Croi Pet
Selected high-durability, food-grade silicone mats customized for the fast-evolving pet wellness sector in Colombia.
Over the last decade, Colombia has experienced an unprecedented shift in pet ownership dynamics. In major urban centers such as Bogotá, Medellín, Cali, and Barranquilla, pets are no longer treated merely as domestic guards but as essential family members ("hijos de cuatro patas"). According to industry analysis, over 4.5 million households in Colombia include at least one pet, pushing the demand for premium pet care and wellness products to all-time highs.
A primary growth driver in this market is veterinary awareness regarding canine and feline gastrointestinal issues. Rapid food consumption (gulping) leads directly to gastric dilatation-volvulus (GDV)—commonly known as bloat—as well as choking, regurgitation, and obesity. In Colombia's high-altitude urban centers like Bogotá, dogs often experience altered breathing patterns during digestion. This has led veterinarians nationwide to recommend flexible silicone slow feeding mats. These structured mats force pets to work for their food, turning dry kibble, raw diets (BARF), or wet food meals into interactive mental exercises that extend feeding times by up to 5x to 10x.
Navigating the import landscape in South America requires a highly certified partner. Qingdao Croi Pet Co., Ltd. stands out as a leading China pet feeding innovation factory. Located in the industrial port city of Qingdao, we leverage advanced cleanroom silicone injection molding technologies to manufacture products that satisfy the strict chemical parameters set by ICA (Instituto Colombiano Agropecuario) and international food safety bodies. Our mats utilize 100% vulcanized food-grade silicone that remains non-toxic, lead-free, phthalate-free, and highly resilient in tropical climates without releasing chemical off-gassing.
Designed to withstand temperatures ranging from -40°C up to 230°C. Perfect for sanitizing in boiling water or dishwashers, making them ideal for raw diet preparation.
Featuring matrices of high-strength suction cups on the bottom surface, preventing slippage on typical Colombian tile, hardwood, and laminate flooring.

Successful commercial distribution in Colombia requires tailoring your offerings to specific local scenarios and pet care trends:
Colombia is a regional leader in adopting BARF (Alimentación Cruda) diets for pets. Traditional plastic bowls are porous and prone to bacterial accumulation, making them unsuitable for raw feeding. Silicone flexible mats feature complex, textured structures that hold ground raw meat, yogurt, and pumpkin purees securely. The non-porous nature of high-quality silicone prevents biological residues from embedding, allowing pet owners to maintain sterile feeding spaces.
In high-temperature, humid cities like Cali, Barranquilla, and Cartagena, food left out can quickly attract ants and other insects. Our premium silicone mats feature integrated spill-guard lips and heavy-duty suction bases. This design allows owners to secure the mats to floors or vertical glass surfaces (such as sliding balcony doors), elevating wet food to keep it clean and insect-free.
Loud sounds like firework displays during festive periods (such as Las Velitas or New Year's Eve) are common in Colombia. Licking releases endorphins in dogs and cats, helping to soothe and calm them. Spreading peanut butter or wet treats onto our textured silicone mats helps distract and calm pets during high-stress moments, making these mats highly sought-after tools for local veterinary clinics and dog behaviorists.
