LickiMat Classic Buddy Cat - Soft Licking Mat for Cats

Does your cat get anxious during baths, vet visits, or grooming salon appointments? Does it gulp down food as if competing in a race? Or perhaps it's a particularly active individual that gets bored easily and causes problems as a result, such as destroying objects around the house? If you answered yes to any of these questions, the LickiMat Classic Buddy Cat lick mat, available in beautiful, vibrant colors and with an interesting design, should find a place in your home. It will provide your pet with an engaging activity, and prolonged licking will release feel-good hormones, helping to manage stress and anxiety. It will calm down even the most energetic and spirited four-legged companion. It's also a great way to have fun. Recommended by veterinarians, behaviorists, and breeders worldwide!

The LickiMat is a perfect product for feline food lovers that often struggle with excess weight. It allows you to serve a smaller amount of food without your pet even noticing, as the meal takes longer to finish than one served in a traditional way. Fewer calories per serving make it easier to combat obesity. Licking food off the mat stimulates the salivary glands to produce more saliva. This increases appetite in picky eaters and helps keep your pet's teeth, gums, and tongue in good condition. The mat prevents food residue from remaining in your pet's mouth, thereby reducing bacterial buildup and the development of unpleasant odor.

The LickiMat is also a way to serve meals in an appealing form. You can place it in the microwave to heat up food on it. By putting it with its contents in the freezer, you can give your pet plenty of fun and a refreshing cool-down on hot summer days. You can place a not-so-tasty medication or dietary supplement on it, and your pet, busy licking up the delicious contents, will swallow it without even noticing. It is perfectly suited for serving food in solid, soft, or liquid form. The cross-shaped embossing that forms a labyrinth pattern allows you to separate different types of food. It works great for thick and sticky treats such as pâtés, wet food, yogurt, mashed banana, or softened biscuits. The textured nubs also massage your pet's tongue, providing additional sensory stimulation. 

When serving food on the LickiMat, you will certainly notice a change in your pet's behavior. Licking and sniffing activities have a calming and soothing effect on your pet's nervous system. They tire the animal out much faster than other forms of activity. This is especially important if your pet releases energy by, for example, destroying objects around it.
