Silicone Bone-Pattern Lick Mat for Dogs and Cats, Non-Slip

A small, flat silicone lick mat with a raised bone pattern that holds wet food or spreads in its grooves, so dogs and cats lick slowly instead of gulping.

How to use

Spread a thin layer of wet food, broth, plain yogurt or peanut butter over the mat and press it into the grooves. Set it on a hard floor and stay nearby while your pet licks. Take it away if your pet starts chewing it. Wash it by hand with warm soapy water or on the top rack of the dishwasher, then dry it and store it flat.

Use it for

• Fast eaters that gulp a portion of wet food in seconds
• Bath time and nail trims; the supplier says licking helps support calm during grooming
• Enrichment snacks on quiet afternoons
• Small portions for cats and small dogs

Who it's for, and who it's not for

• For: dogs and cats that enjoy licking soft food, with an owner close by.
• Not for: unsupervised use, pets that chew and tear silicone, or a full meal for a big dog, since the mat is only 7.1 x 4.3 in.
