LickiMat surfaces promote pleasurable licking. The licking action generates saliva that helps protect your pet's teeth and gums, and producing more saliva helps with better digestion. The natural rubber surface also gently scrapes food particles off your dog's tongue, promoting fresher breath. It can be used to promote slower eating, which in turn reduces bloating and improves digestion. A great alternative to slow feeder bowls for small and medium dogs. You can even freeze foods and treats on the mat for slower, more enjoyable eating.
