Keep floors dry with a pet mat

3 min read · Sippy Paws

Drinking pets make splashes. A mat under the bowl or fountain catches them before they reach the floor.

Here is how to choose and use one.

The size

The Silicone Pet Feeding Mat is about 18 x 12 in. That is roomy enough for a fountain or a bowl, with space around it.

Measure your spot before you order.

The raised edge

The mat is cloud shaped silicone, so it can be wiped or rinsed with warm water.

It comes in gray, blue, white, green or pink, so you can match your kitchen.

Placement

Set the mat on a flat hard floor and place the fountain or bowl in the middle. Wipe it down when it gets wet.

Hand wash it when it needs more than a wipe.

Cleaning

Wipe or rinse with warm water, as listed on the product page. Let it dry before putting it back.

A quick wipe after each use keeps it neat.

Pair it with the right fountain

The mat is about 18 x 12 in, and the Sippy Cordless Fountain, 4 L is a possible fit, so compare its base with the mat. The page for the Sippy Steel Fountain, 2.2 L does not list its width, so compare that base too. Before you order, set a sheet of paper that size on the floor and check how it looks in your spot.
