LickiMat Mini Tuff Soother - Durable Licking Mat for Small Dogs, Nub Pattern

LickiMat Mini Tuff Soother lick mat for small dogs, available in beautiful, vibrant colors with an interesting design. It is a way to serve a meal in an attractive form. You can place an unpalatable medication or dietary supplement on it, and your pet, busy licking the tasty contents, will swallow it without even noticing. It is perfectly suited for serving food in solid, soft, or liquid form. It works great with thick and sticky treats such as pâtés, wet food, special dog-safe peanut butter, yogurt, mashed banana, or softened biscuits. The raised ridges on the mat's surface massage your pet's tongue, providing additional sensory stimulation. To add extra fun on hot summer days, you can freeze the contents. And if your dog doesn't like cold food, you can gently warm it up in the microwave. Non-slip feet prevent the mat from sliding on the floor.

The mat will provide your pet with an engaging activity, and prolonged licking will release feel-good hormones, helping to cope with stress and anxiety. It will calm down even the most energetic and excitable pet. It is also a great way to have fun. Recommended by veterinarians, behaviorists, and breeders worldwide! By 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. They tire the animal out much faster than other forms of activity. This is especially important if your pet tends to release energy by, for example, destroying objects around the house.

It is also an ideal product for four-legged food lovers who often struggle with excess weight. With this mat, you can serve a smaller amount of food, and your pet won't even notice, because the meal takes longer than one served in a traditional way. Fewer calories per serving make it easier to manage 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.
