.

Mikki, my Persian, has a habit of batting bits of wet food out of her bowl with one paw before she'll actually eat. For months that meant chunks scattered across the kitchen tile. Since switching to this mat, whatever she flicks out just lands on the raised lip instead of the floor, and I wipe it up in seconds.

My cat Lily is older now and eats slowly, dropping bits of wet food as she goes, so I wanted something safe underneath her bowls for the long term rather than a random plastic tray. A month in, there's still no odor building up, it wipes clean in seconds, and the bowls haven't shifted once. Happy with the purchase overall.

The material is thicker than I expected, and the corners don't curl up after several days.

Our Great Dane treats every meal like a full-contact sport, and our light laminate used to pay the price - mush everywhere within minutes. This Fernpaw mat has held up surprisingly well against him; the edges stay put no matter how much he bumps the bowl around. Cleanup is just a wipe and a quick rinse, and I don't have to inspect the floor before letting the kids run around in socks.

The kitten spills milk, but the mat doesn't let the liquid seep through; the countertop stays clean.

At first I thought it would be too big, but it turned out to be the perfect size for my cat's food and water bowls.

Excellent mat for the price. Much better quality than what they sell in supermarkets for the same amount of money.

I placed two bowls on it for my dachshund; there's plenty of room and nothing slides around.

Soft yet dense material. It doesn't warp under the weight of a heavy stainless steel water bowl.

The dense backing doesn't crinkle when the cat comes up to drink water at night.

Our dog likes to grab a treat and wander off with it, dropping crumbs along the way. Most of what he drops now lands somewhere on the mat rather than the hallway floor, which makes vacuuming way less frequent.

Bought it to try out on an outdoor terrace. Rain isn't an issue, and water doesn't seep through. Completely satisfied with my purchase.

The mat is soft silicone, so the cat isn't startled when stepping on it. Too bad crumbs are so visible on the cream color.

Color is exactly as pictured, a nice warm chocolate. In person, it looks expensive and doesn't get stained by wet food.

The raised edge even held mushy food that our dog pushes out of the bowl with her nose.

Material safety was my main concern when shopping for this, since my pet chews on pretty much anything nearby. In hand it feels much sturdier and more premium than I expected for the price.

My puppy has taken to licking the edge of this mat for some reason, so I'm glad I did some research on it before buying rather than grabbing whatever was cheapest. There was a faint new-product smell on day one, but it aired out quickly and hasn't come back.

The silicone feels nice to the touch and didn't smell like chemicals at all, even right out of the package.

The material is dense and doesn't smell like rubber like cheap AliExpress knockoffs. It unrolls completely flat without any creases.

It survived the dishwasher fine; the shape didn't change, and the color remained as calm as before.

We checked the size beforehand; the stand with two bowls fit with plenty of room to spare around the edges.

I expected it to be paper-thin, but it's actually thick and bouncy. The bowls sit perfectly in place.

Awesome thing. The silicone is flexible but holds its shape. The dog can't chew it up like plastic.

After washing, the mat dried quickly on the drying rack; by morning, I had it back under the bowls.

It doesn't slide on tile, and our dachshund no longer pushes the bowl around with his nose. But fur sticks to the edge.

The mat is waterproof, and the laminate underneath stayed dry even after a bowl was knocked over. One downside: wet marks on the surface are noticeable until you wipe them off.

We put two cat bowls on it, and there is enough room. The only downside is that I would have liked a little more extra space for a wide water bowl.

Bruno, my pug, is a notoriously sloppy drinker - half of every gulp ends up on the floor around him. I used to keep a towel nearby just for that spot. With this mat, I don't bother wiping constantly anymore; I just tip the accumulated water off the raised edge into the sink every so often. The silicone itself feels substantial, not like it'll crack or curl with age. Do measure your bowl footprint first though, mine barely cleared it.

The mat didn't warp after the dishwasher, and no smell appeared. It only just fits in the top rack.

My cat is getting older and has gotten clumsier around her water bowl lately, more spills than there used to be. Since this went under her dish, I haven't had to worry about the laminate swelling from standing water. Recommended.

It washes really well with warm water and soap. The silicone is soft, so the cat isn't scared when she steps on it.

The mat is flexible but not thin, and it doesn't bunch up under a heavy bowl.

The mat doesn't soak through, tested after the cat knocked over a bowl of water.

After hearing that our neighbor's cat managed to chew a chunk off her cheap plastic feeding mat, I wanted something more solid for ours. This one doesn't flex or peel at the edges the way that plastic one apparently did, so I'm not worried about the same thing happening here.

The mat survived a week of active use with a Labrador: water, drool, food, everything washes off.

The old mat slid around on the tile, but this one stays flat even when the puppy rushes to the bowl.

The color turned out to be a warm taupe-brown that blends right into our kitchen cabinets, a better match than I expected from the product photos. Water splashes from the dog's bowl stay much more contained on it too, which was a nice bonus.

My pug drools more than I'd like to admit, and food scraps used to end up everywhere near his bowl. This mat catches nearly all of it now, so instead of sweeping and mopping daily I just give it a quick wipe.

I like the muted beige-brown tone, it doesn't scream "pet accessory" the way some brighter mats do. Water spots and stray crumbs also blend in well enough that it never looks as messy as it probably is between cleanings.

