FAQs
Can I use this mat on carpet?
Yes, this mat is suitable for both hard floors and low-pile carpeting, provided the surface is firm enough to support the crate.
Is the material safe if my pet chews it?
The mat is free from toxins, PVC, and phthalates, making it safer than standard plastics, but it is not intended to be a chew toy and should be replaced if significantly damaged.
How much weight can it hold?
The mat is rated for loads up to 115kg, making it suitable for most large dog crates and pet enclosures.
Does it have a chemical smell?
No, because it is made from an eco-friendly, non-toxic polymer, it does not release harmful odors or off-gassing.
Can I cut the mat to a custom size?
While the material is durable, we do not recommend cutting the mat as it may compromise the edge integrity and void your warranty.
Does this mat protect against pet accidents?
The mat is non-porous and acts as a liquid barrier to keep stains off your floor; however, spills should be wiped up promptly to prevent seepage around the edges.
Troubleshooting
Mat does not lay completely flat initially
Place the mat in a warm room for 24 hours to allow the polymer to relax and flatten naturally.
Slippage on smooth flooring
Ensure the floor and the underside of the mat are completely dry. If necessary, use a non-slip rug pad underneath the mat.
Visible dust buildup under the mat
Lift the mat periodically to clean the floor surface and the underside of the mat with a dry microfiber cloth.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To achieve the best results, ensure the floor area is completely vacuumed and mopped clean of dust and grit before laying the mat. Place the mat centered in the desired area and allow it to settle flat at room temperature. Because it is non-toxic and phthalate-free, no "off-gassing" period is required. For maintenance, simply wipe the top surface with a damp cloth and mild soap to remove pet hair or spillages. We recommend lifting the mat once a month to clean the floor underneath, ensuring that no debris has migrated under the protective layer which could cause fine surface scratches over time.
