FAQs

Are lick mats actually good for dogs?

Yes, lick mats are genuinely beneficial for dogs because they provide both mental stimulation and calming enrichment. The act of licking releases soothing hormones, which can help reduce anxiety and stress, making them particularly useful during situations like grooming, bath time or when left alone. Lick mats also help slow down eating, which can improve digestion and reduce the risk of issues caused by eating too quickly. Many dog owners use lick mats as a simple way to keep their dog engaged while supporting overall wellbeing.

What can I put in my dog's licky mat?

Lick mats are designed for spreadable foods that can be worked into the textured surface. Common options include dog-safe peanut butter (without xylitol), wet dog food, natural yoghurt, mashed banana or pumpkin. You can also use your dog’s regular food to turn mealtime into an enrichment activity rather than just feeding from a bowl. Freezing the mat after adding food can make the activity last longer and provide an extra challenge. The key is to use dog-safe ingredients and keep portions balanced as part of your dog’s overall diet.

How often should you give a dog a lick mat?

Lick mats can be used regularly, but how often depends on your dog’s diet and routine. Many owners use them a few times per week or as part of daily enrichment, especially for high-energy or anxious dogs. They can also be used occasionally for specific situations, such as calming your dog during stressful events or keeping them occupied when guests are over. Since lick mats often involve treats or extra food, it’s important to adjust your dog’s daily intake to avoid overfeeding.

Do vets recommend lick mats?

Lick mats are commonly recommended by vets and trainers as a safe form of enrichment when used correctly. They can support dental health by encouraging saliva production and helping reduce plaque build-up, while also promoting slower eating habits. Additionally, they are often used in behavioural training to create positive associations with things like crate training or grooming. While they’re not a replacement for proper dental care or training, they are widely seen as a useful tool for both mental stimulation and routine management.

Can you leave a dog alone with a lick mat?

You can leave a dog alone with a lick mat for short periods, provided it is made from durable, food-grade materials and your dog is not likely to chew or destroy it. Lick mats are generally safer than many chew toys because they are flat and designed for licking rather than biting, but supervision is still recommended, especially when introducing one for the first time. It’s important to regularly check the mat for signs of wear and ensure it remains intact to avoid any potential choking risks.
