What is a Dog Lick Mat?

Simply apply your dog's favorite recipe spread, such as peanut butter or yogurt, deep into the grooves of your lick mat, and watch as they enjoy a delicious and stimulating treat. For an extra challenge, freeze the lick mat and turn it into a refreshing summer treat that your pup will love. Our lick mats are made with durable, easy-to-clean materials and come in a variety of shapes and sizes to suit any breed or appetite.

Benefits of Lick Mats & Puzzle Bowls for Dogs

1

Mind Games

Adds a fun challenge to mealtime, providing mental stimulation. Regular bowls do not provide a brain exercise or good eating habits.

2

Healthy Digestion & Mouth

Encourages taking time to enjoy food, aiding digestion and nutrient absorption. The act of licking can help clean the tongue, improving oral hygiene and resulting in fresher breath.

3

Stress Reduction

Licking releases endorphins, helping to calm and soothe your dog, making lick mats especially useful during stressful situations like thunderstorms or fireworks.

4

Durable and Lasting

Crafted from high-quality rubber in North America, these mats are designed to withstand the long run, offering long-lasting fun and value for money. Dishwasher safe.

4 Easy Dog Lick Mat Recipes

Choosing The Right Enrichment Mat

Rubber Lick Mat

A lick mat is a textured rubber mat designed to spread soft foods and treats across its surface. This innovative tool encourages dogs to lick and savor their treats slowly, which not only prolongs their enjoyment but also has calming effects. Licking releases endorphins, promoting relaxation and reducing anxiety. Moreover, the consistent licking aids in cleaning the dog's tongue and stimulating saliva production, benefiting dental health.

Nylon Puzzle Bowl

Puzzle bowls are intricately designed feeding tools that turn mealtime into a brain-engaging game for dogs. With various compartments and obstacles, these bowls challenge dogs to think and strategize in order to access their food. This design inherently slows down their eating pace, minimizing the risk of rapid consumption and subsequent issues like bloating. Made often from durable plastic, they also cater to different levels of canine intelligence and curiosity, ensuring meals are both fun and mentally stimulating.
