See it in action
Some days they just need to slow down.
This lick mat turns snack time into a little ritual of calm — the kind of slow, steady licking that eases the fidgeting before a bath, a vet visit, or just a loud afternoon. Smear a little something they love across the textured surface, press the suction base to the floor or tub, and watch the wiggling turn into peace.
A small comfort, five minutes at a time
Press it into the tub before bath time, the crate before a car ride, or the floor during a thunderstorm — the licking motion naturally helps anxious pets settle. Comes with a spatula for easy spreading and cleaning.

Mental Enrichment
Turn Licking Into A Little Ritual
A lick mat won't replace a walk - but it can turn a few spare minutes into a moment of calm, natural enrichment for your dog.
- 1Pick a quiet moment — after a walk, before dinner, or whenever your dog naturally settles.
- 2Spread a thin layer of something dog-safe your dog enjoys across the mat.
- 3Set it down somewhere calm, away from other pets if you have more than one.
- 4Let your dog lick and work at their own pace — there's no rush.
- 5Rinse or pop it in the dishwasher once they're done, ready for next time.
Expert insight
Dogs Trust lists food-based enrichment - including spreading food on a lick mat - as one way to help prevent boredom and build confidence. Count this food as part of your dog's normal daily allowance, not extra on top.

“Simple but clever” Sometimes the simplest products are the best. Easy to prepare, easy to clean and my dog gets very excited when he sees it.
“Great for rainy days” Perfect little activity when we can’t get out for a long walk. I’ve tried it with a few different treats and it’s been a hit every time.
“Much better than I expected” I wasn’t sure how interested my dog would be, but he absolutely loves it. The textured surface keeps him busy and it’s become part of our evening routine.
“A new favourite at home” I put a little yoghurt on it while I’m making dinner and my dog stays happily occupied. He knows exactly what happens when I take it out of the cupboard now
