Washable Plush Dog Crate Mat with Anti-Slip Bottom

You come down in the morning and the mat is rucked into a corner of the crate again, and he's been sleeping on the bare tray. He circled, it slid, he gave up. A crate mat only works if it's still where you put it.

This washable plush dog crate mat pairs a heavy rose velvet cover with a deep fiber fill and an anti-slip, anti-scratch base. It's cut to line a standard crate, and works just as well straight on the floor or in a kennel.

What the crate mat is built from:

• Rose velvet cover: a heavy plush that stays soft and doesn't shed the way a cheap fleece does
• Deep fiber fill: enough loft that he's off the crate tray rather than pressed against it
• Springs back: the filling recovers its shape instead of flattening into a pancake in the middle
• Anti-slip base: grips a smooth floor so the mat doesn't shoot out when he steps on it
• Machine washable: the whole mat goes in and holds its shape afterward

Rose velvet instead of thin fleece. The cover is a heavyweight plush rather than the thin fleece that mats down after a month. It's the part your dog is actually lying on, so it's the part worth paying for.

Deep enough to be the bed. A crate mat that is one inch thick is a liner. This one has the depth to work as the bed itself, and the fill recovers overnight instead of staying compressed where he sleeps.

The base is why it doesn't move. Textured non-skid fabric runs across the whole underside, which is the difference between a mat that lines the crate and one that ends up rucked into a corner by morning.

Cut to fit a standard crate. Each size drops into a standard crate without folding at the edges, and it works the same on a hard floor or in the trunk of a car.

Straight into the machine. Wash it whole, by hand or in the machine, and it keeps its shape rather than coming out as a lumpy bag.

Getting the size right

Five sizes, 23, 29, 35, 41 and 47 inches, fitting crates from 24 to 48 inches. Measure the inside of your crate rather than the outside, and check that and your dog's weight against the size chart in the gallery before ordering.

Safety note: Wash and dry the mat fully before first use. Take it out of the crate for a dog that chews bedding, since a torn cover puts the fill within reach, and check the seams after each wash.

Measure the inside of the crate, pick the size that matches, and he settles on the mat instead of scratching at the tray. It's still flat and in place in the morning.
