JW PET COMPANY STAY IN PLACE PET FOOD MAT

The JW Pet Company Stay in Place Mat helps to protect the floor from spills or food when your cat is eating. This mat has slightly raised nubs on the surface to help the cat bowl or dish to stay in place. Stay in Place Mat’s rubber edges in each corner help to keep the mat from moving around.

FEATURES

• Rubber edges help the mat to stay in place.
• It helps to keep your pet’s feeding station clean.
• Slight nubs on the surface to keep the pets bowl or dish in place
• Easy to clean
• Suitable for dogs and cats bowls.
• Product Dimensions in inches: 18.8 x 15 x 1  (L x W x H)

PROS

• Rubber corner edges help to keep the mat stable on the floor.
• Raised edges help to prevent water spills or food from getting on the floor (Very good at containing water spills, even in big amounts).
• The mat is sturdy
• Dishwasher safe
• Slightly raised bumps help to keep the food or water bowl to stay in place.

CONS

• As the raised bumps on the surface are not rubberized, a metal dish or bowl won’t stay firmly in place.
• It does not fit well in most dishwashers (you can place it to the bottom, horizontally)
• You cannot choose the color of the mat.
• Even though the rubber corners edges help to keep the mat stable on the floor, it could still be moved by an active cat or dog in a tile or wooden floor.

CONCLUSION:

The JW Pet Company Stay in Place Cat Food Mat helps effectively to keep the food and water off the floor. In this sense this is a good mat. It has some details though as, for example; the slightly raised bumps are not 100% non-slip and a cat could still move the dish or bowl due to the surfaces of the bumps not being rubberized. The bottom rubber corners help to keep the mat stable but it seems like it does not work firmly on tile or wooden floors. For all these reasons and Pros and Cons,

√ I recommend the JW Pet Company Stay in Place Cat Food Mat:

• To be used in carpet.
• With non-metallic dishes or bowls if your cat moves them around when eating. If your cat eats normally, it’s fine using it with metal bowls.
• If you don’t mind to receive any color.

X I don’t recommend this mat:

• To use it with tile or wooden floors if you have a messy cat
• If your cat likes to move the bowl around when eating
• If you want a specific color (colors may vary)
