Drymate Jumbo Dog Playpen Mat (60x74), Super Absorbent, Waterproof, Slip-Resistant, Machine Washable, Reusable Puppy Pad for Training, Whelping, Housebreaking, Incontinence, Crate, Kennel (USA Made)

I raise Goldendoodles and Labradoodles, and so I go through a lot of whelping pads in a year. In the past I had been using the standard 48" x 48" whelp pads inside my boxes, but they are not quite big enough to keep them from bunching up beneath my dogs, and when whelping their feet keep sliding out from beneath them so they cannot assist in birthing their pups. I ended up having to hold my girls up all the time so they could have puppies. Also, those pads stain terribly and have to be thrown into a washing machine, so dog hair ends up plugging up my washing machine if I don't clean out the filter constantly. So when I saw these pads and how they would come clean with a hose and no slippage, I bought one. What a huge difference!!! I kept thinking, 'why didn't I buy these first?' Size is perfect at 48" x 52" for my whelp boxes, so my bumper rails keep them snug in place. And cleaning with a hose is exactly as they say, a breeze with all the stains gone instantly. They have an amazing surface that provides great traction for the moms, and I don't have to hold them up anymore. The bottom is a lovely neoprene that prevents leaks to the floor, and it sticks like a magnet to my Jonart PVC floors. I purchased 5 so I would have backups. I hose them, let them air dry, dilute a bleach mixture (very diluted or you will spot the gray colored surface), spray them down and let them air dry once more. Clean, sanitary and efficient. The pups stay in their whelp boxes until they are four weeks old, and all messes hose right off, no problem! Also, my girls nest big time. I'm talking they tear regular sheets up clawing them around. I feared that might happen with these as well, but no. Try as they might they could not tear up these great whelp pads. If I could be in love with a whelp pad, I am with this one When my life is made easier by a product, I like to tell everyone about it. And delivering puppies is a stressful deal, so these pads are a blessing!!!

Must have product for new dog mom. Easy to clean, no smell and does not lift up from the floor. Amazing product.

Edit: the seller sent me a new one and I have not had any issues with the rubber disintegrating with the new mat so I suppose I just got one from a bad batch. Great customer service! At first I loved this pet carpet, it did a good job keeping the crate/feeding area easy to clean because it was washable. However, after around the 3rd washing the rubber backing started disintegrating in multiple places and now any liquid that gets on it goes straight to the floor, removing the cleaning benefit since the whole point was to be able to just clean the pet carpet vs the whole floor everytime. I only washed it on the gentle cycle on cold, never with bleach, and hung to air dry. I am very disappointed it did not hold up longer than a month.

Bought for large crate for 2 puppies. Pros: 1. Super easy to clean (I usually hose them down outside then let air dry. I put them in the washing machine once and didn't have any issues.) 2. Doesn't slide around crate 3. Light weight 4. Drys quickly Cons: 1. Not waterproof (always some liquid under mat, when I change it out after half a day in crate). 2. Puppies have chewed holes in them.

Perfect for all pets. I’ve had my dogs on it and my chickens. I just got two more!

The water bowl gets knocked over frequently with our excitable puppy. I have checked for leaks, and the mat is absorbent, having not leaked yet. It's fairly easy to vacuum. I haven't tried washing it.

We just added a new pup to the family and the weather is too stormy to ensure that all "business" gets done outside. This mat has worked well to protect our hardwood floor and carpet and can be spot cleaned. (We set up an ex-pen over the mat to give the pup some occasional private time and to provide our other grown dogs some "space".) We liked the first mat so well that we purchased a second one. One note: While hosing off is recommended, we have already washed the first mat in our large LG Washer. The cycle stopped at the Spin cycle. So we did a Rinse and Spin cycle to finish the cleaning, which worked well. It is hanging to dry--and it looks like it will dry very, very quickly.

I got it for my 12 week puppy who is being potty trained. The material is nice and dries very quickly when you wash it off with a hose. My reason for 3/5 stars is that if you are like me & have to wash it atleast 1x a week, it takes a decent amount of my time in the long term to set it out, wash it, and then put it back in. Also, you can wash it with a power hose and it can still smell like pee, so you need to use dish soap or something and scrub. It just becomes a whole event and I’m a busy working mother and need something more simple like throwing it in the wash. It’s a great product and is absorbent and does stay in place, but I will be buying another pad that I can just throw in the wash.

Great grip for puppies, however washed twice and hung to dry. Starts to peel on backing so it leaks through (does not absorb).

Me encantó, los use para el paridero y ayudo a mantener limpia el área, se lavan muy fácil, muy recomendable

Good quality. Soft. Does the job.

Very disappointed with the new backing on these mats. It is plastic and stiff - which makes it very difficult to wash the mats in the washing machine - plus I am concerned the backing will peel off after a few washes. The Drymate mats I have purchased in the past are fantastic as they are easy to wash in the washing machine and the backing is high quality - so has never been at risk of coming off. Drymate has lost the plot by taking away the one thing that made their mats stand out from the competition - the good quality backing.

Rubbish - very thin and really doesn’t hold the wee leakage, not good value for money at all
