Pet Slow Feeder Interactive Dogs Cats Lick Mat

Anxiety and Stress Relief

- Licking is a natural self-soothing behavior for both dogs and cats:

• Endorphin Release: The repetitive motion of licking releases calming hormones in a pet's brain, making this a perfect tool for stressful situations like thunderstorms, fireworks, or grooming.

• Distraction Tool: It keeps pets occupied during baths, nail trims, or when you have guests over, redirecting their focus away from what scares them.

   

Improved Digestion & Slow Feeding

Just like puzzle feeders, lick mats change how a pet consumes their food:

• Slows Down Eating: It is impossible for a pet to "gulp" food off a mat. This prevents bloat and indigestion.

• Portion Control: Because it takes a long time to finish even a small amount of food, it helps pets feel satisfied with less, which is great for weight management.

Dental & Oral Health

The textured surface of the plate acts as a scraper for the mouth:

• Tongue Cleaning: As the pet licks, the "nubs" or patterns on the mat help scrape bacteria and undigested food particles off the tongue.

• Fresh Breath: By reducing bacteria on the tongue and stimulating saliva production (which aids in cleaning teeth), lick mats can lead to fresher breath over time.
