If you've never tried a lick mat in summer, this is your sign.
Simply spread your dog's favourite toppings across the surface, pop it in the freezer for a couple of hours and serve when you're ready.
The textured design encourages slow licking, turning a simple snack into an enriching activity that keeps them occupied while helping them cool off.
Our favourite toppings
- Greek yoghurt
- Peanut butter (always xylitol-free)
- Mashed banana
- Pumpkin purée
- Wet food
- Blueberries or strawberries
- Watermelon (seedless)
- A sprinkle of crushed treats
More than just a frozen snack
Slow licking can help:
- Provide mental stimulation
- Reduce boredom
- Encourage calmer behaviour
- Slow down fast eaters
- Create positive moments during grooming or bath time
On hot days, it's simply an easy way to combine enrichment with cooling.
