More information

How to use the LickiMat Playdate for dogs

The LickiMat Playdate is an alternative to a classic food bowl. It helps break boredom by keeping your dog occupied with an activity that stimulates both senses and intellect. LickiMats help to calm and soothe dogs by stimulating the release of endorphins (the body’s natural “feel-good” hormones) while they lick the mat to enjoy their favourite treats or food.

Thanks to its design with small closed squares, the LickiMat Playdate is perfect for kibble, wet food, soft treats as well as liquids, pastes and gels.

Benefits of the LickiMat Playdate for dogs

Slower, healthier meals: LickiMat can be used to encourage slower eating, which helps reduce bloating and improves digestion. LickiMat Playdate is an excellent alternative to anti-gulp bowls and is suitable for all types of dog food: dry, wet, raw and liquid.

Reduced anxiety: LickiMat Playdate helps calm and soothe your dog while they enjoy their meal or favourite treat, by promoting licking and the release of endorphins.

Healthy treats: LickiMat Playdate allows you to offer a wide variety of treats to your dog: pâté, soft bites, spreads, etc.

The small closed squares of this LickiMat help control liquids better and limit spills.

The magic of LickiMat Playdate lies in challenging your dog to lick the treat or food spread over the patterned surface of the mat in order to be rewarded. The texture of the LickiMat slows down the licking process, which prolongs the pleasure.

In the end: fewer calories for your dog (because it takes more time to eat), healthier treats and much longer enjoyment.

Alternative to a bowl: LickiMat is an ideal alternative to traditional dog bowls. You can serve raw, wet, dry, freeze-dried and liquid foods at the same time without any problem.

Healthier teeth and gums: The LickiMat surfaces encourage a pleasant licking action for dogs. Licking stimulates saliva production, which helps protect your dog’s teeth and gums and can also support digestion, as saliva contains enzymes such as amylase.
