Bone DryMachine Washable, Ultra Absorbent Pet Mat, 12x18, Aqua/Off-White Lattice

I received this product in the mail and there was a sticker on it saying that it contains chemicals that are known to cause cancer/birth defects. This is very surprising and somewhat worrisome - why on earth would I put my dogs food and water bowls on this? Honestly, when was the last time you bought dinner placemats for your household that had that kind of label on the package? Did I miss something in the product description?! I’m glad the sticker was on the product because I’m just going to go buy a new mat at Ross or HomeGoods that doesn’t contain chemicals known to cause cancer. Bummer because it’s super cute :(

This mat was so cute and I was so ready for it to come to replace my old ugly mat I had under my dog's bowls. I bought the matching bowls to go with this mat to make it a cute set. As soon as I opened the box there is a big ol' sticker on the plastic covering the mat that states this mat falls under Proposition 65 because it has chemicals in it that cause cancer and birth defects. I certainly don't want my daughter, husband or myself around this mat, but I don't think my dog should be subjected to these kind of chemicals either. Very disappointed.

Only commenting on the absorbency and the product description re: sizeThe product is advertised as 14 x 24 for the small size; the small is more like 10 x 18 and the large size is barely 13 x 23 (picture of how it was advertised attached).The mat is not super absorbent - it is barely absorbent at all. A stack of paper towels with the same thickness as the mat will protect floors better.

This mat has saved my sanity! We have tile floors in our new house, and my dogs are the messiest drinkers. I never noticed before because their water bowl was always on carpet. Now that it is on the tile floors, there seems to always be a huge lake of dog water on the floor. I was looking for quite a while for something that was not a huge eyesore and would work well. I didn't want to waste money on a mat that looked good if it didn't' work well. I finally decided to buy this mat and give it a whirl. I am so extremely happy that I did! No more huge puddles on my tile floors! The mat looks super cute and is not too big or small for my dogs water container. I think that this mat is the perfect size! It also soaks up the water really nicely. I was worried that it might get mildew, but so far so good! It might be because of our super dry climate here in the desert, but it sucks up the water and dries out very nicely. I wish I had gotten this mat sooner!

I bought this bc one of my rescue cats thinks he’s a freaking raccoon and can’t keep his paws out of the water dish leaving 1-2 quarts of water on the floor causing water damage to a wall. This mat solved the problem absorbing most of the water. I ring it out and hang it in the sun to for about an hour or so and replace it. Thanks

What I don't like about this product is that it doesn't lay flat. The edges curl up and as such, give it an unkempt appearance. I thought about notifying the Seller but it just wasn't worth the trouble to me. Maybe that's unfair because now I'm writing a not positive review whereas I didn't give the Seller a chance to address.

Update 2020: I bought a new one this week to replace the other bought a couple years ago. The backing on the old one wasn’t as sticky anymore to keep it in place after washing it many times. Received the new one today, however they have changed the backing and it has zero “non slip” qualities. Won’t stay in place. Now I have to buy some double sided rug grips to place under it.The width fit perfectly on the table my cat eats on, I didn’t want it over hanging the table. It keeps his bowl in place and gives him a soft spot to eat. He likes it so I’m happy.

I am very happy with these pet mats and have already purchased in another style/color. They have a very good non-skid bottom and can be washed. Please note that after washing they will not be as stiff and you will have to pull to stretch back into shape due to the non-skid backing. It is still amazing and works perfect - just gets softer with use. I love these mats and switch out colors when I need to wash the one in use. I will buy again!

Disgusted to receive this with a sticker on the front which reads..."can expose you to chemicals which are known to cause cancer and birth defects". I have never written a bad review as I tend to think that life is too short, but it beggars belief that I would want this in my home, let alone in close contact with a beloved animal.I want a full refund please. Please advise.

When I received this product I found it folded in half for shipping, now it has a crease down the middle that creates a visible line down the middle plus this crease does not allow for it to lay flat but has a buckle in the centre. I would suggest rolling the product into a tube shape preventing creasing. Don't get me wrong the product is good except the crease is my problem - it's not used as intended now.

Please don’t waste your money. This dog food mat is way over priced for its quality. I could have bought the same mat if not better from the dollar store.Very cheap flimsy microfibre. And the size large is really a small. Not large at all. My dog’s bowls don’t even fit on the whole mat and my dog’s bowls are not even that large. Huge disappointment!

Leí comentarios de que llegaba doblado y que l línea en medio se veía horrible y no podían quitársela, ya que es de material tipo tela, pero lo lave antes de ponerlo, seque al sol y como si nada, liso totalmente. Es pequeño pero ideal para mi cachorra y sus mini bowl( de la misma marca). Como mencioné es lavable y no se hace feo. No esperen que sea súper absorbente, me ha funcionado perfecto para las gotitas que de repente salpican, por si solo no es muy anti derrapa te, pero los bowls que tengo son de cerámica y con el peso, solo jalándolo podría moverse. Los conseguí en $150

This did not come as advertised. The one product photo showed the sizes and dimensions and we based our purchase of the Large mat off of those dimensions. But when it came it was much smaller and did not work. So we returned it.Never used it but quality of product seemed fine.
