April 2024 Giveaway: LickiMat®

Keeping your cat entertained and mentally stimulated is crucial for their well-being. No cat likes to have its whiskers touch the side of a bowl when feeding. This causes “whisker stress” in most cats and is the main reason many cats pick their food out of a bowl and place it on the floor before feeding.

What Is a LickiMat®?

A LickiMat® is a silicone or rubber mat with textured surfaces and ridges. It’s designed for your pet to lick. The texture forces them to slowly lick up food spread across the mat, extending mealtime and providing mental stimulation. This licking can also have a calming effect on your pet. LickiMats are made with safe, non-toxic materials, ensuring your cat’s well-being.

LickiMat® for Cats

LickiMat Felix Fish-Shaped Cat Slow Feeders Key Benefits

A LickiMat® can be a great enrichment tool for your cat. The textured surface mimics how cats eat in the wild, encouraging them to lick and forage for food. This can help slow down fast eaters, reduce boredom, and even lessen anxiety. LickiMats come in various shapes and sizes, and you can spread wet food, treats, or even broth across them to keep your feline friend entertained.

LickiMat® Benefits:

  • Vet developed in Australia
  • Made of human-grade rubber (non-toxic and Prop 65 compliant)
  • Promote LICKING action and improve digestion through increased saliva production.
  • Reduce pet anxiety and promote calm behavior
  • Improve overall pet health and oral health
  • Best-selling raw and wet food slow feeder globally
  • Can slow down eating times, which is beneficial for pets who gobble down their food and can help with portion control.

How to Use a LickiMat®

Using a LickiMat is easy and fun for both you and your pet! Spread a thin layer of your pet’s favorite spreadable food, like canned food or raw food, across the textured surface. You can even freeze the LickiMat® with broth or wet food for an extra challenge and a cooling treat during hot weather. Start by placing a small amount in the center of the mat and gradually increase the coverage as your pet gets the hang of licking instead of chewing.

How to Clean a LickiMat®

Keeping your LickiMat® clean is simple! For most LickiMats, a quick wash after each use is sufficient. Rinse off any leftover food debris and wash with warm, soapy water. A gentle dish brush can be helpful for crevices, but avoid harsh scrubbers that might damage the texture. You can also check the manufacturer’s instructions, as many LickiMats are top-rack dishwasher safe. Let the LickiMat®air dry completely before storing it to prevent moisture build-up.

Can LickiMat® Go in Dishwasher?

Dishwasher safety depends on the LickiMat® type. LickiMat® Tuff, Splash, Slomo, Wobble, and Deluxe models are built tough and can be placed in any dishwasher rack or position for cleaning. However, Classic LickiMats are made from a more flexible material that can warp in the heat, especially during the drying cycle. While they might still be usable after dishwasher cleaning, handwashing with warm, soapy water is recommended to maintain their shape. Always check the manufacturer’s instructions for your specific LickiMat® model.

With LickiMat®, you can transform mealtimes into enriching moments, keep your cat entertained, and contribute to their overall well-being.
