Pet owners across the UK are discovering a simple and affordable way to combat the mess created by their furry companions at mealtimes. Homeware retailer Dunelm is offering a highly-rated solution that helps keep floors clean without breaking the bank.
A Bargain Find for Pet Households
The product in question is the Silicone Feeding Pet Mat, which has seen its price drop to just £4. Designed specifically to catch food and water overspill from pet bowls, the mat is made from a practical silicone material. This allows for easy clean-up, as it can be quickly wiped down or washed in the sink after a messy feeding session.
Shoppers have highlighted its non-slip quality, which helps prevent bowls from sliding around, and its lipped edge that effectively contains spills. Available in three colours – Ochre, Navy, and Black – the mat has been described by buyers as both functional and stylish.
What Shoppers Are Saying
The response from customers has been overwhelmingly positive. One reviewer expressed regret for not purchasing it sooner, stating it was "so much better than the standard pet mats" and an "unbelievable" value for money.
Another happy customer, who owns a puppy, confirmed its effectiveness: "The mat catches a lot of the water and food getting on the floor." The product has found fans beyond just pet owners, with one creative buyer using it to keep their kettle and toaster tidy on a countertop.
Reviews consistently praise its super quality, ease of cleaning, and good looks. While one isolated review mentioned that marks stayed where food had dropped, this appears to be an exception among the feedback.
How It Compares
While Dunelm's offering provides a simple, circular design, other retailers like Amazon sell alternative pet food mats. One example is the OHMO Cat Food Mat, which retails for £6.99 and comes in a fun cat shape with twelve colour options. However, Dunelm's product stands out for its straightforward utility and notably lower price point of £4.
This mat is proving particularly useful for owners of old dogs, energetic puppies, and cats alike, providing a simple yet effective barrier between enthusiastic eaters and clean floors.
