LickiMat Tuff Buddy - Dog Licking Mat, Firm, Cross Pattern

Does your pet get anxious during baths, vet visits, or grooming salon sessions? Do they gulp down food as if they're in a race? Or perhaps they're an especially active individual who gets bored easily and causes problems as a result, such as destroying objects around them? If you answered yes to any of the above questions, the LickiMat Tuff Buddy licking mat for dogs and cats, 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 cope with stress and anxiety. It will calm down even the most energetic and spirited four-legged friend. It's also a great way to have fun. Recommended by veterinarians, behaviorists, and breeders worldwide!

The LickiMat is the 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 than one served in a traditional way. Fewer calories per serving 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 meals 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'll 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. Great for thick and sticky treats such as pâtés, wet food, special dog peanut butter, yogurt, mashed banana, or softened biscuits. The mat's rigid structure makes it easy to carry along with its contents. The cross-shaped ridges form a labyrinth pattern, allowing you to separate different types of food from one another. They massage your pet's tongue, providing additional sensory stimulation. Non-slip feet prevent the mat from sliding on the surface.

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 the animal much faster than other forms of activity. This is especially important if your pet releases energy by, for example, destroying objects around them.
