LickiMat Buddy X Lick Mat for Dogs

LickiMat is a licking mat. It seems simple but it is a very useful and beneficial element for our dogs. Made of TPR (thermoplastic rubber), BPA free and suitable for freezer and dishwasher.

The LickiMat works as an interactive feeder, which also works as a slow eater, since your dog will have to lick the entire surface to get the food.

The LickiMat Buddy XL model is presented with crosses all over its surface. It is very flexible, light and has a non-slip base. Food is smeared on this surface and spread everywhere to make it difficult to get to. To make it more difficult, you can put the rug in the freezer for a couple of hours before giving it to her.

You can use wet food, crushed barf or small pieces, natural snacks (yogurt, frozen kefir, crushed fruits and vegetables, peanut butter, etc.) or their own feed moistened and made into a paste so you can spread it.

Benefits of using Lickimat
The essential function of the LickiMat is to make your dog eat slowly and enjoy the process. Building on this base, we can add more secondary benefits. By eating slowly, our dog will have better digestion (by producing more saliva and eating more slowly), we reduce greed and make it relax at mealtime. It also has behavioral advantages, since it reduces boredom, increases self-confidence just by eating on very different surfaces than usual, it is a great ally of environmental enrichment and the fact that he has to lick, produces a relaxing sensation. You can use a LickiMat circuit, using different models, to cover your mental needs for a day. Having to get the food generates a necessary mental stimulation for your dog. All this translates into a lower predisposition to present behavioral problems and an improvement in the quality of life of our furry companion.
