VISTOP focuses on non-slip performance with a textured surface and anti-skid backing, making it particularly good for older or high-energy dogs who need traction; this technical advantage reduces slips and adds safety compared with smoother splash mats. It typically sits in the mid-price range, offering better grip than budget options like Peteast and more targeted functionality than foldable travel pads, though it may be smaller or less heavy-duty than KOOLTAIL.
