Quick absorption and a waterproof backing make the Drymate dog crate mat perfect for kennel training or transporting your pet. The Drymate material is made with Zorb-Tech anti-flow technology. In plain English, this means messes from house training or car sick pets are absorbed and contained quickly, reducing the amount of mess that ends up on your pet. The non-slip backing holds the mat firmly in place so your pets are safer during travel. This dog crate mat can be used under a kennel too to protect floors from scratches.
