This mat is the ultimate in pet bedding. This medical-grade bedding is used by those involved in the care and welfare of all kinds and breeds of animal. It is used in the kennels and cages as bedding for sick, recuperating and whelping dogs. The double woven open weave backing allows bodily fluids to pass through the mat, into a receptacle or absorbent pad. This listing features the ribbed non-slip backing. This backing makes it ideal for use with ceramic tiles, wood laminate flooring, dog cages/crates or car boot liners. The luxurious 25-28mm high pile offers comfort, warmth, and protection which is why it is used by kennels/catteries and pro breeders as standard bedding for all their animals. As this is a material and can have minor shape changes, it is operated within a tolerance of +/- 3%.
