They are also perfect for adding supplements and medications to treats. PROMOTES LICKING - the surfaces promote pleasurable licking which helps to generate saliva that helps protect your pet's teeth and gums, and can aid digestion as saliva contains enzymes such as Amylase. The natural rubber surface also scrapes food particles and odour causing bacteria off your pet's tongue, promoting fresher breath. SERVE HEALTHY TREATS -The magic of this is that it challenges your pet 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. 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.
