M-PETS Lecca Lick Mat and Slow Feeder, Green - S

M-PETS Lecca Lick Mat and Slow Feeder is a silicone lick mat rather than a placemat: food gets spread into it so the animal has to work at it instead of swallowing it.

Key Features

• Two textures moulded into one mat - a honeycomb half and a fine-ribbed half, which the pack marks for wet food and dry
• Suction cups underneath, printed on the carton as With Suction Cups, so it stays on a tile or a bath panel
• M-PETS put it forward for boredom, anxiety, digestion, slower eating and dental hygiene - the carton's own icon strip
• Dishwasher safe
• Three sizes, S, M and L
• Green silicone, one of three colours in the range

Good To Know

• Spread it thin and freeze it. A smear of wet food frozen onto the mat turns a four-second swallow into twenty minutes of work, and that is the whole point of the thing.
• Wash it the same day. Silicone holds a smell, and dried food in the honeycomb is a job once it has set.
• Stay in the room the first few times. A dog that chews rather than licks can take a corner off a silicone mat, and silicone is not something you want swallowed.
• Count what goes on it. A lick mat is a way of serving food, not an extra meal, so it comes out of the daily ration.
