Product details
Why every pet parent needs a lick mat
Ultimate bath time distraction — Powerful suction cups grip tightly to glass, tile, porcelain or any smooth surface. Perfect for the bathtub or shower.
Reduces anxiety & destructive behaviour — The repetitive licking action is naturally soothing for dogs and cats, ideal for thunderstorms, fireworks or vet visits.
Improves digestion — Acts as a slow feeder. By making your pet work for their food, it helps prevent bloating, choking and gulping.
Promotes dental health — The textured silicone ridges gently scrape food particles and odour-causing bacteria off the tongue for fresher breath.
Honestly inconsistent experience. Some sessions the suction holds perfectly and my dog is calm and engaged. Other times it pops right off. The quality of the silicone is fine. Might be a surface-specific issue but it's frustrating when it fails mid-bath.
Since introducing this into our daily routine my anxious rescue dog is noticeably calmer overall. The licking behavior is genuinely soothing for dogs and this mat is the perfect way to encourage it. Excellent product, excellent quality.
My anxious cat has become noticeably calmer since we introduced this into her routine. The licking action is clearly soothing. Easy to clean and the suction holds well. Took one star off as one of my cats lost interest after a week, but the other still loves it.
My dog hates getting her nails clipped. Stick this to the floor with peanut butter and she's completely distracted the entire time. The suction grip is rock solid. Completely transformed what used to be a stressful experience for both of us.
My dog used to hate bath time but now he actually walks into the bathroom on his own when I have the mat ready. Peanut butter on the wall and he's happy for the whole wash. The suction has never once failed us. Highly recommend to every dog owner.
The mat design is good and my cat likes it but the suction cups are the weak point. They hold okay on perfectly smooth tiles but don't grip well on slightly imperfect surfaces. A design with stronger suction cups would make this much better.
On bathroom and kitchen tiles this is excellent — suction holds perfectly. On painted walls or wood surfaces it doesn't grip as well. If you're using it on tile this is a 5-star product. Hence 4 stars for versatility.
Using this as a slow feeder for my lab and it's worked really well. She takes about 5 times longer to eat now. The suction cups hold it to the floor during feeding. Small note — very soft food works better than chunky food in the textures.
My large dogs push this right off the wall even with suction cups engaged. I pressed it firmly on clean dry tiles and it still came off within 30 seconds of them licking enthusiastically. Works fine when not under pressure but that defeats the purpose.
Works brilliantly on our bathroom tiles and shower door. Tried it on our kitchen counter and the suction isn't quite as strong there. Still a great product — my dog loves it and it's helped enormously with bath time anxiety. 4 stars.
Hiding my cat's medication in food spread on this mat has made medication time stress-free. She's so focused on licking she doesn't notice the tablet. The multiple texture zones make her work for the food long enough that she swallows everything.
Our rescue beagle would panic around food. Using this mat as a slow feeder has genuinely helped reduce her anxiety around mealtimes. She's calmer and more relaxed eating this way. The suction keeps it in place even when she's enthusiastic.
Really pleased with how this works for bath time. My dog is completely distracted by it. The suction is strong on our tile walls. Took one star off because it's a bit tricky to clean all the texture grooves by hand — dishwasher is much easier.
Using this with our new puppy during crate training and it's been a game changer. Freeze it with a bit of peanut butter and he's calm for 20 minutes while we do other things. The silicone is durable even with puppy teeth.
My dog is obsessed with this lick mat. The suction holds perfectly and it's made bath time completely stress free. She licks away happily for the entire session. Easy to clean and brilliant quality. Highly recommend to every pet owner.
This mat has transformed grooming time. Peanut butter on the wall and my dog stands perfectly still. The suction never fails and the silicone quality is clearly premium. Genuinely one of the best pet purchases I've made.
My whippet used to eat so fast she'd choke. This mat completely stops that — she has to lick slowly and methodically to get the food. No more choking, no more digestive issues. The suction cups hold it flat on the floor beautifully.
The suction cups worked fine for the first few uses then just stopped gripping properly. I've tried all the tips — clean dry surface, press firmly — and it still keeps falling off. The mat itself is okay but without reliable suction it's not very useful.
My rescue has bad anxiety. This lick mat is part of his daily routine now — slow feeding and calm licking sessions. Really helps settle him. The silicone is durable and it cleans up perfectly in the dishwasher.
My dog was eating way too fast and getting bloated. This has completely solved the problem. Takes her much longer to work through the food. The suction holds it flat to the floor. Gave 4 stars as the texture could be slightly deeper for harder foods.
The silicone quality is noticeably better than cheaper mats I've tried. Thick, food-safe, easy to clean and no warping after months of use. Suction cups are strong. Took one star off as the texture design on one zone doesn't hold food as well as the others.
Tried peanut butter, wet food, yogurt, cream cheese — my cat just isn't interested in this mat at all. She sniffs it and walks away. The quality of the product itself seems okay but it was completely useless for my particular pet. Frustrating.
Nothing matched that. Try a different word, or pick one of the options.

