Meet the SPOT Soothers Multipurpose Lick Mat - the calming enrichment tool that goes wherever your pup needs it. Part of the SPOT Soothers calming collection, this 6-inch lick mat helps reduce anxiety, slow down fast eaters, and turn mealtime into a focused, soothing activity. Licking releases endorphins in dogs - the same brain chemistry that calms them when they snuggle up to their littermates - making a lick mat one of the simplest tools you have for settling an over-excited puppy or an anxious adult dog. What makes the Soothers Lick Mat different from other lick mats? It is multipurpose by design. Lay it flat on the floor as a traditional lick mat at mealtime, hang it on the side of a crate or pen to keep your dog happy while you are at work, or stick it to a smooth wall during bath time as a long-running distraction. The textured surface holds peanut butter, yogurt, pumpkin puree, wet food, or any soft treat - and the raised pattern forces your dog to work the food off slowly. That means longer engagement, slower eating, and a calmer, more contented dog at the end of it. Cleanup is simple: rinse under the tap, or place it on the top rack of your dishwasher. The food-grade rubber is dishwasher safe, BPA-free, PVC-free, and safe for daily use. Pet parents reach for the Soothers Lick Mat for: crate training and kennel time, slowing down fast eaters, calming anxious dogs during fireworks, thunderstorms, and grooming, keeping puppies occupied during teething, vet visits and car rides, and as a long-lasting alternative to chews and bones. Size: 6 inches. Best for: small and medium dogs and puppies. Safety: supervise during use; the lick mat is not a chew toy.
Two Ways to Use - On the Floor or Hung in the Crate: Most lick mats work only one way. The SPOT Soothers Multipurpose Lick Mat is designed for both - lay it flat as a traditional lick mat at mealtime, or hang it on the side of your crate to keep your pup happily occupied while you are away.
Reduces Anxiety, Boredom, and Mealtime Stress: Licking is naturally calming for dogs - it releases endorphins that help them settle. Spread peanut butter, yogurt, wet food, or any soft treat on the textured surface and let your pup work it off slowly, turning anxious energy into focused calm.
Built-In Slow Feeder Function: The raised pattern across the mat surface forces your dog to lick, not gulp - which slows down fast eaters, aids digestion, and stretches a small treat into 10 or more minutes of engagement. Ideal for puppies learning meal manners.
Safe, Non-Toxic Food-Grade Rubber: Made with food-grade rubber that is free of BPA, PVC, and phthalates - safe for your dog to lick day after day. Cleanup is simple: rinse under the tap or pop it on the top rack of the dishwasher.
Sized for Small to Medium Dogs and Puppies: At 6 inches, the Soothers Lick Mat is sized for small and medium dogs and growing puppies - portable enough for vet visits, grandma's house, or the car, and easy to store in a crate or kitchen drawer.
