10 x 10-inch silicone licking mat with grooved surface and center bowl (holds up to 1 cup) Key benefits - Slows eating and extends engagement: The grooved design spreads food and treats across the mat to slow intake while giving pets a longer, more focused feeding experience. - Calms and reduces anxiety: Licking is soothing for many animals. Using the mat during stressful moments helps distract pets and reduces anxiety-driven behavior. - Encourages oral care: Grooves and nubs gently scrape the tongue and stimulate saliva production, which can help support gum and tooth cleanliness. - Versatile feeding: Use kibble, yogurt, wet food, peanut butter, supplements, broths, eggs, milks, or other favorites to make feeding and enrichment simple and varied.
