Material and Construction
The lick mat is constructed from food-grade silicone that is BPA-free and PVC-free, and resistant to odors and stains. The groove-pattern surface holds spreadable foods in place during licking and slows intake by requiring dogs to work through the textured design. The mat measures 8 inches by 8 inches and is highly flexible. The included 11-inch silicone spatula features a tapered edge for easy scraping and a solid core for added strength. Both the mat and spatula are dishwasher-safe, freezer-safe, and microwave-safe. Durability is rated at moderate duty for daily indoor enrichment use.
Size, Capacity, and Usage Guidance
The mat measures 8 inches by 8 inches, suitable for dogs of all sizes. It is designed for use with soft treats, spreadable foods, supplements, broths, peanut butter, yogurt, and milks. Use the included spatula to load food onto the mat without cross-contaminating kitchen utensils. For extended enrichment, spread or pour food onto the surface and freeze before serving. The mat can also be baked with food on the surface or served immediately after loading. One mat and one spatula are included per package.
Functional Use
This slow feeder is designed to slow intake through lick-based engagement. The groove-pattern silicone surface requires dogs to lick food from the mat, extending the feeding session and providing the therapeutic benefit of licking. The dedicated spatula supports hygienic food prep and precise loading. It is best used with soft, spreadable, or liquid food formats. It is not intended as a primary dry food feeder or a replacement for standard dog bowls during regular meal service.
Safety, Usage, and Storage Guidance
- Always supervise your dog during use, especially during initial introduction to the mat.
- Provide fresh water alongside feeding sessions.
- Do not use with hard treats or dry kibble that could damage the silicone surface.
- Use the included spatula to load food and avoid cross-contamination with kitchen utensils.
- Inspect the mat regularly for bite damage, tears, or surface degradation.
- Store in a clean, dry location when not in use.
Cleaning and Maintenance
Place both the mat and spatula in the dishwasher or hand wash with warm water and mild soap after each use. Clean the groove-pattern surface thoroughly to remove food residue. The mat is also freezer-safe and microwave-safe. Allow to air dry completely before storing or refilling. Inspect the mat surface after each cleaning for signs of wear or damage. Replace if silicone integrity is compromised.
