Calming Lick Mat

I purchased this because I adopted a young Siberian husky who never runs out of energy. I have a lot of tactics besides walking and hiking to keep him busy, but I'm always looking for new things. I saw an ad for this on Instagram, but I never like to order there because shipping usually takes forever. It's the same item and less expensive here. My boy enjoyed it. It seems well made. I picked it up as soon as it was all gone so he would not tear it up. It has suction on the bottom, which works gr...

We love these lick mats for our dogs. They suction to the floor which is amazing! Keeps our dogs occupied if we leave the house or need to keep them distracted. Clean up is super easy in the dishwasher. Great find!

My Sheltie looks loves it! I’m on a ground floor apartment and we hear everything upstairs. I ordered this to help with his anxiety from all the noise upstairs. As soon as I put it down, smeared with peanut butter, he started working on it. Great product! I’m glad there’s two included. My pup is 9 months old and weighs 13 pounds.

This product is truly a fantastic invention! My dog enjoys using it and feels more relaxed when getting food from the mat. Despite its simple design, the material is extremely durable and easy to clean. This product helps effectively reduce my dog's stress and anxiety, providing them with a more enjoyable experience every day!

This was a big hit with both dogs! It's a great size, especially with larger and/or multiple dogs. It attached quite well to the fridge and stayed up until it was removed. I learned that you don’t need to really put a lot of product on it. I used a few tablespoons of peanut butter and it took more than 30 minutes for the dogs to stop licking it and even then, they kept going back to check for more. With all the corners and crevices, it can keep they’re attention for a good while~ which is th...

Our dog loves it. Great for distracting when cutting nails or giving shots.

I just recently learned about lick pads and thought they would be great for our all 3 or our anxious pups. We tried them as soon as we got them and all 3 LOVE them. They were so helpful during the 4th of July fireworks and anytime the dogs are more anxious than normal. We've noticed the dogs do calm down faster and for longer.

These pads are a great size. They're not so big the dogs are getting a ton of calories, but not so small they finish them quickly. The suction cups work great on linoleum and the tub. They can slide across the carpet, but we've taken to just putting them in the dog's food bowl.

I haven't tried any other mats before, but these are easy enough to clean, are a great price, come with a spatula and cleaning brush. . . It seems like a good deal. Our pups certainly agree!

My labs love these lick mats. We use peanut butter and it keeps them very busy. If you have a super chewer like I do, you'll want to take the mat away or they'll start ripping it up into little pieces when they're done. Just keep an eye on them.

have a new puppy that screams when you approach his nails with a nail trimmer. understandsble because it is an unfiamiliar process. using this for him to lick peanut butter while using a drummel type tool to trim nails is a life saver. starting out with one or two nails a day until all are short enough. works wonders for us.

I've been meaning to try one of these for a while, and I'm glad I did. This kept my dog mostly distracted while I trimmed her toenails. She doesn't love the chore, so she would turn to what I was doing every so often, but it was much easier than usual.

I think it depends on your dog, though. Our other dog has severe anxiety when getting his nails trimmed, and even with the mat, we could only get two feet per sitting. But he was quick to forget the experience when we told him we were done, and he finished licking up the peanut butter.

We'll definitely continue to use, and I'm looking forward to trying it during a bath. The suction cups work well to keep it in place. You'll get a firmer stick if you press it into place, then apply the food. Otherwise you might get a little messy pressing it into place smeared with peanut butter.

My only complaint is how difficult it is to clean, but I also can't completely fault it - that's kind of by design. If it was easy to clean, it would also be easy for your dog to lick clean, and would defeat the purpose of the mat. It is dishwasher safe, which is a huge plus, but depending on what you use, you may still have a little work to do. When I use peanut butter, I have to pick the remaining peanut butter out with a toothpick even after the dishwasher. However, when I use greek yogurt, it comes perfectly clean in the dishwasher (see picture).
