Full details
The Purely Home Dachshund Pet Mat and Bowl Set is an ideal solution for Dachshund owners seeking a blend of whimsical style and functional mess-containment during mealtime. This set includes two durable ceramic bowls and a themed non-slip mat featuring artwork by Rhiannon Chauncey, offering a dedicated dining station that protects floors from splashes and spills, though the specific 'Property of the Dachshund' design may feel niche for owners of other breeds.

FAQs
Are the bowls microwave safe?
While the ceramic is durable, we recommend hand washing or standard dishwasher use; avoid using these in a microwave to protect the integrity of the artistic print.
Can I put the mat in the tumble dryer?
No, you should air dry the mat. High heat from a tumble dryer can damage the rubber backing and cause the mat to warp.
What are the exact dimensions of the bowls?
The food bowl is 15cm in diameter and 5.8cm high; the water bowl is 18cm in diameter and 8cm high.
Is the mat waterproof?
The mat has a fabric top to absorb spills, while the rubber base prevents liquid from seeping through to your floor.
Can this set be used for cats?
While designed for Dachshunds, the bowl sizes are appropriate for most domestic pets, though the mat's decorative slogan is specific to dogs.
Troubleshooting
The mat slides on polished hardwood or tile floors.
Ensure both the floor and the rubber underside of the mat are clean and free of dust or lint, as debris can significantly reduce the non-slip grip.
The artwork on the bowls is fading.
Avoid using harsh scouring pads or abrasive detergents in the dishwasher; use a mild, eco-friendly dishwasher tablet.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Decorative and aesthetically pleasing design
- Non-slip base keeps the feeding area in one place
- Dishwasher-safe ceramic ensures hygienic feeding
- Comprehensive set includes everything needed for a dining station
Cons
- The 'Property of the Dachshund' branding is breed-specific
- Handwashing or delicate machine cycles are required for the mat
- Ceramic is breakable if dropped on hard surfaces
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setting up the station is straightforward: place the non-slip mat on a level, dry surface and position the bowls on top. For routine maintenance, simply place the ceramic bowls in your dishwasher alongside your regular dishware. To clean the mat, use a gentle machine cycle at a low temperature to preserve the integrity of the rubber backing and the fabric top. Do not use abrasive scrubbers on the artwork, as this may degrade the printed design over time. Ensure the floor is completely dry before placing the rubber-backed mat down to ensure the best anti-slip performance.
