Frequently Asked Questions
How is this lickmat different from the Silicone Licking Pad also sold at Pup R Us?+
Both are food-grade silicone lick mats with textured surfaces, but this Lickmat is positioned as a versatile distraction, slow feeding, and training tool, while the Licking Pad emphasizes the suction cup base for fixed placement. If you need the mat to stay locked in one spot during use, the Licking Pad with its suction cup is more appropriate; if you want to move the mat around or use it during training exercises, this Lickmat is the more flexible option.
How does licking a textured mat benefit a dog beyond just slowing eating?+
Licking triggers the release of dopamine and serotonin in dogs, creating a mild calming effect. Using a lickmat during stressful situations — vet visits, thunderstorms, grooming sessions, or separation anxiety transitions — can help redirect and reduce anxious behavior. The activity also provides mental stimulation that physically tired dogs may not get from a standard meal.
Is the silicone non-toxic if small amounts are accidentally ingested?+
The listing specifies durable and non-toxic silicone. Food-grade silicone is inert and passes through the digestive system without absorption if a small amount is ingested from surface wear. However, this is not a chew toy — if a dog chews the mat and removes larger pieces, those pieces should be taken away to prevent blockage risk.
Can frozen food be spread on this mat to extend the licking session?+
Yes — spreading food and freezing the mat beforehand is one of the most popular ways to use a lickmat. A frozen mat can keep a dog occupied for 10–20 minutes rather than the 3–5 minutes a room-temperature spread typically takes. The silicone material is freezer-safe and does not crack or become brittle at freezer temperatures.
