Licking mats for dogs
The licking that occupies the mind and soothes your dog
Repeated licking releases endorphins and gives dogs a deep sense of comfort. By spreading a soft preparation over a textured mat, you turn a treat into a long, calming activity. AnimalParadise offers licking mats designed to occupy, relax and reassure your companion.
What is a licking mat really for?
It channels a dog’s energy and anxiety into prolonged licking that releases feel-good hormones. Ideal before a stressful moment, while you are away, or to keep a bored dog busy, with nothing to do with how fast it eats.
What do I put on a licking mat and how do I use it?
Spread a thin layer of wet food, vegetable purée or plain yoghurt into the grooves, then let the dog lick at its own pace. Pop it in the freezer to make the session last longer and cool your dog down on hot days.
