Handling and Caring for Your Pawmat

Handling and Caring for Your PawMat


First and Foremost PawMat is made for safety and comfort of the pets in our care not for looks. It does provide a nice contrast for you to be able to see but thats just an extra perk.

Will My PawMat Get Scratched?

Wear and Tear for your PawMat

Due to the cushioned nature of our material as well as the instinct for dogs to grip with their toes and nails to gain traction, scratches and gouges are considered Normal Wear and Tear. This does not effect the intended use of the product and still provides your furry clients and pets with a wonderful anti-fatigue, anti-slip surface to keep them safe and comfortable. PawMats provide dogs, cats, and small animals something to feel supported on so they don't feel like they are slipping or risk splaying their legs out. Which in turn also makes for a calmer experience for them during any grooming, spa or examination process.  It's also non-toxic, PVC, and latex free! 

How long do they last?

Many groomers and pet owners have had them for years but some replace them every 6 months to a year. We encourage everyone to repurpose their very worn ones to be in kennels, on drying tables or even floors. While PawMats are not indestructible, they are thicker, softer, safer, and more durable than a standard yoga mat. PawMats will not fall apart like standard yoga mats once they are scratched and they are moisture, hair and bacteria resistant. 


Cleaning Your PawMat

Cleaning your PawMat

When you wash your PawMats at the end of the day we recommend Dawn Powerwash, water and a sponge, but you can use a bleach solution or pretty much any type of pet cleaners and disinfectants. As pictured you can see that even a heavily used mat that had not been washed in weeks can come clean again. For tougher dirt, grease or blood and even quick stop we recommend using Clorox Bleach Wipes or Mr Clean Magic Eraser’s. Please note that the best way to remove quick stop is to clean it within a reasonable time frame as with any surface the longer you leave it the more likely it is to stain. PawMat’s are made to be stain resistant but they are not stain proof. We tested with blood, foods, dyes and grease etc. but length of time and treatment of the surface could effect the stain resistance. Its best to wash your PawMat at the end of each day or at least wipe it down and deep clean it weekly!



Please Note...

Pawmats are heat sensitive. We do not recommend leaving in direct sunlight or using PawMat with any type of dryer that puts off heat. In addition if you use your PawMat in the bath tub, you never want to use hot water for an extended period of time.
