The details
A lick mat is a textured silicone tray you spread a thin layer of food or paste across, so a dog or cat works at it lick by lick instead of finishing a bowl in seconds. The raised pattern in each compartment holds food in place and makes it take genuine effort to clear, which turns a meal or treat into several minutes of steady, calm activity rather than an instant gulp.
Spread something suitable — a spoon of wet food, plain yoghurt or a mashed treat — into the ridges and grooves with the back of a spoon, then hand it over. Most owners use one before a stressful moment such as nail trimming, bath time or being left alone, or simply to slow down a dog that eats too fast. The tray can also go in the freezer once loaded, which stretches the licking time further on a warm day.
Expect a single food-grade silicone tray divided into several compartments — some ridged for licking, one sized as a small water bowl — with a non-slip base that helps it sit still on a floor. It goes in the dishwasher's top rack or washes easily by hand with warm water. Materials and food-contact safety are confirmed with the supplier before this is offered for sale.
This suits an owner of a fast eater, a food-motivated dog or cat, or anyone looking for a simple way to occupy a pet for a few calm minutes at home.

Good to know
What can I spread on it?
Wet food, plain yoghurt, mashed treats or a pet-safe paste all work well. Use a thin layer pushed into the grooves so it takes longer to lick clean.
Can I freeze it?
Yes — load the mat, then freeze it for a few hours before giving it to your pet. This stretches out the licking time, which is useful on a warm day or for a longer distraction.
Will it stay in place while my pet licks it?
The suction feet or lip on the underside are designed to grip a flat floor or the inside of a bowl. A textured or uneven floor will hold it less firmly than smooth tile or lino.
How do I clean it?
Rinse off loose food first, then wash in the dishwasher's top rack or by hand with warm water, working into the grooves so nothing is left behind.