🦟
Fleas and ticks
Fleas are the most common reason a dog scratches, chews at the base of the tail, or has tiny dark specks in the coat. Ticks show up after walks in grass and woods.
What to try first
Treat every dog and cat in the house on the same day, not just the one scratching.
Wash bedding hot and vacuum daily for two weeks. Most of the flea life cycle is in the home, not on the dog.
Run a flea comb over the rump and belly daily and drop what you find in soapy water.
Put the next dose date in your calendar so protection never lapses.
Be careful with
Weigh your dog and buy the matching weight band. Too little doesn't work, too much isn't safe.
Never use a dog flea product on a cat.
No bath 48 hours before or after a spot-on treatment.
Keep children and other pets off the application spot until it's dry.
See a vet if
Pale gums or unusual tiredness, especially in a puppy.
Raw, weeping or smelly skin.
A tick you can't remove whole, or a rash spreading from the bite.
A one-off loose stool after a new treat or a bin raid is common. Ongoing soft stool or gas usually means the gut bacteria need help or the food changed too fast.
What to try first
Feed small bland meals for 24 to 48 hours: plain boiled chicken and white rice.
Add a daily probiotic for at least 2 weeks to rebuild the gut.
Switch foods over 7 to 10 days, mixing a little more of the new food each day.
If they gulp meals, a slow feeder cuts the air they swallow and the gas that follows.
Be careful with
Never withhold water; keep the bowl full.
No human anti-diarrhea or stomach medicines. Several are toxic to dogs.
No fatty scraps, cooked bones or dairy while they recover.
Puppies and small dogs dehydrate within hours; don't wait it out.
See a vet if
Blood, or stool that is black and tar-like.
Vomiting as well as diarrhea, or vomiting more than twice.
It lasts more than 48 hours, or they're lethargic or refusing water.
They may have eaten something they shouldn't have, like a toy, chocolate or grapes.
Trembling, pacing, whining or destruction when you leave are stress, not naughtiness. Fireworks, storms, moving house and being left alone are the big four.
What to try first
Keep a predictable routine: walks, meals and sleep at the same times each day.
A long walk or play session before a stressful event burns the nervous energy first.
Give a lick mat or frozen stuffed toy; licking is genuinely calming for dogs.
Make a den: a covered bed in a quiet room with your worn T-shirt in it.
Start calming chews 2 to 3 weeks before a known event such as fireworks night.
Be careful with
Never punish anxious behaviour; it makes the fear worse.
No human sedatives or anti-anxiety medication. Ever.
Don't leave them outside during fireworks; check the collar has an ID tag.
Calming supplements support training; they don't replace it.
See a vet if
They hurt themselves trying to escape, or chew through doors or crates.
Sudden anxiety in a dog that used to be calm; pain often shows as fear.
Not eating for more than 24 hours.
Daily distress when left alone. Separation anxiety needs a vet and a behaviourist.
Pulling is a habit, not defiance: the leash goes tight and the dog still gets where it wanted to go. Paws also take a beating from hot pavement, salt and grit.
What to try first
The moment the leash tightens, stop. Walk again only when it slackens. Boring, but it works within a couple of weeks.
Reward heavily when they're beside you; treats at your knee, not from your hand in front.
Practise in 5-minute sessions in a quiet spot before the busy street.
Check paws after every walk; rinse off salt and grit in winter.
Be careful with
A retractable leash is for open spaces, not training a puller or walking near roads.
Hot pavement: if you can't hold the back of your hand on it for 7 seconds, it's too hot for paws.
Use a harness, not a collar, for a strong puller to protect the neck.
Reflective gear and a light at dusk; drivers can't see a dark dog.
See a vet if
Coughing or gagging on the leash.
Limping, cracked pads or bleeding between the toes.
Sudden refusal to walk, which can be pain rather than stubbornness.
Most dogs and cats cope with a working day if the run-up and the environment are right. Trouble shows as barking, chewing, accidents or not eating while you're out.
What to try first
A walk or play session before you leave, and a calm, boring exit; no big goodbyes.
Leave a lick mat or a food puzzle that takes 20 minutes; the first 20 minutes are the hard ones.
Practise short absences of 5, 15, 30 minutes before the first full day.
A camera lets you see what actually happens instead of guessing.
For cats, a window perch and a self-moving toy make the day less empty.
Be careful with
Don't crate a dog for a full working day; 4 hours is the reasonable limit for an adult.
Don't punish what you find when you get home; they can't connect it.
Water always available, and for cats a clean box before you go.
See a vet if
Panic, self-injury or escape attempts when you leave.
Not eating or drinking all day, every day.
Accidents in a house-trained adult that only happen when alone.
Puppies and kittens: most flea, tick and supplement products have a minimum age and weight on the label. Check it before the first dose, and ask us if you're not sure.
Seniors: a new symptom in an older pet, especially drinking more, losing weight or slowing down, is worth a vet check before buying anything.
This is general guidance from a pet shop, not a diagnosis. Your vet knows your pet; when in doubt, call them.
