Our muk mats are becoming increasingly popular to use as a pet mat. Dogs and cats love to rest and sleep on them. They are great to reduce the muk coming inside off their paws. They are also great to use in the car for your pet to sit on. Muk mats are not designed as toilet mats for your pets and will start to smell very quickly. If your pet is using your mat in this way, please refer to the cleaning and care instructions for your mat and maintain this on a regular as needs basis.
