LickiMat Soother - licking mat for dogs or cats

More information about the LickiMat Soother

There are different LickiMat models (Soother, Playdate, Buddy, etc.). The LickiMat Soother model is suitable for both dogs and cats. Its surface covered with small bumps makes it perfect for soft or liquid food that can easily be spread on the mat (yoghurt, wet food, purée, liquids, etc.).

How to use the LickiMat Soother

The LickiMat Soother helps to calm and soothe pets by stimulating the release of endorphins (well-being hormones that are naturally produced by the body) when they lick the mat to eat their favourite treat.

Using the LickiMat is ideal during stressful moments in your dog’s or cat’s life:

• when you are away from home (separation anxiety)
• vet visits
• grooming sessions, baths, nail clipping

Benefits of the LickiMat Soother

• Encourages licking. The texture of the LickiMat is pleasant for dogs and cats to lick. As they lick, the small bumps rub against the surface of the tongue and help mechanically remove food particles and bacteria stuck to it. Thanks to this action, breath is improved. In addition, licking stimulates saliva production, which is one of the first stages of digestion and contributes to maintaining healthy teeth and gums.
• A healthy reward. Your dog or cat will take time to collect with their tongue everything you have spread on the LickiMat. This challenge and their perseverance are rewarded by gaining access to the tasty food on the mat. It is a lower-calorie reward because over the same amount of time your pet eats a smaller quantity of food.
• Slower feeding. The LickiMat Soother can also be used to slow down the speed at which meals are eaten, which helps control weight gain and improves digestion.
