Dog Lick Mats

Dog Lick Mat FAQs

What do I put on a lick mat for dogs?

The options are pretty wide open, from your dog's favourite canned food to a spreadable treat like dog-safe peanut butter. Dog lick mats are also a great way to incorporate nutrient-rich ingredients like fruits, bone broth, or supplements into your dog's diet.

Can lick mats calm anxiety in dogs?

Yes, lick mats can help calm some dogs during stressful situations. The repetitive licking action can have a naturally soothing effect and give dogs something positive to focus on. Lick mats are often used during bath time, nail trims, or other situations where a dog might feel nervous or anxious.

Can you freeze dog lick mats?

Yes, freezing a lick mat after filling can make it more challenging and long-lasting. Frozen lick mats are also a great way to serve high-moisture ingredients like bone broth or goat’s milk.

Can lick mats be used for slow feeding?

Yes. For dogs that eat wet food or raw diets, a lick mat can be used for slow feeding and to reduce gulping. The many nooks and crannies of a lick mat turn a simple meal or treat into a longer-lasting puzzle that can help encourage calmer eating habits.
