Licki Mats for Dogs

A range of interactive dog mats at Pet Shop Online!

Here at Pet Shop Online, our lick mats for dogs come in a range of different designs - from the LickiMat Soother to the LickiMat Playdate.

Simply spread their favourite soft treats - think mashed banana, smooth peanut butter or even their usual wet food - onto the mat and enjoy half an hour's peace whilst your pup gets into all the nooks and crannies. You could even try a frozen lick mat to keep them occupied for longer!

The textured surface promotes dental health and fresher breath and is an excellent alternative to slow-feeder bowls if you want to encourage slow feeding.

You can take your lick mat pretty much anywhere, and is a great idea at bath time, to make what usually is a stressful situation much more manageable!

There’s no right or wrong time to use a lick mat, and they provide the mental stimulation your canine companion needs, whatever the time of day or night.

Whether you’re heading to the office for the morning, or popping out to do the weekly food shop on an afternoon, a lick mat is the perfect pass time for your pooch, to distract them and relieve any anxieties until you return home.

However, it’s important to note, if you intend on leaving your dog unsupervised, that they must be fully trained.

Also, interactive mats should only be used once a day, and you should ensure that you’re using appropriate foods for your specific lick mat.

There are plenty of things you can put on lick mats for dogs – from dog-safe peanut butter to their usual wet food. Some other popular ingredients include:

• Mashed banana

• Mashed sweet potato

• Greek yoghurt

• Fruit and vegetable purees

• Canned fish

Whatever ingredients you choose to spread over your puppy lick mat, you should ensure it’s safe for your pooch to consume.

If you find your pup licks the mat clean too quickly, and want to provide them with a little extra mental stimulation, pop their lick mat in the freezer for a little while! Not only will a frozen lick mat keep them busier for longer, but it’s also the perfect treat to keep them cool on scorching summer days!

Regular cleaning is important if you want to keep your interactive dog mat clean, and prevent build-ups of bacteria and mould.

However, some lick mats can be difficult to keep clean.

The best way to wash them up is by soaking your lick mat in warm, soapy water for at least 15 minutes, before taking a soft-bristled brush or sponge to scrub away any of the remaining food debris.

Once you’ve done this, give your lick mat a thorough rinse to remove all soap residue, and leave it to air dry before giving it back to your pup.
