The LickiMat Buddy is a classic among all LickiMats. It is available in three designs for playful interaction with your pet. With its cross labyrinth design, it is perfect for thick treats like peanut butter, wet food, or softened cookies. LickiMat helps calm and soothe your pet while they enjoy their favorite treat by promoting licking, which releases endorphins. It’s ideal for when you leave the house or during stressful times such as vet visits, injections, bathing, nail trimming, recovery from injuries, as well as thunderstorms and fireworks. Additionally, you can serve a variety of treats with the LickiMat: yogurt, peanut butter, purees, spreads, and all kinds of organic and healthy pet-friendly snacks. The magic of the LickiMat lies in encouraging your pet to lick the treat from the patterned surface to be rewarded, which drastically slows down the process and prolongs enjoyment. Fewer calories, healthier treats, and longer engagement. Furthermore, licking the LickiMat stimulates your pet’s sense of taste, promotes saliva production, which protects their teeth and gums, and supports the digestive process. The LickiMat can also be used to encourage slower eating, which in turn reduces bloating and improves your pet’s digestion. It’s a great alternative to slow feed bowls. You can even freeze food and treats on the mat to make feeding slower and more enjoyable.
