GORILLA GRIP 100% Waterproof Raised Edge Pet Feeding Mat - Spill

In this review the GORILLA GRIP 28x18 pet feeding mat is judged as a practical, low-maintenance solution for pet owners who need reliable spill containment. The single biggest reason to consider it is the raised-edge, waterproof silicone design that keeps water and kibble from reaching floors, making cleanup faster and reducing stains. The mat's award recognition underlines the thoughtful design and the review looks at how well it performs in everyday feeding setups for both cats and dogs.

Key Features

• 100 percent waterproof silicone: The fully waterproof material prevents moisture from seeping through to floors, so spills stay on the mat for easy wiping or rinsing.
• Raised 1/8-in edges: The raised border contains splashes and scattered kibble, reducing how often floors need deep cleaning.
• Slip resistant topside: Raised dots on the surface help keep bowls in place and limit sliding during enthusiastic eaters.
• BPA free and food safe: Made from food-grade silicone so it is safe to place bowls and pet dishes directly on the mat without concern for harmful chemicals.
• Durable backing: The textured backing helps the mat stay put under bowls, feeders, or litter boxes to minimize shifting during use.
• Versatile size and use: At 28x18 in the mat fits typical feeding stations, cat fountains, small raised feeders, or can be placed under a litter box to catch loose litter.

Who It's For

The mat is well suited to pet owners who want a low-effort way to control mealtime mess for cats and small to medium dogs, especially in kitchens, mudrooms, or apartments where floor protection matters. It is also useful for people who prefer silicone because it wipes clean easily and resists water.

Owners of very large breeds or those who need a much larger coverage area should look for bigger sizes; similarly, shoppers seeking a soft padded surface for joint protection should consider a different style since this is a thin, functional silicone mat focused on containment and grip.
