Fluffy Dog Crate Mat – Faux Fur, Non-Slip Base, Grey
This crate mat is covered in a deep, fluffy faux fur that instantly makes a wire or plastic dog crate feel warmer and more inviting. The long, dense pile creates a soft surface that dogs enjoy sinking into, and the grey colour is practical enough to hide light dirt between washes. A non‑slip base helps the mat stay put on the crate floor, even when a dog circles or shifts during the night.
- Suitable for: Ideal for small to medium dogs up to approximately 20 kg, such as Cocker Spaniels, Beagles, or French Bulldogs. The plush texture is especially beneficial for short‑haired breeds or older dogs that appreciate a softer resting spot. It can also be used for cats in a large carrier, though it is sold as a dog mat.
- Ideal scenarios: Designed to fit inside a standard dog crate, it can also be placed in the boot of a car, on a cold tile floor, or in a dog house as an extra layer of comfort. It works well for crate training, travel, or simply giving a pet a designated spot in the home.
Material: The top layer is a high‑pile faux fur made from polyester, chosen for its softness and durability. The filling is a layer of polyester fibre that provides cushioning without being overly thick. The underside features a dotted non‑slip fabric that grips smooth floors. The entire mat is sewn as a single piece, with overlocked edges to prevent fraying.
Structure and features: The mat is a flat, rectangular cushion with no raised bolsters, allowing dogs to stretch out fully. The soft surface is gentle on paws and helps reduce pressure on elbows. The non‑slip bottom prevents sliding on crate trays or flooring. It is also lightweight and can be rolled up for storage or travel.
Care and maintenance: The mat is machine washable in cool water on a gentle cycle. A mild detergent should be used, and fabric softener is best avoided as it can reduce fluffiness. Air‑dry the mat thoroughly, as high heat can damage the non‑slip backing. A light shake after drying helps restore the pile.
Packaging: The mat is vacuum‑packed and rolled, arriving in a compact parcel. It will expand to its full thickness within a few hours of being unpacked. A brief airing is recommended to allow any compressed fibres to relax.
Important notes: This is a single crate mat. Though the non‑slip base provides good grip, it should always be used on a dry surface. Some loose faux fur fibres may shed during the first few uses — this is normal and will subside. Do not leave the mat with a dog that is a determined chewer, as the fabric is not chew‑proof.
