LickiMats for Dogs

LickiMats are one of the most popular dog enrichment products, providing a fun and rewarding way to serve meals, treats and healthy snacks. Their textured surfaces encourage dogs to lick food slowly, helping to keep them occupied while turning everyday feeding into an engaging activity.

Whether you're serving wet food, natural yoghurt, peanut butter or a favourite dog-safe spread, a LickiMat offers a simple way to add variety and enrichment to your dog's daily routine.

What is a LickiMat?

A LickiMat is a textured feeding mat made from durable, food-safe materials.

Soft foods are spread across the patterned surface, encouraging your dog to work gradually to lick every last bit from the mat. The different textures create a rewarding challenge, helping to extend feeding time and provide valuable mental stimulation.

Many owners also freeze food on their LickiMat to make the activity last even longer, particularly during warmer weather.

Benefits of Using a LickiMat

LickiMats offer a variety of everyday benefits for dogs and their owners.

They can help to:

  • Encourage slower eating.
  • Provide mental stimulation and enrichment.
  • Make mealtimes more engaging.
  • Extend the enjoyment of treats and soft foods.
  • Add variety to your dog's feeding routine.

They're suitable for puppies, adult dogs and senior dogs, making them a versatile addition to almost any home.

A Great Slow Feeder

If your dog tends to eat quickly, a LickiMat can help slow down mealtimes by encouraging them to lick food gradually rather than swallowing it in large mouthfuls.

They're particularly popular for serving wet food, raw food, natural yoghurt and other soft foods that spread easily across the textured surface.

Supporting Calm Enrichment

Many owners choose LickiMats as part of their dog's enrichment routine because licking is a natural behaviour that many dogs find rewarding.

Offering a LickiMat during quiet time, grooming or other everyday situations can help keep your dog focused on an enjoyable activity while providing valuable mental stimulation.

While enrichment products can be useful tools, they should be used alongside appropriate exercise, training and a consistent routine to support your dog's overall wellbeing.

Everyday Use

LickiMats can be used daily as part of a balanced feeding routine.

Popular foods to use include:

  • Dog-friendly peanut butter.
  • Plain natural yoghurt.
  • Wet dog food.
  • Mashed banana.
  • Soft pâtés.
  • Dog-safe food toppers.

Remember to account for any treats or extras as part of your dog's daily calorie intake.

Safe Use & Cleaning

To get the most from your LickiMat:

  • Always supervise your dog during use.
  • Choose foods appropriate for your dog's diet.
  • Wash the mat thoroughly after each use.
  • Replace the mat if it becomes damaged or heavily worn.
  • Follow the manufacturer's care instructions.

Keeping your LickiMat clean helps ensure it's ready for every enrichment session.
