PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a mat for pet care, the mat that reduces the likelihood of staining of a pet body even in the occurrence of excretion by an old bedridden pet for example and that effectively prevents a bedsore.SOLUTION: A mat 1 for pet care is composed of an elastic mat 2 made of a three-dimensional net-like structure that excels in permeability of air, and water and a waterproof sheet 3 on which the elastic mat 2 is placed. The elastic mat is used without covering with a cover 23 at least a part of the three-dimensional net-like structure. The three-dimensional net-like structure is made by fusion-extruding thermoplastic elastomer or thermoplastic resin to form a continuous striated body, then by making this fused continuous striated body meandered to form a random loop, and by depositing the adjacent filaments with each other in a fused state.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 5COPYRIGHT: (C)2017,JPO&INPIT【課題】老齢などによって寝たきりのペットが排泄してもペットの体が汚れにくく、褥瘡になりにくいペット介護用マットを提供する。【解決手段】通気性及び透水性に優れた三次元網状構造体からなる弾性マット2と、前記弾性マット2が載置される防水シート3とで構成されるペット介護用マット1であって、前記弾性マットは前記三次元網状構造体の少なくとも一部をカバー23で覆わずに使用される。三次元網状構造体は、熱可塑性エラストマーや熱可塑性樹脂を溶融押出して連続線条体を形成し、ついでこの溶融状態の連象線条を曲がりくねらせてランダムループを形成し、隣接する線条相互を溶融状態で溶着させてなるものである。【選択図】図5
