This striped crate mat offers a thicker profile, combining absorption with a waterproof layer to manage everyday moisture inside a dog crate. • Plush Thickness: The mat is built with a deeper fill than standard mats, which helps cushion joints and provides a more restful surface for dogs that spend time in a crate. The striped pattern is woven into the top fabric, giving it a clean, understated look.
• Waterproof Barrier: Inside the mat, a sealed membrane prevents liquids from passing through to the crate tray or floor. This works for water bowl spills, wet paws, and minor training accidents. Prompt blotting of any wetness on the surface will help the mat dry faster.
• Striped Textile Top: The upper layer is made of a soft, short‑pile fabric that feels comfortable underfoot. The stripes are dyed into the fibres, not printed on, so they remain visible after repeated laundering. The design also helps to disguise light shedding and everyday dust.
• Non‑Slip Backing: The underside is coated with a grip pattern that reduces sliding on plastic crate trays and smooth floors. For best results, place the mat on a dry, dust‑free surface and press down along the edges. If used on a wire grid, a crate tray is recommended to give the mat a flat base.
• Machine Washable: The mat is machine washable on a gentle cold setting. It should be air dried rather than tumble dried, as high heat can affect the waterproof membrane. Occasional vacuuming with an upholstery attachment can lift embedded hair between washes.
This mat is intended for use inside a crate; it is not designed for dogs that dig or chew persistently. Check the mat routinely for any punctures in the waterproof layer, and remove it if damage is found. Its thickness provides comfort, but the mat is not a replacement for proper bedding in very cold conditions.
