FAQ
GENERAL
What are the pet yoga mats made from?
Our pet yoga mats are made from human-grade, textured, open-cell, odorless, high-density PVC foam; making them extremely resilient and durable with a long product life span. Our mats are completely latex free, lead free and free of heavy metals. Our mats are also 6P Phthalates Free which means they are manufactured free of the top 6 most harmful phthalates (DEHP, DBP, DNHP, BBP, DIDP, DINP) which makes it a healthier choice for your pet and the planet. Your pet’s body will be touching it so we always strive for safe materials.
How thick are the pet yoga mats?
Our pet yoga mats are extra thick and deluxe at 1/4” (over 6mm).
How do I get my dog or cat to use the pet yoga mat?
We find that most dogs and cats get on the mats right away ...especially if you already have a yoga mat or fitness mat at home. Some pets will even drag their mat to wherever they want to lay. But some pets may take a bit longer to become familiar with it. To help get your pet use to the mat, you can place treats, toys or a favorite blanket on the mat. For cats, you can also sprinkle or spray catnip on the mat to help entice them. You can also try placing the mat in one of their favorite spots or next to their beds. Check out the list of USES & BENEFITS for dogs and cats for more ideas.
CAUTION: THIS PRODUCT IS NOT A CHEW TOY AND IS NOT INTENDED FOR PETS THAT CHEW THINGS. Remove all packaging and tags before use. No toy is indestructible. Always supervise pet while in use. Do not allow pet to ingest any parts.
Can the yoga mats be used for other pets besides cats and dogs?
Yes! And we offer smaller yoga mats for other pets. Use it as a play mat for rabbits, ferrets, hamsters, gerbils, guinea pigs, chinchillas, rats, mice, sugar gliders, bearded dragons, iguanas, chameleons, geckos, skinks, anoles, snakes, turtles, tarantulas, hermit crabs and more.
No matter what type of pet you have: Always supervise pet while in use and do not allow pet to chew, gnaw or ingest any parts.
Can I order an unbranded mat?
Yes. Our mats feature the Pet Yogis "paw print OM" logo in white. However, if you would prefer a mat without a logo, you can request this in the box labeled "add a note to your order” during checkout.
SIZING
What size pet yoga mat should I buy for my pet?
There are many factors that can go into this decision including your pet’s height and length, their personality, the available space in your home and even your home’s décor. Below are suggested pet weight guidelines but your pet may be an exception. Be sure to also measure your pet to make sure the yoga mat size will work. For multi-pet households, you may prefer a larger mat if you have pets that like to lay together. If you have any questions about sizing, email us: info@petyogis.com
(*Please allow a 3/16" measure difference as all mats are hand measured, hand cut and hand rolled)

COLORS
What color mats do you offer?
For most mats, we offer 10 colors: Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Light Blue, Dark Blue, Purple, Black, Pink, White
(*Due to differences in digital displays, actual colors may appear slightly different from photos on screen)
Do dogs prefer a certain mat color?
Dog vision is quite different from human vision and they see colors differently than we do. It can be compared to color blindness in humans. Experts say that dogs see blues and yellows best but have difficuty in distinguishing reds from greens. Dogs also have blurrier vision than humans; this varies depending on breed. Therefore, brighter items may be preferred. Other dog parents have said their canines prefer red, pink or orange items. Of course, the color choice is ultimately yours (...or theirs!) but we do offer canine eye-catching colors in bright blue and bright yellow as well as many other colors.
Do cats prefer a certain mat color?
Cat eyesight is quite similar to human eyesight and they can see a bit more color than dogs. Studies have shown that cats see blues, greens and yellows best and can tell the difference between various shades of gray. It is believed that cats see the color red as gray. Other cat parents have told us their felines love black, red, pink or orange items.
There are plenty of examples of cats resting in places that match their fur color (i.e. black cats preferring to lay on black things, orange cats preferring to lay on orange things). Maybe it is a cat’s hunter instinct that makes them seek camouflaging spots so they blend in perfectly with their surroundings. Or perhaps it is the same color of their mother or sibling’s fur and they find that comforting. Who knows for sure!?!
Ultimately, the color choice is yours (...or theirs!) but we do offer feline eye-catching colors in bright blue, bright green and bright yellow along with many other color choices.
CARE INSTRUCTIONS
How do I clean / care for the mat?
Our pet yoga mats are EASY TO CLEAN! Use a cloth with cold water and mild soap or mild detergent to gently wipe down the mat. Be sure to wipe off all soapy residue. Dry flat or drip dry in the shade.
To help increase the lifespan of the mat:
- DO NOT put mat in a washing machine; throwing it in a washer can instantly ruin it
- DO NOT put mat in a dryer
- DO NOT leave mat in excessive cold or hot temperatures; mat may fade, become brittle and unusable if exposed to sun for extended periods of time
- DO NOT leave mat inside a vehicle on a hot day
- DO NOT use air fresheners or other commercial toxic cleaners on mat
- DO NOT use essential oils on mat as some can be toxic to animals
- DO NOT place mat under heat lamps or anything hot or warm
