Dog settle mat size guide

Try a 100 × 70 cm towel where your dog likes to lie. You’ll see how much room they have before you choose a print.

Their resting space

  1. Let them get comfortable. Wait until they’re lying down in a position they naturally choose.
  2. Measure their resting space. Check the length and width they take up, allowing for paws and a stretch.
  3. Compare with 100 × 70 cm. Mark that rectangle on the floor if it helps. Their resting footprint is more useful than their breed name.

How to use a dog settle mat

  1. Start at home

    Pick a quiet room and put the mat down somewhere calm.

  2. Reward relaxing

    Treat them for lying down and settling on it, not for rushing on and off.

  3. Try new places slowly

    A friend’s house or a quiet café first, for a short visit.

  4. Take it to the pub

    When they settle easily, the familiar mat comes with you.

Your questions, answered.

Will my dog fit on it?

The mat is 100 × 70 cm. If you’re not sure, lay a towel about that size where your dog likes to sleep and see how they lie on it.

How do I clean it?

For everyday mud, wipe the printed side with a damp cloth. For a full clean, the whole Bag to Mat goes in the washing machine.

Is it waterproof?

The printed side is waterproof, so it goes face down on damp grass or a wet floor. The soft fleece side is for your dog.

Can it go in the car?

Yes. Unfold it to keep mud and hair off the upholstery. Use a suitable travel restraint as well. See the dog seat belt and our adjustable harnesses.

Can I use it for settle training?

Yes. Practise at home first, rewarding them for lying down and relaxing on the mat. Then build up to short visits somewhere quiet.
