Will a dog walking on this mat puncher holes in it easily? I am talking about just walking on it not clawing at it or rough play. Is it pretty durabl

I have a Doberman and we actually purchased this item to go in our mud room where his bed is. It is very durable and his giant toe nails have yet to puncture it. It wipes clean easily too!

I would say no. I stepped on it with heels accidentally and it didn't puncture it.

Yes it is pretty durable, walking on it is just fine. They can chew it or claw at it... our dog tried digging it and ended up making chunks come off but if he didn't do that it would be fine.

Yes it's durable. A dog's claws probably wouldn't poke thru walking across. My cat does scratch and knead it and that does mess it up :)

Our 63 lb dog pounces and even "digs" on ours and there are indentions but no holes. I always have a blanket thrown over it anyway because I like to pick up & throw in wash. Easy to keep clean that way for our toddler. Have had it about a year and couldn't be happier.

I have hard wood floors in my kitchen and I have not had any problems since I purchased about 10 months ago. The only thing I find is when the dog lays on it some how it seems to move a bit, I guess because the dog tries to get cozy on the mat. It is easy to spot clean and I just live it a lot in front of the sink when I have to stand and yes sometimes wash dishes or wine glasses.

We have one beagle who doesn't really play on them, but we haven't kept him off of them. He walks on them and lays on them often. The mats have a texture to the top anyway, so I think you wouldn't notice scratches too much. It would be easy to spot clean each mat when it got a mess on it too. I say it's worth a try.

The carpet on it is very slippery. At first I wrapped the carpet pieces (they have Velcro on them that sticks to ramp) with the stuff you put under your rugs to keep them in place. That worked really well, but I have a pig and he liked to chew on it. I ended up taking carpet pieces off completely and replacing with a cheap thin doormat cut to size. It works really well and my pig's hooves have no problem with the traction now. The ramp itself is sturdy and conveniently folds up.

We do not have ours on a mat. It sits on outdoor carpeting with no padding. We like it just fine that way, and feel that padding might be excessive.

My dog uses the bed regularly and tends to use his paws to settle in and dig at it a bit to get it "just right". It hasn't ripped yet several months in. Not sure how sharp your dog's nails are though, but I would guess your pretty safe.

My dog scratched the wood floor trying to dig his way out. Rug didn't work either. It does however, work great on the patio and I put two 20 lbs. dogs in it and they do fine. One is an escape artist, but hasn't been able to figure a way out, so it is working great so far.

Our cat walks on this all the time and we have had no problems. She does not scratch the furniture much so I don't know how affective it is against that. The material is a bit slippery (but stays in place due to the straps) so it may resist a scratching cat.

The plastic seems pretty tough, but it has that brushed fabric feel to it. Cats claws may go through it, but I doubt a dog's claws will - unless they're really determined.

It's a firm rubber material which has quite some weight to it. Still able to be kicked and bounced but may be too much for small to medium dogs.

If the dog doesnt dig or claw much and you have a pillowcase over it that he cant get the mat out of, it prob be okay...but if he can get it out of the case or chews, I would not recommend..the gel may be poisonous...

My dogs have been scratching at it and it hasn't hurt the mmaterial at all. I have been using it daily since I received it and haven't had any problems the material is very sturdy. .I have a 4 & 11 year old that have been climbing in and out it as well playing and still no problems.

We have a Springer Spaniel that is super active and jumpy. We haven't had any issues with durability with her...we put the bed in a corner. She does not chew the bed however and a big chewer could certainly chew through this one. The one thing that I don't like about the bed is that the cover on the pad of the bed is of very low quality and doesn't fit the pad well. We are looking for a replacement cover.

Not really suitable for punching leather unless it's relatively thin and quite stiff.As far as durability, yes, it'll punch thousands of holes before you'll wear out the dies or the handles.

If the mat develops a hole... The anti static barrier is of course breached... So the mat would be compromised. Also if you have to ask that, you probably should have someone help you with the work. Might cost you more in the long run- careful & good luck.

This isn't really an outside doormat. I have it on the inside of our doggy door. It is not hard and rugged like doormats. It very soft and my dogs like it as another place to lay. It does holds up well to being laundered. I use it to help catch water if their paws are wet.

It all depends on how heavy the material is that you plan to grind. If it's large and/or heavy the unit will walk on the surface it's sitting on. Small things present no walking problem for me. Simple solution, secure it to the work surface then you don't have to worry.
