We have the horse stall mat that Will linked to in the back of our car kennels. One of our mechanically savvy guys cut it for us with a sawzall. It’s heavy… but easy to clean and the grooves underneath tend to keep underneath pretty dry even after water slops under it.
My question is this: The mat produces a very potent scent. I assume it’s the industrial rubber (resorted tires to be accurate) however whatever the reason may be I want to get a confirmation from you that it is all right to use in the environment of a small puppy. The scent is so potent that I am afraid it may harm the pup's sensitive sniffing ability or maybe even jeperdise its health in other ways.
Also wanted to know if anyone here on the forum had experienced a similar phenomena when using those mats?
The strong odor does dissipate after a short period of time and it did not bother my dog, although he was about 5 months old when we first purchased the mat. My car did smell funny for few days (the mat stayed in the car a few days) and when we first put the mat inside the kennel in the house we noticed the odor for a short period of time. It was not a permanent problem.
I used a clamping wrench (sorry guys, don't know the correct term...) to move it around and that worked perfectly and a sharp razor knife cut it easily.
