About PawMat
Why Should I Choose PawMat?
PawMat is a superior anti-fatigue grooming table, kennel, bath and floor mat for dogs and pet professionals. If you look at a PawMat it resembles a yoga mat. However yoga mats are made to absorb sweat when you work out on them so they get sticky, and start to fall apart then they harbor moisture and bacteria. PawMat has the comfort but without absorbing moisture so NO bacteria or mildew! They keep dogs safer on your table and in the bath or anywhere else there is a slippery surface. Dogs have better traction which makes them feel more comfortable and relaxed and in turn makes your job easier. The colors give good contrast for grooming too! The best part is how good they feel under your feet!
Is PawMat Safe?
PawMat is made from Thermoplastic technology, this material has been extensively tested for systemic and hemotoxicity and have been found to be chemically inactive. What that means is if a dog swallowed a piece of the mat, it would not be toxic to your animal. Thermoplastics are so safe that they are used for medical equipment as well children's toys and many other products used by us everyday.
What Makes PawMat Unique?

Thermoplastic technology was the solution. It's water and stain resistance make it easy to clean and dry quickly.
