The Slow Licking Mat is a lick mat built for one job: helping dogs and cats that eat too fast slow down and enjoy calmer, healthier meals. If your pet inhales dinner in seconds, gulps air, coughs or throws up afterward, this lick mat turns mealtime into a gentle challenge that protects their digestion.

The raised ridges and maze pattern make your pet nose and lick around every section, stretching a 30 second meal into several minutes. Slower eating means less gulped air, a lower risk of bloating, and a pet that feels full and settled instead of frantic for more. It doubles as enrichment for clever, bored pets.

Do slow feeders really work for dogs that eat too fast?

Yes. This lick mat uses ridges and a maze pattern to make your dog work for each bite, which extends meal time and reduces the gulping that leads to bloating, choking and vomiting in fast eaters.

Is this lick mat good for large dogs?

It suits most puppies, small, medium and large dogs. Large breeds that eat two or more cups per meal may need a refill, but the slowing effect works for every size.

Can cats use this slow feeder too?

Yes. Cats that scarf and barf their food benefit from slow feeding just like dogs. The shallow sections and lick surfaces are gentle enough for feline mouths.

How do I clean it? Is it dishwasher safe?

It rinses clean in seconds and is top rack dishwasher safe. For sticky wet or frozen food, a quick soak makes cleanup even easier.

What is it made of? Is it BPA free?

It is made from food grade, BPA free, pet safe material that is gentle on gums and built to last through daily meals.

How fast will my order arrive?

We ship across the United States and worldwide, with tracking on every order. Your feeder is backed by our 30 day happy pet guarantee.

No more frantic gulping

I was skeptical, but the design really does slow her eating. A meal that took 20 seconds now takes several minutes.

Better than the last mat we bought

If your dog inhales food, get this. The lick mat spreads the kibble out so they cannot scarf it all at once.

Our dog is a different animal at mealtime

Does the job without any fuss. It slows my dog down well, I just wish it came in one more size.

Great for anxious eaters

The base grips the floor so my dog cannot push it around. Solid build that handles daily use.
