Dog LickiMat: how to use it to keep your dog busy and calm?

The dog lick mat is a simple, yet very useful accessory to enrich your dog's daily life. It allows you to spread pâté, wet food, a suitable puree, or a creamy treat to encourage the dog to lick slowly.

Why does licking help dogs?

Licking is a repetitive activity that provides mental stimulation. Many dogs enjoy it during calm moments, after a walk, or when they need to wait. This is not a toy to leave unsupervised if the dog tends to chew vigorously.

When to use it?

• To slow down wet food consumption.
• To keep a puppy occupied for a few minutes.
• To distract during brushing.
• To offer a quiet indoor activity.
• To cool down in summer after freezing.

Choosing the right topping

Only use food suitable for dogs. A small amount is sufficient. The goal is not to overload their meal, but to provide an engaging activity. For a sensitive dog, it's best to stick to ingredients they already tolerate.

Cleaning and safety

After use, the mat should be thoroughly washed to avoid residues. Also, check its condition regularly. If it's damaged, it's best to replace it.
