High-quality dog mats for every dog at SABRO

Frequently asked questions about dog mats

Which dog mat is best for my dog?

The best dog mat suits your dog’s needs—and your everyday life. For large or older dogs with joint problems, orthopedic dog mats like our JOKKMOKK are ideal because they provide optimal support for the body. For travel or the car, thinner, easily portable models like the HYGGE PAD or the RESOR travel mat are perfect. A suitable dog mat supports your four-legged friend’s well-being and strengthens your bond.

How can I tell if an orthopedic dog mat is good?

A high-quality orthopedic dog mat relieves pressure on the spine and joints, promotes circulation, and ensures restful sleep. For our JOKKMOKK mats, for example, we use memory foam that adapts perfectly to your pet’s body.

Which dog mat is suitable for outdoor use?

For the garden, patio, or camping, easy-care dog mats made from water-repellent and durable materials are ideal. For everyday trips to friends, dog training classes, or similar outings, we recommend our SKOLAN outdoor mat. If you’re looking for something for longer journeys, we recommend a thicker sleeping mat like the JOKKMOKK.

Can I also put a dog mat in the dog bed?

Yes – many of our mats, such as the HYGGE PAD or the MJUCK insert, are designed to fit perfectly in the KUDDE dog bed. This gives you a soft, washable insert and can further enhance your dog’s comfort while lying down.

How do I properly care for my SABRO dog mat?

Most SABRO dog mats have removable, washable covers. You can easily switch them while one cover is in the wash. Please do not clean the mat core in the washing machine—occasional airing keeps it fresh. We recommend cleaning it regularly—ideally once a week.

What size should my dog mat be?

Measure your dog when fully stretched out and choose a mat large enough for them to stretch out completely. In our shop, you’ll find a size chart with precise measurements in centimeters for every dog mat.

Are there dog mats for incontinent dogs?

Yes – we offer products with water-repellent or easily wipe-clean covers that are hygienic and easy to keep clean. For additional protection, you can also use suitable incontinence pads.

The perfect dog mat for the best sleep for your dog

Humans and animals have one thing in common: After a restful sleep, we feel fit and refreshed. Dogs sleep and doze for up to 18 hours a day – puppies and senior dogs even more than 20 hours – but spend only a small part of that time in deep sleep, which is especially important for their health and recovery. That is why the right spot where your dog can feel comfortable is particularly important.

For this reason, you should pay particular attention to your dog’s sleeping and resting place. It should not only be soft and cosy, but also provide orthopaedic support.

Just like a mattress for humans, a dog sleeping place should be species-appropriate and therefore ergonomically adapted to the animal. An orthopaedic dog bed provides optimal comfort, relieves pressure, and supports your dog’s spine – making it the ideal bed for dogs of every size.

Dogs’ health is important to us, which is why SABRO offers high-quality dog mats in various designs and sizes. Every dog has slightly different requirements for its sleeping place, so it is advisable to choose your dog’s sleeping place according to its needs.

The difference between dog mats and dog beds

There are countless sleeping places for dogs – but when choosing between a dog mat and a dog bed, the question often arises: What is the actual difference? And more importantly: Which one is best suited to your dog?

The requirements for the resting place vary depending on how it will be used:

Will it be used indoors or outdoors?
Will you be placing it on a cold stone floor, meaning it needs to be thicker and insulating against the cold?
Is the dog mat for the car or for use on the go?
Is your dog incontinent?

Dog mats are popular with many dogs because they can stretch out and lie comfortably on the soft surface. No edge gets in the way. A dog bed is an alternative for anxious dogs that like to snuggle up. But you can also equip the dog mat with a snuggle bolster for your dog to curl up against.

Together with a cosy dog blanket and dog cushion, any mat becomes your dog’s favourite sleeping spot, because dogs love nothing more than resting on a comfortable dog mat.

Dog mats – the flexible all-rounders

A dog mat is the uncomplicated option for anyone who likes things practical. It is flat, lightweight, and easy to take anywhere – whether in the car, on trips, or as a cosy pad in the dog bed. Ideal for dogs that like to stretch out and do not need or want a raised edge.

