LICKIMAT Buddy Treat Mat , Assorted colors

Product Information

The little divots and curved bowl are great for wet ingredients, and the shape is a great option for raw feeders since the contents of the bowl is more contained. Maybe you’ve tried other lick mats that didn’t quite hold up when your dog was really in the mood for food.

Our favorite lick mat is the Mighty Paw Dog Lick Pad, which is made from food-grade silicone, has heavy-duty suction cups for sticking to any surface, and provides four different interactive textures for your dog to lick. All three surfaces are suitable for raw, wet, dry and liquid dog food, as well as any manner of treat. Lightly mix or pour raw egg onto the lick mat, allowing your dog to enjoy the novelty of licking up the egg. The depth of the pad means that you can pack in more of their favorite treat and extend the time it takes them to finish licking. If your dog gets bored, fidgety or scared when they are being groomed or cleaned, a lick mat could come in handy.

It comes with two separate patterns so you can test which pattern your dog likes better or if you have two dogs, then both dogs can get in on the fun. Licki Mat Splash is an attachable Licki Mat with a suction cup designed to attach to smooth wall surfaces and bath tubs. Ideally you should apply a wet food first such as peanut butter (dog friendly), yoghurt or cream cheese. Using this mat frequently with their favourite treats will help reassure them when in a stressful situation. One of the largest distributors of Lick Mats is by the LickiMat company, who've created multiple types of lick mats for different occasions and needs.

One area is made of a large waffle pattern that allows for easy licking, while another features densely packed nubs which means your dog will have to work harder and longer to lick up their food, which provides a great distraction. One great tip when it comes to lick mats is to place the mat inside a baking tray or tin when feeding. So while treats like cottage cheese are generally good for dogs, we don’t want to give so much that excess calcium in their diet becomes a problem. Plain, unsweetened yogurt can provide a creamy and enjoyable experience for dogs while offering probiotics that promote digestive health.They will still need physical exercises such as walks, playtime, or training sessions to help tire them out. Plus, each mat has suction cups on the back to stick on a wall or floor, but the suction may fade with repeated use. You can try out each section, one at a time, or cover the whole mat in food and let your dog enjoy the challenge that each quadrant brings to their mealtime. It needs to be something the dog likes and will be determined to get the most of, so you should pick what your dog will be drawn to.
