The silicon feeding mat is just what I was looking for. We had no trouble getting our new puppy to use it. So gar she hasn't tried chewing it.

About a week after we got this, we came home and found the cats had somehow managed to take a huge piece off the side of it. I can only imagine it wasn't a great product, because they're just cats! Had only been used inside under dinner bowls. Very disappointed with the product which we are now using gaff-taped together. Would not recommend.

The mat is wide and retains all the spills. Easy to clean, waterproof and provides a neat solution.

left under the refilled daily dogs water dish - wipe to clean - very convenient,neat low sided design.
