Licking mats and slow feeder bowls slow down eating: instead of a few seconds, the dog takes several minutes. Licking itself calms the dog, so such a mat also helps an anxious pet — before grooming, during a storm, or when left alone at home. The entire range in this category consists of LickiMat licking mats and bowls, while regular bowls can be found in the bowls category.
How to choose a licking mat or bowl?
- Licking mats for dogs— flat, with a fine texture; wet foodis spread on them for the dog to lick.
- Licking bowls— deeper, more suitable for food with a more liquid consistency.
- Slow feeder bowls— with obstacles inside to slow down the consumption of dry food. Designed for dogs that eat too quickly.
- Size and durability— LickiMat mats are made from MINI for small breeds to XL, and reinforced versions are available for energetic lickers.
- Mat holders— help keep the mat in place so the dog doesn't push it around the room.
