The Lickimat UFO Slow Feed Licking Dog Bowl is a slow-feeding food and treat bowl designed with Soother Nubs to help pets relax when licking. This rubber dog bowl features 7 suction cups on the base to stick to flat, smooth surfaces vertically (e.g., windows, shower walls) to change the positioning of the bowl for entertainment and anxiety/stress relief. The bowl also has raised walls to prevent food or saliva spills/messes.
Features:
Reduces anxiety, boredom and destructive behaviour – LickiMat helps calm and soothe your pet as they enjoy their favourite treat by helping release endorphins through the promotion of licking. Great for when you leave home, great for stressful times such vet visits, injections, bath time, nail clipping, injury recovery as well as thunderstorms and fireworks.
Slower and healthier feeding – the LickiMat can be used to promote slower eating, which in turn reduces bloating and improves digestion. A great alternative to slow feed bowls. You can even freeze food and treats on the mat for slower and more enjoyable feeding.
Promotes licking – the pleasurable licking action generates saliva that helps protect your dog’s teeth and gums, and can aid digestion as saliva contains enzymes such as Amylase.
Better oral health – The natural rubber surface also scrapes food particles and odour causing bacteria off your dog’s tongue, promoting fresher breath.
Smaller treats, longer enjoyment – Peanut butter, almond butter, yogurt, smashed sardines, pumpkin purée, crushed biscuits, whatever your dog desires! LickiMat allows a smaller volume of a treat to be spread out and enjoyed over a much longer period of time by your dog. This reduces caloric intake from treats and food. You can even freeze most treats for a longer and more enjoyable licking experience.
Grooming and bathing – LickiMat is used by pet groomers and veterinarians to keep dog’s busy and distracted. All LickiMat models can be used, and the Splash™ has a suction cup for wall mounting.
