ULIGOTA Crate Pad, 24 x 18 in

The verdict

The useful thing about this one is the bottom. ULIGOTA describes a plush top over a waterproof base, which is the layer that decides whether an accident stops at the pad or reaches the crate tray and the floor under it. The maker gives 24 by 18 inches, states it is fully machine washable and says the shape holds after repeated washing, and lists more than twelve anti-slip dots on the underside. At that size it is a small-dog or small-crate pad and nothing else; measure the tray rather than the dog. Like every plush-topped pad it is a chew target, and the waterproof layer is a liner rather than armour — it manages a puddle, not a puppy who has decided to excavate.

Drawbacks

• 24 by 18 inches only — this is a small-crate pad
• A waterproof layer manages a puddle; it is not chew protection

Researched from the manufacturer’s listing, its published specifications and what owners report. We do not test products on dogs.

What the listing says

• Waterproof base, so an accident stops at the pad rather than the crate tray
• Machine washable whole, which is the only washing that happens at 6 a.m.
• Anti-slip dots underneath keep it from travelling in the crate
