Feeding
How to choose a silicone pet feeding mat
The Mittlo feeding mat is a raised-edge gray silicone mat that sits under everyday food and water bowls for cats and for dogs. The lip is about 0.6 in (1.5 cm) and helps catch drips and small spills. Bowls are not included. Pick the size by measuring the space your bowls already occupy, then choose among 24 × 20 in, 24 × 24 in, and 26 × 24 in.
Measure the bowls you already use
Bowls and water fountains are not included. Set the bowls you already use on the floor and measure the area they cover, including the space between a food bowl and a water bowl if you keep both out.
Choose a mat larger than that footprint. The sizes are 24 × 20 in at $27, 24 × 24 in at $29, and 26 × 24 in at $32. US shipping is included in those prices. The product page does not assign each size to a pet weight, so do not guess by the animal's pounds. If the bowls or a fountain sit past the edge, choose a larger size.
What the lip will and will not hold
The raised lip is about 0.6 in (1.5 cm). It helps catch drips, a wet chin, and small spills. If a full bowl is knocked over, liquid can still go over the lip. The mat is for the splash under everyday bowls, not a tray for a bowl tipped on purpose.
How to clean it
Wipe it, rinse it, or wash it when it needs a clean. Put it on the kitchen floor under the bowls you already use.
