Is your pet one of those that reacts with anxiety to bathing, visits to the vet, or grooming salon treatments? Does it gulp down food as if participating in a race? Or maybe it's an especially active individual that often gets bored and causes problems, such as destroying items in its surroundings? If you answered yes to any of the above questions, the LickiMat Tuff Soother licking mat, in beautiful, vibrant colors and interesting designs, should find a place in your home. It will provide your pet with an engaging activity, and the prolonged licking will release hormones responsible for well-being, helping to cope with stress and anxiety. It will calm even the most energetic and lively four-legged friend. Recommended by veterinarians, behaviorists, and breeders worldwide! The LickiMat is the perfect product for four-legged foodies often struggling with excess weight. With it, you can serve a smaller amount of food, and your pet won’t even notice because mealtime lasts longer than when served in a traditional form. A smaller calorie portion will make it easier to combat overweight. Licking food from the mat stimulates the salivary glands to produce more saliva. This increases the appetite in picky eaters and helps maintain the pet's teeth, gums, and tongue in good condition. The mat prevents food residues from remaining in the pet's mouth, thereby reducing the problem of bacteria growth and unpleasant odors. The LickiMat is also a way to serve meals in an attractive form. You can put it in the microwave to heat a dish. By placing it with its contents in the freezer, you will provide your pet with plenty of fun and refreshment on hot summer days. You can place an unappetizing medicine or dietary supplement on it, and your pet, busy licking the tasty contents, will swallow it without noticing. It is perfect for serving food in solid, soft, or liquid forms. Great for thick and sticky treats, such as pâtés, wet food, or special peanut butter for dogs, yogurt, mashed banana, or soaked cookies. The hard structure of the mat makes it easy to carry with its contents. The protrusions massage the pet's tongue, providing additional sensory experiences. The non-slip feet prevent the mat from sliding on the floor. By serving food on the LickiMat, you will definitely notice a change in your pet's behavior. Activities related to licking and sniffing have a calming and soothing effect on the pet's nervous system, satisfying the animal's hunting instinct. They tire the pet much faster than other forms of activity. This is especially important if the pet releases energy by destroying items around it.
