Pets Essentials Bone Fleece Crate Mat

A soft layer without a deep bed edge to climb over.

WHAT TO CHECK FIRST

Will this mat suit your resting setup?

01

Does it lie flat?

Measure the crate base so the mat does not bunch, curl up or leave awkward gaps.

02

Is the cushioning enough?

Thin fleece may not provide enough pressure relief for a dog who cannot change position independently.

03

Will it stay in place?

Check for sliding on the actual floor or tray and keep the bedding flat.

04

Can you rotate clean bedding?

Check the washing instructions and keep a dry spare ready for accidents.

FIT, USE & SAFETY

Check the surface your dog actually rests on

Measure the usable crate tray, then compare it with the size table above. The mat should lie flat without bunching at the edges. It provides light cushioning; a dog unable to reposition needs an individual bedding and skin-care plan.
