Pet Slip Risk Map
List the areas your pet walks through, with the floor and size of each, and see which are the most slippery and how many mats would cover them.
Rank the areas
This ranks the areas of your home where a dog or cat is most likely to slip, using the floor, how often the pet walks there, mats, thresholds and turns. It does not judge health or joints. Everything is worked out on this device and nothing is sent.
Example
For a senior dog, a 400 × 100 cm tiled hallway it walks often scores 5 (high), and a partly covered 500 × 400 cm wooden living room with a sofa to jump on scores 3 (medium). With 60 × 90 cm mats the hallway needs 5 mats and the living room path 6. Press “Load an example” to try it.
How it works
Each area gets points: the floor (tile 3, wood 2, vinyl 1, carpet 0), minus 2 or 1 for mats that mostly or partly cover it, plus 1 for being walked often (minus 1 for rarely), plus 1 each for quick turns, jumping and a step of 2 cm or more, and plus 1 for a senior pet. 4 or more is high, 2 to 3 is medium and below that is low.
The mat count covers a path up to 60 cm wide along the pet’s route with the mat size you entered. The tool does not judge illness or joints. If your pet slips often or limps, see a vet first.
Frequently asked questions
What counts as a threshold?
Any raised edge or step the pet has to cross, such as a door sill. Enter its height; steps of 2 cm (about 1 in) or more add a point.
Why do carpets score zero?
Carpet and rugs give paws something to grip, so they are treated as the least slippery floor. Check that a rug itself does not slide.
Does it replace advice from a vet?
No. It only ranks where the floor and layout make slipping more likely. A pet that falls often or limps needs a vet first.
