LickiMat 8"X8" Pack of 2 Slow Feeder for Dogs Boredom & Anxiety Reducer for Food Treats Yogurt Peanut Butter Fun Alternative to a Slow Feed Dog Bowl Classic Dog Buddy & Soother (Green & Orange)

I noticed that my elderly dog wanted to use the mat my younger dog uses so I bought her one of her own. It had gotten to the point that she wouldn’t eat her food out of her bowl anymore and only wanted the lick mat. Since using it, she’s eating all of her food on her own mat. I even put the kibble on the mat along with wet food and she eats it all.

Love these lick mats! Allow your dog to stay busy while you are doing a variety of things like baths, trimming nails, grooming, and just to help destress and calm your dog. Highly recommend!

The good news was that the mats are attractive, well made and generously sized. Both of my dogs loved their mat and licking the peanut butter off kept them busy longer than I would have thought. I was able to apply medication inside the ear of one dog (something he hates) with much less fuss. The bad news is that I had a very difficult time getting the peanut butter residue off of the mat with the cross pattern although the one that consisted of a lot of little prongs came clean easily. I wish these could go through the dishwasher. Despite this complaint, I would buy this product again but I would be careful about the design.

My 3rd set of these!!! My dog loves them, keeps him busy for 20 minutes! So, I love them too!!I mix peanut butter, yogurt, and pumpkin! Spread it and freeze it! Happy dog happy Mum!!!

My dog loves this. It’s a great way to distract him for a little bit or just give him something to do.

Used once - after she licked all the peanut butter she could she then chewed the mat -

Great distraction for my Aussie!

So...we have a barking problem. When there's a knock on the door and then for many, many minutes after our guest has arrived, little Charlie barks at them. The initial barking is a good thing...but the continued, not so great. Our training method is working! We hold Charlie back or pick him up at the initial knock on the door, and tell him he's a good boy (for alerting us of "danger"). Once the guest is in, we remove the lick mat from the freezer (where it's stored with a delicious pâté of some sort smeared on). We then deposit the mat and Charlie behind a baby gate a distance away (where he can still observe us), and allow Charlie to lick his yummy mat (positive association) while the "danger" speaks pleasantly and does us no harm. This seems to be quieting Charlie down! He's now starting to run to the lick mat area a few moments after guests arrive. For this purpose, the lick mat is helping tremendously.
