GORILLA GRIP Waterproof Raised Edge Silicone Pet Feeding Mat - 23x15

In this review the GORILLA GRIP 100% Waterproof Raised Edge Silicone Pet Feeding Mat is assessed as a practical, low-maintenance option for pet owners who want to protect floors from food and water mess. The single biggest reason to buy is its full silicone construction with a raised 1/8-in edge that reliably contains spills and prevents liquids from reaching the floor. The mat is aimed at households with messy eaters or drinkers and those who prefer a dishwasher-safe, BPA free feeding surface that stays in place during mealtime.

Key Features

• 100 percent waterproof: The solid silicone construction keeps water and food on top of the mat so spills do not soak through to the floor.
• Raised edge containment: A 1/8-in raised border directs liquid runoff back onto the mat to reduce the risk of floor damage from bowls or fountains.
• Slip resistant top: Raised dots on the topside help keep bowls and dishes steady and reduce scattered kibble around the feeding area.
• Dishwasher safe material: Food grade, BPA free silicone is easy to clean by hand or in the dishwasher for quick maintenance after meals.
• Multi-use size: At 23x15 in the mat fits water bowls, feeders, auto feeders and even small litter boxes where extra protection is needed.

Who It's For

The mat is best for dog and cat owners who need a durable, waterproof surface to protect hardwood, tile or laminate floors from spills, damp paw prints and scattered kibble. It suits households with active or messy eaters, multi-pet homes where bowls get pushed around, and anyone who values an easy-to-clean placemat that stays put.

Owners looking for a decorative runner or a soft cushioning surface should look elsewhere; this mat prioritizes spill containment and floor protection over plush comfort. Very large breed owners requiring extra-wide coverage may need a larger size than the 23x15 in option reviewed here.
