GORILLA GRIP Waterproof Raised Edge Silicone Pet Feeding Mat - Spill

In this review the GORILLA GRIP 100% Waterproof Raised Edge Silicone Pet Feeding Mat earns its keep for owners who want simple, no-nonsense floor protection during pet mealtimes. The single biggest reason to buy is its raised 1/8-in edges combined with fully waterproof silicone, which together stop spilled water and kibble from reaching hardwood or tile. The mat is presented as a durable, food-safe solution with a textured topside to hold bowls and a backing that resists sliding, making it a solid pick for messy eaters and indoor pets.

Key Features

• Award winning design: Winner of the 2025 Pet Innovation Award, indicating thoughtful design for everyday mealtime protection.
• Strong mess control: The 1/8-in raised edges and fully waterproof silicone contain spills and prevent liquids from reaching floors.
• Tough grip: Slip resistant topside with raised dots keeps bowls in place and reduces scatter during feedings.
• Durable, food safe material: Made from BPA free, food-grade silicone that is easy to wipe or rinse clean after use.
• Versatile size and use: At 28x18 in the mat works under water bowls, food bowls, raised feeders, automatic feeders, and even litter boxes.

Who It's For

The mat is best for dog and cat owners who want a low-effort barrier against spills and stray kibble, especially on hardwood, tile, or linoleum where water damage or stains are a concern. It suits homes with energetic eaters or multiple bowls because the textured top helps keep dishes steady.

Those who need a very large feeding station or expect industrial-grade chew resistance should look elsewhere; a few customers reported early tearing in heavy-chew situations, so it is not marketed as a chew toy or heavy outdoor mat.
