Highlighted Reviews

"My 13 year old Poochon loves to curl up on this to get a good nap. And it's got a removable, washable cover, which Mommy loves."

— StellaAnn2014

"I bought this thinking it would be 4 inches thick. When I saw it I was so disappointed. I left it out thinking it would expand. Guess what ... it didn't. They need to change the information on line. I needed 4 inches thick."

Bottom Line

This mat is a good quick fix for crates but has durability and sizing issues that may necessitate returns or additional purchases. It is best for smaller dogs or temporary use. Consider other brands with thicker pads for long-term durability.
