"I’m thrilled that Chewy is carrying this line. I absolutely love it and my pup loves this mat. I have a large for just outside the kitchen to use as her mat where she sits when I’m in the kitchen"

— BaxtersMom

"This item was bought for a new puppy. It was laundered according to instruction but on the second washing, the inner lining bunched up in the middle. There is no way to access it nor any other way to reshape it. I do not recommend purchasing this item."

Bottom Line

Due to widespread reports of poor durability and quality issues, this crate mat is not recommended. Buyers should look for more robust alternatives.
