These Are Our Favorite Feeding Mats

During mealtimes, it is inevitable that pets may leave some food crumbs or spill some water from their pet bowls especially when they get too enthusiastic. Other times, they’d like to play with their food or accidentally tip their bowls over. These can be messy to clean and can damage your hardwood floor. Feeding mats are great accessories to solve these woes. Placing a feeding mat under your pet’s bowl can help contain spilled food within the feeding area and off your floor. Feeding mats can also be placed under cat water fountains or pet feeders.

There are different styles and designs of feeding mats available nowadays. To pick a good feeding mat, it must be made with food-safe and non-toxic materials, must be waterproof or absorbent, should be easy to clean, and most importantly, should keep your floors clean. We created a list of our top feeding mat choices. Take a look and see if there is something you’d like.
