Lick mats are textured, durable mats with suction cups on the back to help remain in place on surfaces like kitchen floors.
They provide mental stimulation & great entertainment. Helps improve anxiety & stress, giving them a calming effect. Studies have shown a reduction of 63% of anxiety in dogs.
The lick mats grooves and designs are to help encourage stimulation and promote a healthier oral hygiene. The slow & repetitive activity promotes saliva production which can help prevent dental issues such as tartar build up or bad breath.
Lick mats can be used with fresh or frozen recipes. Frozen recipes are great during warmer months. They’re easy to clean up too. Wash with warm soapy water or top rack in the dishwasher (air dry).
The possibilities are endless with recipes. Petals & Pooch has a couple of varieties and colors for your pooch.
