The LickiMat CrateMate makes it easy to add a little enrichment to everyday routines. Its textured licking surface encourages your dog to work gradually through soft foods and spreads, providing an engaging distraction during crate training, grooming or travel.

Designed with flexibility in mind, it features adjustable straps for positioning on suitable crates and other compatible fixtures, alongside two suction cups for smooth surfaces such as tiles, glass or a suitable bath area. This gives you more options for setting up a treat activity where it works best for you and your dog.

With a compact 13 × 13 cm design and a capacity of approximately 330 ml, the CrateMate offers a practical way to serve soft treats while keeping feeding more interactive.

1. Choose a suitable soft dog food, pâté-style treat or spread that your dog enjoys.
2. Work a small amount into the textured surface so your dog can lick it from the feeder.
3. Attach the CrateMate using its adjustable straps or suction cups, ensuring it is securely positioned before use.
4. If using the suction cups, choose a clean, smooth, compatible surface and check that the feeder is firmly attached.
5. Introduce the feeder gradually and supervise your dog, particularly during the first few sessions.
6. Remove the feeder after use, clean it thoroughly and allow it to dry before storing.

Always check that the attachment is secure before offering the feeder. Choose food appropriate for your dog's dietary needs, and supervise use to ensure your dog does not chew or damage the product.
