The Lickimat Tuff Playdate is an innovative slow feeder designed to provide a fun and engaging way for dogs to enjoy their favorite treats while promoting relaxation and reducing anxiety. Perfect for both dogs and cats, this mat serves as an excellent tool during stressful situations, such as vet visits, grooming, or noisy environments.
Key Features:
-
Reduces Anxiety and Boredom: The Lickimat helps calm your pet by encouraging licking, which releases endorphins. It’s an ideal solution for times when you leave home or during stressful events like thunderstorms, fireworks, or vet visits. Always supervise your pet during initial use to ensure they are comfortable with the mat.
-
Designed for Both Dogs and Cats: The textured patterns on the Lickimat are made to please the tongues of both dogs and cats. It accommodates a variety of treats and foods, including yogurt, peanut butter, and wet or dry foods. This enhances their sense of taste, allowing them to enjoy smaller portions while still feeling satisfied.
-
Dishwasher Safe: Cleaning is a breeze with the Lickimat Tuff, as it is fully dishwasher safe. This makes it easy to maintain hygiene and keep the feeding area tidy.
-
Promotes Licking for Dental Health: The licking action generated by the mat promotes saliva production, which is beneficial for your pet’s dental health. The natural rubber surface helps gently scrape away food particles and odor-causing bacteria from your pet’s tongue, resulting in fresher breath.
-
Encourages Healthy Treats: With the Lickimat, you can serve a wide variety of healthy treats, from yogurt and peanut butter to purees and chunky spreads. The design challenges your pet to lick the treats out, slowing down the process and prolonging enjoyment, which can lead to healthier treat consumption.
-
Slower and Healthier Feeding: This mat is an excellent alternative to traditional slow feed bowls. By promoting slower eating, it can help reduce bloating and improve digestion. You can even freeze treats on the mat for a fun, longer-lasting feeding experience.
-
Versatile Feeding Alternative: The Lickimat serves as a great replacement for both cat and dog bowls. It’s suitable for serving raw, wet, dry, and liquid foods without the mess. Its compact size of 20 x 20 cm (8″ x 8″) makes it easy to fit in any feeding area.
-
Durable Design: Made from non-toxic food-grade TPR and recyclable polypropylene, the Lickimat Tuff is designed to withstand the enthusiasm of playful pets. It contains no BPA, PVC, silicone, or phthalates, ensuring a safe feeding experience.
-
Considerations for Chewers: If you have a teething puppy or a dog that tends to chew everything, it’s recommended to pair the Lickimat with the Lickimat Keeper™ for added durability.
Conclusion: The Lickimat Tuff Playdate Slow Feeder is an exceptional tool for enhancing your pet’s mealtime experience while promoting calm behavior and better health. With its versatile design, it provides an engaging way for dogs and cats to enjoy their food while reducing anxiety and boredom. Treat your furry friend to the joy of licking and exploring their favorite foods in a healthy and enjoyable way!
