Highlighted Reviews

— Lulu

"This mat is great for my Yorkie. I placed it up against the wall and it stays put. Easy to clean. Just wipe it down. Some of the paint came off, but it's still better than having to put it in the washing machine."

— Deborah

"I didn't work for me. My blind dog would step on it and slide a bit and he would freak out."

Bottom Line

While the placemat is cute and functional, the slipping issue is a significant drawback. Consider it if you have small pets or can find a solution to the slipping problem.
