The licking mat is gaining popularity among dog and cat owners.
And this is not surprising, since this seemingly simple accessory performs many useful functions.
Why You Should Buy a Licking Mat
Such a toy calms the animal and makes it relaxed. The licking mat entertains and distracts the pet, and also slows down the process of eating.
In addition, thanks to this “accessory” the animal’s teeth, gums and tongue are cleaned.
How to use a licking mat
The first thing you should do is buy a toy – when choosing a licking mat, pay attention to its size.
You will also need soft food or treats, which should be distributed in an even layer over the surface of the mat. As a filling, you can choose wet food, pate or mousse, fruit or vegetable puree, broth or malt paste.
Now put your pet's treat in the refrigerator or freezer to allow it to harden.
After this, you can take the mat out. Attach it to a hard surface or leave it next to your pet.
