Charlottechicken Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 Ooh, lovely! But how very naughty of you to post about it on here You know there will be a stampede!!! A turtle mat with a chicken on, that's just twice the reasons to buy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted October 17, 2013 Author Share Posted October 17, 2013 I actually think it's lovely and I don't usually like things with pictures on them. I have four turtle mats at home; two Mud Hogs outside the front and back doors, a mid-length blue Turtle Mat inside the front door and a long grey one inside the back door - they are wonderful at picking up dirt, the inside ones also help to dry off wet dog feet. Mud Hogs can be hosed off, and the indoor ones go in the washing machine... RESULT! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lavenders_Blue Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 That's lovely DM, can I find anywhere to put another Turtle Mat though I wonder? I have one by the front and back doors and a larger one by the French doors. Oh and a mud hog outside the back door. I love my Turtle Mats!

counturchickens Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 I had just bought one. We're just about finished renovating/ decorating our new house and I had seen the recommendations for turtle mats on here. When I went on the website I saw the cockerel design and couldn't resist. It is as nice in the flesh, so to speak! There's a nice duck design too..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Purplemaniacs Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 Oh DM you are naughty I need a new door mat but given the month we have had what with the burglary and OH's car's gearbox needing fixing it will have to go on the wish list.

LolaLayla Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 I had a bit of a problem with a Turtle mat. When I got mine (which is an oblong style) it had been folded in three and there was packaging to hold it in that position to allow it to be hung on a stand in the shop. I am not describing this very well but it was as it should have been displayed, as sent from the factory. At home I opened it out and there were two lumps where the folds had been. I thought it would flatten with time but although it did a bit you could still see the lump. I washed it but it was still there. I took it back to the shop and the owner washed and dried in in a large drier but there was little improvement. The owner eventually gave me another mat which was fine but what a hassle So if you get one keep your receipt! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lavenders_Blue Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 Oh dear that doesn't sound good. My Turtle Mats have all been delivered rolled up in a tube, which seems a sensible way to package them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yurii Posted October 24, 2023 Share Posted October 24, 2023 Yes, that Cockerel turtle mat really is marvellous. Although I can't find this mat on their website now for some reason. So I ordered another door mat from another company. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
