Getting Started
The best way to start — Measure the space your pet’s food and water bowls take. Some pets have separate water stations like fountains, in which case, a smaller mat will work well because only food bowls are on the mat. These mats work well under feeding stands too. You can use the mat under fountains, but water makes them slippery, like all smooth wet surfaces.
Standard Sizes Include:
Medium Pet Food Place Mat 13″ x 24″ is a good size for several cat dishes and maybe three names. Works well for one large dog with water bowl or two small/medium dogs’ food bowls. My dog Zoe’s mat is this size; she’s a 60 lb English Shepherd mix. We keep a large stainless steel bowl and large ceramic traditional dog food bowl on it. $99 with name only (ten letters included) $149 with portrait and name up through ten letters.
More letters than ten? Add $1 per letter.

Working from photos, I’ll design a portrait.
Taking portrait photos of your pet–it can be harder than it looks. I recommend several photos of different parts of your animal, so if you can’t get the perfect photograph of your pet, then take several shots. E-mailing of photos makes the portrait process pretty easy. Faces, chests, front paws and long tails are the most important.
Want a circular mat or perhaps a cut out flower on one end? Maybe you want two small dogs or two cats on one mat. Contact me for special orders. If you have multiple pets, a corner pet feeding area, or a particular need our standard mats sizes don’t address, then you’ll want to 100 % customize your pet food mat to the maximum.
For a $25 consultation fee, I will consult with you to figure out the best solution that meets your needs and price range. The fee is then applicable to the price of any mat you buy, standard sizes or 100% custom designed. And remember I design all sorts of mats, not only for pets but for people too!
