Description
A dog who empties a bowl in forty seconds has not eaten a meal, they have inhaled one. Spread the same food across a textured mat and the job takes fifteen minutes of slow, repetitive licking instead — which is the kind of quiet work most dogs settle into.
What is in the bundle
- Large jigsaw mat — the hardest pattern in the range, for a dog who finishes everything too quickly.
- Large honeycomb mat — an intermediate texture, and the better starting point.
- Two mats, two difficulties — swap them so the game does not get stale.
How to use them
Press a soft food down into the surface rather than spreading it on top — wet food, plain yoghurt, pumpkin, or softened kibble. Freeze a loaded mat to make it last far longer on a hot day. Count what you put on it as part of the day’s food, not as an extra. What to put on a lick mat has the full list, and slowing down a dog that eats too fast covers the rest.
