Designed by a vet, the LickiMat helps your cat calm down and enjoy their favourite treat by releasing endorphins through repeated licks. The LickiMat is ideal when you leave the house and is great for stressful situations such as vet visits, injections, bathing, nail clipping, recovering from injuries as well as thunderstorms and fireworks. Plus, with the LickiMat Soother, you can provide your pet with healthy, low-calorie entertainment and distraction using a variety of treats: Yoghurt, puree, bone broth, baby food, fruit spreads and all kinds of organic and healthy treats suitable for pets. The magic of LickiMat lies in the challenge of licking the treat or food from the patterned surface to be rewarded with the treat and the pleasant lick. The LickiMat can also be used to encourage slower eating, which in turn reduces flatulence and improves your four-legged friend's digestion. A great alternative to slow food bowls for cats. You can even freeze food and treats on the mat to make feeding slower and more enjoyable. The textured patterns of the LickiMat are designed to stimulate your cat's tongue. Licking stimulates the sense of taste as your velvet paw can only enjoy a small amount of food or treat over a longer period of time. In addition, licking produces saliva which protects your pet's teeth and gums; the increased saliva production aids digestion. The natural rubber surface also gently scrapes food particles from your pet's tongue, promoting fresher breath. The Lickimat Soother with its brush tip is perfect for soft and liquid treats such as yoghurt, puree, gravy or liquid treats and foods.
