Why lick mat make a good gift

  • Small and flat, so it fits easily in a stocking or gift bag.
  • Offers a simple enrichment activity that keeps pets occupied during grooming or bath time.
  • Works with foods owners already have, like plain yogurt, wet food or mashed banana.

What to look for

  • Check that the mat is dishwasher safe, since spread food settles into the grooves.
  • Look for suction cups or a weighted base so it stays put on floors or tubs.
  • Match the size and groove depth to the pet; cats usually need a smaller mat.

Questions people ask

What can go on a lick mat?
Soft foods such as wet pet food, plain yogurt or mashed banana work well. It helps to ask the owner which foods their pet already eats.
Can a lick mat be frozen?
Many silicone and rubber mats can go in the freezer, which makes the spread last longer. Check the product description first.
