LickiMat Classic Soother XL - Licking Mat for Large Dogs, Soft

Does your pet get anxious during baths, vet visits, or grooming salon sessions? Do they gulp down food as if they were in a race? Or perhaps they are a particularly active individual who often gets bored and causes problems as a result, such as destroying objects around them? If you answered yes to any of the above questions, the LickiMat Soother XL lick mat for large dogs, available in beautiful, vibrant colors and interesting designs, 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 friend. It is also a great way to have fun. Recommended by veterinarians, behaviorists, and breeders worldwide!

The LickiMat is a perfect product for four-legged food lovers who often struggle with excess weight. It allows you to serve a smaller amount of food, and your pet won't even notice, because the meal takes longer to finish than one served in a traditional way. Fewer calories per serving will make it easier to combat excess weight. 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.

LickiMat is also a way to serve a meal in an appealing form. You can put it in the microwave to warm up food on it. By placing 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 noticing. It is perfectly suited for serving food in solid, soft, or liquid form. Great for thick and sticky treats such as pâtés, wet food, special peanut butter for dogs, yogurt, mashed banana, or softened biscuits. A small rim around the mat prevents the contents from running off. Raised nubs on its surface massage your pet's tongue, providing additional sensory stimulation. 

When serving food on a 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 and satisfy their natural hunting instinct. These activities tire out your pet much faster than other forms of activity. This is especially important if your pet releases energy by, for example, destroying objects around them.
