WHY USE A DOG GROOMING MAT? A Guide to Grooming Table Mats
If you’re a professional dog groomer, you’ll know how important it is for a dog to feel secure and comfortable on the grooming table. Stainless steel and other hard grooming-table surfaces are practical and easy to clean, but they can also feel cold, hard and slippery underneath a dog’s paws.A dog grooming table mat provides a softer, more secure surface for dogs to stand on while they are being groomed. For groomers working with several dogs each day, a good grooming mat can be a simple addition to the salon that makes the grooming table more comfortable and practical.
What is a dog grooming table mat?
A dog grooming mat is a non-slip, cushioned mat designed to sit on top of a grooming table.Unlike ordinary household mats, a grooming table mat needs to cope with the realities of a busy grooming environment. It should provide grip beneath the paws while being comfortable, durable and easy to clean between dogs.A good grooming mat should also stay securely in position rather than moving around the table while you're working.
Why do groomers use non-slip mats?
Dogs don't always feel completely confident on a grooming table, particularly puppies, older dogs and dogs that aren't accustomed to being professionally groomed.A smooth table can make it harder for them to find secure footing. Adding a non-slip grooming mat gives their paws a textured surface to stand on and can help them feel steadier.This can be particularly useful when a dog changes position during clipping, brushing or drying.For the groomer, having a dog standing comfortably and securely can make the whole grooming process easier too.A softer surface for paws and joints. Professional grooming appointments can involve dogs standing for a reasonable amount of time.A cushioned grooming mat provides a softer surface than a bare grooming table, which can be particularly welcome for older dogs or dogs that simply find hard surfaces uncomfortable.Thickness matters here. A mat needs enough cushioning to make a noticeable difference without becoming so soft that the dog feels unstable.
What should you look for in a grooming table mat?
When choosing a mat for a dog grooming table, there are a few things worth considering:
Non-slip surface – texture helps dogs maintain their footing.
Cushioning – provides a more comfortable surface than a bare table.
Suitable size – the mat should cover a useful proportion of your grooming table without getting in your way.
Easy cleaning – particularly important when the mat is being used for multiple dogs.
Durability – grooming equipment gets used frequently, so the material needs to cope with everyday salon life.
Water resistance – useful around wet dogs and during cleaning.
What size grooming mat do I need?
This will depend on the size of your grooming table and the dogs you usually groom.You don't necessarily need to cover every centimetre of the table. The important thing is providing enough space for the dog to stand comfortably with its paws on the mat.For reference, Groompad measures 90 × 60 cm and is 1 cm thick, making it suitable for many standard professional grooming-table setups.
Are grooming mats just for professional groomers?
Not at all.Although grooming mats are particularly useful in professional salons, they can also be used by people who groom their own dogs at home.If you're using a grooming table regularly, adding a cushioned non-slip surface can make it considerably more comfortable for the dog.A small change to your grooming setup.