We have a water fountain plus a regular bowl side by side, and between the two there used to be constant splashing onto the parquet. This mat catches both, and the floor around it has stayed dry ever since.

After wiping with a damp cloth, no stickiness from cat pate is left on the surface.

I liked that there is one mat in the package, with no extra parts, and it is ready to use right away.

The raised edge is a convenient height: I run a sponge along the edge, and all the food is easy to collect.

The bowls no longer knock against the floor early in the morning. The silicone absorbs impact noise really well. The neighbors appreciated it.

With two Welsh Corgis sharing a water bowl, I was constantly mopping up puddles before this. The mat's edge is tall enough to actually hold the splashes instead of just slowing them down, so now I just tip the water into the sink every couple of days instead of wiping the floor after every drink. It also grips the tile well, which matters since my dogs tend to skid around when they're excited. Very happy with this purchase.

It dries in a couple of minutes. I wipe it with a cloth, hang it over the edge of the sink, and can put it back down right away.

We have two cats, Nora and Bella, who eat next to each other. Both bowls and a small water dish fit on the mat, with space left around the edges for crumbs. We have been using it for ten days; the surface has not scratched and has not become sticky after washing.

I liked that food doesn't get stuck in fabric, like it did with our previous mat.

The raised edge really held back the water after the dog drank, and the floor is dry. But large drops sometimes spill over the corner.

She likes to nudge her bowl around while deciding whether she's actually hungry, but the mat underneath stays put regardless, so the bowl doesn't end up sliding across the kitchen.

We often go to the country house with our corgi Lucas, so I was looking for a non-rigid stand. This mat rolls up without creasing, fits in a bag with the bowls, and then lays flat just fine. After the trip, I rinsed it under the tap, it dried quickly, and I didn't notice any smell.

My dog has a habit of dragging a mouthful of kibble a few steps from his bowl before eating it, so we'd find crumbs scattered around the kitchen. With the mat underneath, most of it just falls back onto the surface instead of the floor, so end-of-day sweeping takes way less effort.

Fits perfectly in the dishwasher. After greasy wet food, it washes perfectly without any streaks.

Before this, my cat would nudge her bowl clear across the kitchen while eating, scattering kibble along the way. The mat holds its position on the parquet even when she really goes at it, so the bowl basically stays put now.

Rico, our beagle puppy, inhales his food like someone's going to steal it, which used to mean kibble flying everywhere. It's been about two weeks with this mat under his bowls, and both the dry food and his water bowl overflow stay contained, nothing has crept under the cabinet since. A quick rinse at the tap each evening keeps it looking new. Would definitely buy again.

I like that after rinsing it, you can quickly roll it up and put it away behind the cabinet.

Threw it in the dishwasher after wet food, it came out clean and spotless.

I wasn't sure the lip would be tall enough, but it's handled every spill so far without overflowing. It's the first time in a while the floor under the water bowl has actually stayed dry. Ordering a second one to keep as a spare.

Good mat. It does attract a bit of pet hair on the surface, but the silicone is super easy to wipe down with a sponge.

Our puppy is on this mat multiple times a day, so I did some reading on the materials before ordering rather than trusting the listing photos alone. Everything checked out, and it's held up fine under daily use so far.

Lucas is not a graceful drinker by any means, but the tall edge on this mat catches whatever he splashes out. I just tip the collected water into the sink afterward instead of mopping the floor.

I put it in the hallway where our pet eats. The floors are wooden, and now they are protected from scratches and spilled food.

The product has no defects and no chemical smell. It was neatly packaged. Delivery was fast. All is super.

I wash it under the tap after dinner; the grease from the wet food comes off quickly. It's just a bit awkward to hold with one hand.

Before this mat, our cat's dry food crumbs ended up scattered well past her bowl. The raised edge actually contains them now, so I'm not finding kibble under the fridge anymore.

I rinse it right under the tap after the cat's breakfast, it takes less than a minute.

We have a bowl with a rubber bottom, and it stands especially steady on this mat.

The cream shade doesn't show every single drop of water, so the kitchen looks visually neater.

Since we started using this under the dog's water bowl, the splashes stay contained on the mat itself, and the laminate right around it has stayed completely dry after mealtimes.

Ordered this for my large dog. The size allows for large bowls. It completely covers the feeding area.

We have a small kitchen, and the mat fits perfectly under our two cat bowls.

I was glad this wasn't offered only in loud primary colors, the mocha shade we got looks like a normal kitchen accessory rather than a pet toy plopped in the middle of the floor.

Got this to replace a fabric mat. This one is much more hygienic since bacteria don't breed in it.

The dimensions were an absolute perfect fit for our double ceramic bowl. Thanks to the manufacturer for the accurate measurements.

No complaints here. The silicone itself feels sturdy and well made, definitely not the flimsy kind that tears after a few washes.

It rolls up easily, and I take it with me when we go away with the dog for the weekend.

I would buy it again. The only downside is that you have to wash it thoroughly to get the grease off if you’ve fed them pâté, but that’s a small thing.

After dry food, I just shake the crumbs into the trash; the silicone doesn’t hold on to smells.
