GORILLA GRIP 100% Waterproof Raised Edge Silicone Pet Feeding Mat

In this review the GORILLA GRIP 100% Waterproof Raised Edge Silicone Pet Feeding Mat is evaluated for pet owners who want a low-maintenance, waterproof solution to mealtime messes. The bottom line: this mat's award-winning design and 1/8-in raised edges make it excellent at containing spills and protecting floors, while the textured topside and slip-resistant backing keep bowls and food from sliding around. It is most appealing to households with dogs or cats that spill water or scatter kibble and to anyone who values easy cleaning and durable, food-safe materials.

Key Features

• Award-winning design: Winner of the 2025 Pet Innovation Award, the mat brings a proven, thoughtfully designed approach to reducing mealtime cleanup.
• Waterproof protection: Made from 100 percent waterproof silicone so liquids sit on the surface and do not reach the floor beneath.
• Raised edge containment: The 1/8-in raised edges trap spills and prevent water or food from rolling off the mat and staining floors.
• Tough grip and anti-scatter: Slip-resistant topside with raised dots keeps bowls in place and reduces scattering during feeding.
• Food-safe material: BPA free, food grade silicone offers a safe surface for bowls and pet contact and is easy to wipe or rinse clean.
• Versatile use: Sized at 23x15 in and compatible with food bowls, water dishes, fountains, raised feeders, auto feeders, or even placed under litter boxes.

Who It's For

The mat is ideal for dog and cat owners who need a reliable surface to contain water and kibble during mealtime and who prefer a mat that cleans easily. Homes with tile, wood, or laminate floors will benefit from the waterproof barrier and raised edges that prevent moisture damage.

Those who should look elsewhere include pet owners who need a much larger coverage area than 23x15 in or shoppers who expect a fabric-style absorbent mat rather than silicone; also, a few customers reported early tearing so high-chew households may want a chewer-specific mat or supervision during use.

Cons

• Some customers found the 23x15 in size smaller than expected for larger bowl setups.