The advantages of a dog mat:

Perfect for travel
Space-saving & versatile
Flat sleeping surface for easy access

Dog beds—the cozy havens for cuddling

A dog bed is the luxury option for all furry friends who love feeling truly secure. Usually featuring a high edge that your dog can lean against or rest their head on, it provides security and protection.

The advantages of a dog bed:

Raised edge for leaning against and resting the head
Often with an additional insert cushion
Provides extra protection and security

Which option is right for your dog

The choice between a dog mat and a dog bed depends largely on how your dog sleeps, what they like—and, of course, what your everyday life looks like.

For travel & versatile use: If you travel a lot with your dog—whether by car, camping, or on vacation—a dog mat is unbeatable. It is lightweight, easy to roll up or store flat, and depending on the model, can be used both indoors and outdoors.
For home & maximum comfort: If your four-legged friend loves curling up, resting their head, and feeling completely secure, a dog bed is the better choice. The raised edge provides security, offers some protection from drafts, and is perfect for leaning against.

Always look for high-quality materials and orthopedic filling to ensure your dog’s joints receive optimal support—regardless of which option you choose.

What to look for when choosing the right dog mat

Not every dog mat is the same—and certainly not every one is suitable for every dog. Consider these points when making your choice:

Size & shape: Your dog should be able to stretch out comfortably without its paws or tail extending beyond the edge.
Material: Hypoallergenic fabrics are ideal for sensitive dogs and are gentle on their skin and respiratory system. Durable, easy-care covers make everyday cleaning easier and keep the mat looking great for a long time. Removable, washable covers make care particularly easy. Also look for certification labels such as OEKO-TEX® Standard 100, which guarantee that the materials have been tested for harmful substances and are safe for dogs and people.
Comfort: Soft yet supportive materials are ideal. For older dogs or those with joint problems, an orthopedic sleeping surface with memory foam is recommended.
Ease of care: Ideally, the covers should be removable and washable—preferably machine-washable.
Place of use: Consider whether the dog mat will be used indoors, outdoors, in the car, or at home. Depending on this, choosing the right materials is important.
Color and design: The new resting place should also match your home visually. Choose a mat that blends harmoniously into your living space or also looks great in the car and on the terrace, so both dog and owner are happy.

With the right dog mat, you provide your dog not only with a comfortable place to rest, but also with optimal support for its joints, bones, and muscles.

Tip: Many manufacturers in Germany now place importance on sustainability and use environmentally friendly materials for their products. When buying, look for relevant information if protecting the environment and resources is important to you. Customer reviews and product descriptions will help you make the best choice for your dog and your home.

How to find the right size for a dog mat

The right size is crucial to ensuring that your dog lies comfortably and healthily. Too small—and your dog will have to curl up even though it would like to stretch out. Too large—and the resting place will feel uncomfortable or take up unnecessary space. A small terrier needs significantly less space than a German Shepherd. Our mats are suitable for dogs of all breeds and offer the right size for every breed.

Here’s how:

Taking measurements: Measure your dog from the tip of its nose to the base of its tail, preferably while standing.
Compare with the size chart: Now take the measurement you determined and compare it with the size chart for your desired product. Important: Make sure your dog is smaller than the dog mat’s dimensions. This is the only way your dog will later be able to stretch out fully and relieve its spine.

You will find every dog mat in several sizes. The product description always includes a practical size chart with measurements in centimeters and example breeds. This makes it quick and easy to find your way around.

Some dog mats can be combined with a dog bed. Used as an insert, they provide a soft sleeping surface and can be washed easily.

Hygiene and care of dog mats

Proper hygiene and care of dog mats are essential for your dog’s health and well-being. Clean dog mats not only provide a comfortable place to sleep, but also protect your four-legged friend from bacteria, germs, and unpleasant odors. Especially when dogs spend a lot of time outdoors or relax on their mat in the garden after a walk, dirt and moisture quickly accumulate.

The right way to clean

The dog mat should be cleaned regularly—ideally once a week. Many modern dog mats and dog beds have removable covers that you can simply wash in the washing machine. Always check the manufacturer’s care instructions before washing to ensure the materials remain attractive and functional for a long time. Especially with high-quality products from Germany, you will often find detailed instructions on how to care for your dog mat properly.
After cleaning, it is important to dry the mat thoroughly. It is best to let it air-dry or dab it with a clean cloth to prevent moisture and mold from forming.
