How to Choose the Right Silicone Material for Pet Products
Read：80
A client called us last month asking the same question we hear at least twice a week: what actually goes into how to choose the right silicone material for pet products? It is a fair question. The answer is more nuanced than most suppliers will tell you.
Pet mats serve two purposes: keeping food off the floor and keeping the bowl in place. The lip height matters. Too low and water runs off onto the floor. Too high and it becomes a tripping hazard for small dogs. We settled on 0.6 inches after testing with 20 different breeds.
Color fading is a common complaint with cheap pet products. We use masterbatch coloring rather than surface printing, so the color goes all the way through. A bowl that started bright orange will still be bright orange after two years of daily use and washing.
There is no substitute for experience in this business. We have made enough mistakes over the years to know what to watch for, and we pass that knowledge on to every client. Lemeng Silicone offers full OEM and ODM services with the kind of quality control that gives you confidence in every shipment.
