The LickiMat Tuff is specially designed for young cats, teething puppies and cheeky pups who will chew on anything if given the chance. It helps calm and soothe your pet while they enjoy their favourite treat by releasing endorphins by encouraging licking. Ideal when you leave the house or for stressful times such as vet visits, injections, bathing, nail clipping, injury recovery and thunderstorms and fireworks. Plus, LickiMat's textured patterns are designed to delight your pet's tongue and work with all kinds of treats and foods, from yogurt, peanut butter and all kinds of spreadable treats to raw, wet, dry and liquid food. Licking enhances the sense of taste and produces saliva that protects your four-legged friend's teeth and gums, as well as aiding the digestive process. The LickiMat TUFF can also be used to encourage slower eating, which in turn reduces flatulence and improves your cat's digestion. A great alternative to slow food bowls. You can even freeze food and treats on the mat to make feeding slower and more enjoyable for your four-legged friend. When your cat has finished his meal, you can simply clean the LickiMat in the dishwasher. Three designs are available for playful interaction with your pet. The Lickimat Buddy Tuff with its cross-maze design is perfect for thick treats like peanut butter, wet food or moist biscuits.
