Why lick mats help dogs and cats

A lick mat is a flat silicone mat with a textured surface. You spread soft food across it, and your pet licks it off slowly. Licking is a soothing, repetitive behavior, so lick mats are popular for anxious moments such as baths, grooming, storms or fireworks, and for slowing wet food meals.

Use soft, pet-safe toppings in a thin layer, freeze the mat for a longer session, and wash it after every use. See lick mats for dogs, the best lick mat toppings and lick mats for anxious dogs.

Common questions

What can I put on a lick mat?

Wet food, plain unsweetened yogurt, plain pumpkin puree or a vet-approved spread. Avoid xylitol, chocolate, grapes, onions and garlic.

Can I freeze a lick mat?

Yes, silicone lick mats can be frozen with food on them to make the session last longer.
