LickiMat Slomo Combo Slow Feeder For Dogs Is A Healthy And Engaging Way To Feed Your Pet
Designed and recommended by vets, this slow feeding mat is designed to provide your dog with an enriching, tasty activity that helps to enhance their overall health and wellbeing
It is an engaging tool, that challenges and rewards your pet over time, by giving your pet small portions of food or treats, every time they engage with the mat.
Dogs need mental and physical stimulation to keep them happy, healthy and occupied. Dogs that are not stimulated, or rewarded for engaging in time-occupying behaviour, can begin to display mischievous and problem behaviours around the home. A licking mat is a way to engage your dog with an activity that both occupies and rewards
The mat makes eating an interactive activity, rather than just a meal
The texture of this mat allows the presentation of dry, wet, raw and paste, food and treats, on the same mat without creating a mess
The mat has 2 textures – pockets and raised nodules – divided into 4 sections across the mat
A sturdy frame with non-slip base surrounds the feeding surface, making the mat durable and chew resistant
Once your pet's favourite morsels are spread over the surface, they can pick up every bit until the mat is squeaky clean
The textured surface makes licking a challenge, which slows the process of the pet eating and prolongs their enjoyment of the special snack
The mat uses a small volume of tasty food or treats to provide a fun, lasting activity with fewer calories
You can even freeze the treats to make the fun last longer
The mat is compatible with any spreadable food or treats
It is excellent for use as a distraction during challenging experiences, or as a reward system during pet training – for example:
Use for teaching pets to be still for grooming, bathing, nail clips and vet examinations
Encourage your pet to be calm and settled during car travel
Rewarding your pet for calm activity around the home or just relaxing in their bed
Can provide a point of focus and rewards during fearful events
Using the mat can assist with oral health care
The licking action generates the production of saliva that can help maintain good oral health
The textured rubber surface assists in scraping food particles and bacteria off your pet’s tongue to promote a fresher breath
The mat can be used to slow down the feeding rate
The mat is fantastic for slowing down mealtime and to stop your dog gulping down their food in seconds – making it ideal for dogs who are prone to vomiting, bloating, or gagging from eating too fast
Helps to prevent overfeeding and can assist with managing hunger - the licking action makes food last much longer and a small volume of food can be placed on the mat, allowing you to provide smaller and more frequent feeds
Control of food portions and added energy required to access the food can assist with weight control
