Vets and groomers use them for exactly that &#8211; a dog or cat that is licking is not pacing, whining or chewing the furniture. This mat adds a third job: it sticks to a smooth surface and stays there, so you can use it on the bathroom wall during a bath, on the tub edge while grooming, or flat on the floor at feeding time.<\/p>\n<h3>What you get<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>4-zone surface<\/strong> &#8211; separate textured areas so you can spread different treats (peanut butter, yoghurt, wet food, soft kibble) instead of mixing everything into one smear.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Slow-lick texture<\/strong> &#8211; raised ridges mean the treat takes time to work out, which is the whole point: a longer, calmer session instead of five seconds and gone.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Strong suction cups<\/strong> &#8211; press it onto tiles, a bathtub wall or a smooth floor and it holds while the animal works, including during bathing and grooming.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Food-grade, flexible silicone<\/strong> &#8211; soft enough to roll up for storage, firm enough to stay flat on the floor while it is being used.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Easy to clean<\/strong> &#8211; rinse under warm water; for sticky treats a short soak and a soft brush lifts the residue out of the grooves.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Specifications<\/h3>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<th>Material<\/th>\n<td>Food-grade silicone<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th>Size<\/th>\n<td>7.9 x 5.9 inches (approx. 20 x 15 cm)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th>Weight<\/th>\n<td>Approx. 180 g<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th>Zones<\/th>\n<td>4 separate textured areas<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th>Mounting<\/th>\n<td>Suction cups &#8211; smooth, non-porous surfaces<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th>Suitable for<\/th>\n<td>Dogs and cats<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th>Supplier reference<\/th>\n<td>CJPB3207940<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<h3>How people actually use it<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Bath time.<\/strong> Press it onto the inside of the tub before the water goes on. The animal stays occupied while you wash, which is when most of the struggling happens.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Nail clipping and grooming.<\/strong> Same trick on a smooth table or the side of a cabinet at nose height. Small amounts of soft treat, spread thin, buy you the minutes you need.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Fast eaters.<\/strong> For dogs that inhale a bowl of wet food, a thin smear on the mat stretches the meal out and slows the swallow rate.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Boredom and separation.<\/strong> A filled mat frozen for an hour makes a longer-lasting distraction than a bowl. Freeze it in a flat bag so it stays the shape of the mat.<\/p>\n<h3>Buying guide: what makes a licking mat worth keeping<\/h3>\n<p><strong>1. Suction quality decides everything.<\/strong> A mat that slides across the floor is useless once the animal puts weight on it. Suction cups need a smooth surface &#8211; tile, enamel, glass, sealed stone. On grout lines or textured flooring they will not hold.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2. Groove depth matters more than size.<\/strong> Shallow patterns hold almost nothing; deeper, wider grooves take a real smear of peanut butter or wet food and take longer to finish.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3. Separate zones keep treats organised.<\/strong> With one big pattern, strong flavours mix and picky animals walk away. With four zones you can put a bland base in one area and something stronger in another.<\/p>\n<p><strong>4. Silicone beats hard plastic.<\/strong> Flexible food-grade silicone survives being chewed at the edges, rolls up for the drawer, and does not crack the way stiff plastic mats eventually do.<\/p>\n<p><strong>5. Cleaning is the deciding factor long-term.<\/strong> If it is hard to wash, it stops being used. Rinse it while it is still wet; dried-on peanut butter is the reason most mats end up at the back of a cupboard.<\/p>\n<h3>Frequently asked questions<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Will it stick to my shower wall?<\/strong><br \/>It holds on smooth, non-porous surfaces &#8211; tile, enamel, glass and most sealed stone. It will not grip textured, matte or grouted surfaces.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Can I put it in the dishwasher?<\/strong><br \/>We recommend washing by hand with warm water and mild soap, then air-drying flat. That keeps the silicone supple.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Is it safe for cats?<\/strong><br \/>Yes &#8211; the design suits cats as well as dogs, and the small zones work well with a thin spread of wet food or a soft treat.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How much should I put on it?<\/strong><br \/>A thin, even smear. Thick dollops come off in one mouthful and defeat the purpose; thin spreads are what make the session last.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How do I clean it after raw food?<\/strong><br \/>Wash it with warm water and dish soap immediately after use, rinse thoroughly and dry flat. Do not leave it soaking in the sink overnight.<\/p>\n<div class=\"ais-shipcard\">\n<h3>Shipping &amp; Returns<\/h3>\n<p><strong>We ship to:<\/strong> United States, United Kingdom, Canada and Australia only &#8211; orders from other countries are not accepted. <strong>Dispatch:<\/strong> 1-3 business days after payment. <strong>Delivery:<\/strong> US 7-15 days; UK, Canada and Australia 10-20 days; US-warehouse items 3-7 days (marked &#8220;Free US shipping&#8221;). <strong>Returns:<\/strong> 30 days &#8211; damaged or wrong items are refunded or replaced; message us first and do not ship anything back before we authorise it.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Food-grade silicone licking mat with four treat zones and strong suction cups &#8211; for bath time, grooming, slow feeding and boredom.
