Lick mats for dogs

A lick mat is a textured silicone mat you spread soft food across. The repetitive licking releases endorphins, which is why it works so well for dogs that struggle with fireworks, thunder, nail trims, grooming and being left alone.

Freeze it and a five-minute snack becomes twenty minutes of calm.

How to choose the right one

What to spread on it

Wet dog food, plain natural yoghurt, mashed banana, pumpkin purée, soaked kibble, or xylitol-free peanut butter used sparingly. Avoid anything with xylitol, chocolate, onion or grapes.

Count it towards your dog's daily food. A generous lick mat is a meal, not a snack.

Freeze for longer sessions

Spread, freeze flat for two hours, then serve. Frozen mats last three to four times longer and work far better for anxiety and crate rest.

Suction bases and cleaning

A suction base helps determined dogs that push the mat around; stick it to a smooth floor or the side of the bath for stress-free grooming. All our mats go in the dishwasher.

Frequently asked questions

Do lick mats really calm dogs?
Licking is a self-soothing behaviour that releases endorphins, so most dogs settle noticeably during and after a session. It supports training and management — it isn't a treatment for severe anxiety.
How long should a lick mat last?
Five to ten minutes fresh, fifteen to twenty-five minutes frozen.
Can puppies use lick mats?
Yes, and they're excellent for teething and crate training. Supervise and use a softer spread rather than rock-hard frozen food.
