LICKIMATTuff, Heavy-Duty Buddy, Dog Slow Feeder Lick Mat, Boredom Anxiety Reducer; Perfect for Food, Treats, Yogurt, or Peanut Butter, Fun Alternative to a Slow Feed Dog Bowl, Turquoise

It's absolutely perfect for crate training. Slows down those little enticement feeds well without puppy ripping up blankets to get to an elusive bit of food.Giving a small amount of food to make certain areas an attractive place to be and slowing the gobbling it up process down works really well with kibble. Not really using pate etc yet as puppy's tummy is not something I want to experiment with just now until well housetrained. Can't see any reason why that also wouldn't work as a settler in crate use.No sign of chewing as it lies so flat puppy can't pick it up. Not seen any sign of wanting to gnaw the tray itself. It's all about getting that food. Definitely a good option vs a floor scatter as far less likely for food to ping into a corner that then is destroyed.Very easy to wash and it goes in your plate rack of your dishwasher very easily.

This is the second tuff mat I’ve brought for my staffie, if left unattended he chews it up completely, but this is 10x better than the plain rubber one, as he wouldn’t even have to try and pull off the raised bits or destroy the base so reinforced with a plastic base means I won’t have to replace them as often, he is a super anxious dog and reactive to the front door but doesn’t think twice when he’s got a mat and looks forward to one every day, nobody is more interesting than this mat covered in peanut butter and treats!If they were to design another tuff series, I’d hope they’d make the raised part of the rubber from something a bit tougher because they tear easilyAnd also the + shaped rubber makes it difficult to clean all the nooks and crannies, even in the dish washerAll in all, completely worth it though!

Sturdy and easy to use. Tricky to clean peanut butter out of, but great for e.g. Greek yoghurt. Keeps puppy busy for a while.

My dog likes this lick mat and gets excited when she sees it. It’s made of nice sturdy plastic and doesn’t move around whilst she’s using.

Very good sturdy product

Bought this to stimulate my 4 month old border collie puppy & try to stop her gulping down her food. On a positive note, it certainly does the trick & she loves it. However, as you can see from the photos she carried on chewing after licking the mat & managed to chew the corner off after using only once. The second photo shows how food does get stuck in the corners but it’s easy enough to get out with soapy water & an old toothbrush. You will also see how easy it is for a dog to chew the middle & possibly swallow bits of plastic, so it’s something to be aware of - I wouldn’t leave my dog unattended with the mat & take it away as soon as she’s finished, otherwise she would continue to chew it.

Different to clean though

My puppy is a bit of a destroyer but this lickimat has withstood her! I have been using it for over a month now and she hasn’t chewed any bits and it is a great way to give her a treat.
