The invention relates to a floor mat (1 ) to be used by at least one animal. In a mounted state, the floor mat (1 ) comprises an upper surface, which has a contact surface (6) with an animal, and a lower surface, which is arranged to be in a contact with an underlying surface. The contact surface (6) comprises a sub¬ stantially plane extension except in an area (1 1 ), which has an extension between a limit line (12) of the contact surface (6) and a side edge (5) of the mat (1 ). Said area (1 1 ) slopes downwardly from the limit line (12) towards the side edge (5) of the mat (1 ).
