Calming Lick Mat with Soothing Lavender Scent for Dogs

Transform mealtime and reduce anxiety with the Project Hive Calming Lavender Lick Mat, an innovative slow feeding solution designed to promote relaxation and mental stimulation for dogs. This uniquely designed disc-shaped lick mat features textured patterns that encourage natural licking behavior, which releases calming endorphins while slowing down fast eaters.

The honeycomb-inspired surface design holds wet food, peanut butter, yogurt, or soft treats in place, keeping your dog engaged for extended periods. Strong suction cups on the back secure the mat to smooth surfaces like floors, walls, or bathtubs, making it perfect for distraction-free grooming sessions or bath time.
