All cats are unique and different in their own way – just like humans.  No cat likes to have its whiskers touch the side of a bowl when feeding.  This causes “whisker stress” in most cats and is the main reason many cats pick their food out of a bowl and place it on the floor before feeding.

LickiMats are vet designed and provide a perfect feeding surface for cats. LickiMats allow you to spread out the cat food or treat on the mat surface or press the cat food or treat into the mat surface, encouraging your cat to crouch and feed more naturally. 

The rubber tips of LickiMat gently scrape and stimulate your cat’s tongue whilst feeding or snacking.  This increases saliva protection, improves oral hygiene, protects teeth and gums, and most importantly soothes your cat by releasing endorphins.

The pockets of the LickiMat challenge your cat to extract the raw, wet, dry or liquid food or treat as a reward, enriching their feeding experience.

Keep in mind that you can use any LickiMat as a replacement for your cat feeding bowl!  Your cat will thank you for it.  LickiMats allow you to present raw, wet, dry and liquid foods on a single platter without mixing them or making a mess!

MIMICS CAT'S PREDATORY FEEDING – LickiMat Casper and Felix enrich feeding time for cats by allowing greater activity, like they would experience in the wild.  LickiMat Casper and Felix stop "whisker stress" and allow your cat to feed in a crouching position with a full view of their surrounds, reducing stress and anxiety.  The pockets are designed to promote licking action to extract food and slow down eating and make meals or treats last a long time.

REDUCES ANXIETY, BOREDOM AND DESTRUCTIVE BEHAVIOUR – LickiMat helps calm and soothe your cat as they enjoy their favourite treat by helping release endorphins through the promotion of licking.  Great for when you leave home, great for stressful times such vet visits, injections, injury recovery as well as thunderstorms and fireworks.  Please remember to supervise your pet when first introducing them to LickiMat.

RECOMMENDED FOR BOTH DOGS & CATS – the LickiMat textured patterns are designed to please the tongues of cats and to work with all manner of treats and foods, ranging from spreadable treats, yogurt and cream cheese to raw, wet, dry and liquid foods. The licking action enhances the sense of taste, allowing your cat to enjoy just a small amount of food.  LickiMats are also perfect for adding supplements and medications to treats.

PROMOTES LICKING – the LickiMat surfaces promote pleasurable licking for both dogs and cats. The licking action generates saliva that helps protect your pet’s teeth and gums, producing more saliva aids in better digestion. The natural rubber surface also gently scrapes food particles and odour causing bacteria off your pet’s tongue, promoting fresher breath.

SERVE HEALTHY TREATS – the LickiMat allows you to serve a wide variety of treats: sardines, yogurt, purees, spreads and all manner of organic and healthy pet approved treats.  The magic of LickiMat is that challenging your cat to lick the treat out of the patterned surface in order to be rewarded by the treat, slows the process dramatically and prolongs their enjoyment.  Less calories, healthier treats and longer duration.

SLOWER FEEDING & HEALTHIER FEEDING – the LickiMat can be used to promote slower eating, which in turn reduces bloating and improves digestion.  A great alternative to slow feed bowls.  You can even freeze food and treats on the mat for slower and more enjoyable feeding. 

ALTERNATIVE TO FEEDING BOWL – the LickiMat is a perfect replacement for all cat bowls and there are a wide variety of designs and colours to suit your preferences.  You can serve raw, wet, dry and liquid food at the same time without making a mess.
