LickiMat Classic Soother

What is the LickiMat Classic Soother?

The LickiMat Classic Soother is a healthy and fun alternative to a slow feed bowl recommended for cats and dogs. With a brush tip design, the mat allows you to spread soft and liquid treats like yoghurt, purees, gravy or liquid foods. Available in a variety of colours and sizes, the LickiMat reduces anxiety, boredom and destructive behaviour.

What are the benefits of slow feeding?

The LickiMat helps to promote calm behaviour and slower feeding, which reduces bloating and improves digestion, thus leading to healthier eating. By promoting licking, the LickiMat helps to calm and soothe your pet as they enjoy a favourite treat. It is especially useful when leaving home during stressful times like vet visits, injections, bath time, nail clipping, injury recovery, as well as thunderstorms and fireworks.

As a fun pet interaction, the LickiMat's surface is designed to stimulate both dogs and cats to lick. The licking action generates saliva that protects your pet's teeth and gums, and can help aid digestion since saliva contains enzymes such as Amylase. In addition to scraping undigested food particles and odour-causing bacteria from your pet's tongue, the natural rubber surface helps keep their breath fresh.

Is the LickiMat Classic Soother suitable for soft and liquid treats?

The LickiMat will allow you to offer your pet a wide variety of organic and healthy treats, such as yoghurt, peanut butter, purees and spreads. As your pet licks the treat out of the patterned surface, your pet is rewarded with the treat although the process is significantly slowed down and their enjoyment is extended. LickiMat is also perfect for adding supplements and medications to healthy pet approved treats.
