Downtown Pet Supply Large Dog Crate Mat, Waterproof Ripstop Nylon Fabric, Light and Dark Blue, Chew Proof and Machine Washable

Just What I Was Looking For!
I purchased this for my 5 month old Aussie puppy whose crate is in my bedroom. His nails on the crate bottom at 3am when he went to move around? Made me insane 🙂 So I needed something to cut the noise, but that was also waterproof and – if even possible, chew-proof (because he was still teething/losing baby teeth as I was searching for this product).UPDATE: this is not chew-proof, so don’t expect it to be.I LOVE this product. It’s exactly what I needed. It’s affordable, it does what I needed it to do.I had previously tried lining his crate with blankets or towels, which he decided seemed great to pee on (which was interesting because he would not pee in his crate if it was just the plain bottom tray – only if I put something fabric like the towels/blankets) so those were not an option. And I am SO glad I found and tried this product!Not only is this a PERFECT fit for his crate, but it has completely eliminated the noise from his nails, and lives up to its waterproof and machine washable claims! My Aussie pup plays at the community dog park daily and it’s basically a dirt pit. Mix that with the slobber from other dogs and you have a nasty mud-caked pup. So I love that when I’m ready to give him a bath, this can go right in the washing machine (and it fully dried in my cruddy apartment dryer in about 30 minutes on medium heat). I will say it DID smell gross (fishy is the word I’d use) when I washed it. Now whether that was from the dirt-and-slobber that was caked into it or from whatever material makes up the filling, I cannot say. But just something to be mindful of if you’re also sensitive to scents.I have no idea if the chew-proof claim holds up because by some miracle my dog has made no attempt to chew it (though as you can tell in the photo, I leave some of his sturdy, quiet rubber toys in there with him just in case). Hopefully I never find out first-hand how it holds up to chewing.

Comfy crate pad
I got this for my bulldog that chews on everything. I’ve had for almost a month with no issues. He doesn’t seem to be chewing on it & it washes up nice.

Their ripstop material does not stop rips
I cannot say if this pad is chewproof as my dog is not a chewer. However, she does paw the bottom of her crate when she wants to exit quickly, for example, at meal times to get to her food bowl or to go outside and play ball. In doing so, she scratches the bottom of the crate. I have used several ripstop crate pads in the past. Even the ones which say they cannot be torn eventually get torn. Nothing lasts forever. That said, most of the ripstop crate pads I have used lasted at least 2 or 3 months. Some longer, but they are not cheap.I saw this and the price was really cheap. It seemed too good to be true. You know the old saying, if it seems to be too good to be true, it probably is. Okay, this pad was cheap and generally you get what you pay for. Needing a replacement and being low on funds, I wanted a stop gap pad to use until I got my paycheck. So I went for this one, thinking it would at least be good for a few weeks after which I could get a more expensive pad. But this pad LASTED LESS THAN ONE DAY, LASTED ONLY A FEW HOURS.My dog, a medium sized German Shepherd female, is not a continuouos crate scratcher but only does so at during those times I mentioned, and then for no more than 10 or 15 seconds. So I was stunned to find this pad torn apart only a few hours after putting it in her crate.Ralph Nader used to say of a car, “unsafe at any speed”…as for this crate pad, I would warn buyers, “not worth it at any price.” Caveat Emptor.

Sturdy but not chew-proof
I placed this in a[ wire Kennel for my dog. I was gone for an hour, and when I returned there was a 3″ hole in it right near the center. It is a sturdy canvas but not tough enough. She swallowed the nylon canvas, so now I don’t feel like I can leave pup alone with it.

She ate her one bed so I got this. Not only is it indestructible, but super easy to clean up the hair and she slept on it fine. Highly recommended.

J’ai récemment acheté le tapis Downtown Pet Supply pour mon animal de compagnie et je suis globalement très satisfait. Le tapis est de bonne qualité, confortable et semble durable. Mon animal l’a tout de suite adopté, ce qui est un excellent signe. De plus, il est facile à nettoyer, ce qui est un gros plus pour moi. La seule raison pour laquelle je ne donne pas 5 étoiles, c’est que j’aurais aimé qu’il soit un peu plus épais pour plus de confort. Malgré cela, je recommande ce tapis à tous les propriétaires d’animaux !Mon chien est un Rottweiller de 100 lbs.

Do you know if I had a dollar for every item I need to send back to Amazon I’d be rich. I’m really getting sick and tired of ordering things that are either too big or too small. We ordered one of these for a medium dog opened it up and we’d be lucky if it even fit a small dog or should I say smaller dog. What a waste of money now I’ve got a try to return it which is a pain in the butt and then re-order a larger one. on another dog bed I bought my dog the bed was way too big although I did choose for a medium dog I was like oh my God I need to tow this thing behind my truck anyway just me ranting. just getting tired of it. Well, I better also say though that the product seems sturdy and weatherproof which is good, so I guess that’s one good thing.
