LickiMat - Tuff Buddy Dog Slow Feeder
Overview: The LickiMat Tuff Buddy is a versatile slow feeder designed to enhance your dog's mealtime experience while addressing issues like anxiety and boredom. This innovative mat promotes calming behaviors through licking, making it an ideal solution during stressful situations, such as vet visits, grooming, or noisy environments like thunderstorms.
Key Features:
-
Reduces Anxiety and Destructive Behavior: By encouraging licking, the LickiMat Buddy helps release endorphins that soothe your pet. It’s a safe alternative for dogs to enjoy their food, especially during stressful events, helping to redirect anxious energy and reduce destructive behavior.
-
Vet and Trainer Recommended: The LickiMat is often recommended by veterinarians and trainers as an effective tool for redirecting licking habits and aiding in crate training. It works well with a variety of treats and foods, including yogurt, peanut butter, raw, wet, dry, and liquid options, making it perfect for delivering supplements and medications while reinforcing good behavior.
-
Supports Dental Health: The textured surfaces of the LickiMat promote pleasurable licking, generating saliva that helps protect your dog’s teeth and gums. This action helps scrape away food particles and odor-causing bacteria from your pet's tongue, resulting in fresher breath and improved dental hygiene.
-
Encourages Healthy Treat Consumption: The LickiMat Buddy is designed to serve a variety of healthy treats, such as yogurt, purees, and spreadable foods. The mat’s surface allows food to settle, dramatically slowing the feeding process and prolonging enjoyment, which can lead to healthier eating habits with fewer calories.
-
Three Unique Surface Patterns: The LickiMat Buddy features a cross-pattern design, perfect for chunky or spreadable treats. For other food types, consider the LickiMat Playdate (squares) for small kibble and raw meats, or the LickiMat Soother (dots) for runny foods.
-
Environmentally Friendly and Safe: Made without silicone, the LickiMat Buddy is a safe option for your dog. It's important to supervise your pet while they use the mat, especially if they are known to chew. For those pets, the LickiMat Tuff is built for durability and is 100% dishwasher safe for easy cleaning.
Conclusion: The LickiMat Tuff Buddy Dog Slow Feeder is an excellent addition to your pet care routine. It not only promotes a calm and enjoyable mealtime experience but also supports dental health and reduces anxiety. This innovative feeding tool is perfect for keeping your dog entertained and engaged while encouraging healthy eating habits. Treat your furry friend to the benefits of the LickiMat Buddy and transform mealtime into a soothing experience!
