When the sun’s out and the pups are ready to play, it’s the perfect time to add something enriching and exciting to your dog’s day—enter the Licki Mat. These clever little mats are more than just a trend. They’re a simple but brilliant way to keep your dog happy, calm, and stimulated, especially during long summer days.
At Betty’s Paw Store, we’re all about natural enrichment, and this summer we’re bundling up the goodness with our brand new Licki Mat Summer Bundle—packed with everything your dog needs to stay cool, entertained, and tail-waggingly happy.
🧠 So, what is a Licki Mat?
If you’ve never tried one, a Licki Mat is a textured silicone mat designed to encourage your dog to slowly lick up whatever tasty treat you spread across it. Think peanut butter, banana mash, plain yogurt, or even some of our natural treat toppers. It’s kind of like a puzzle game that also doubles as a relaxing ritual.
💡 Why Dogs (and Owners) Love Them:
✅ Mental stimulation – Licking activates calming hormones in dogs and encourages focus and relaxation.
✅ Boredom buster – Perfect for when it’s too hot for long walks or you need your pup to chill out for a while.
✅ Slows down greedy eaters – Spread raw food or wet meals for a slower, more mindful feeding experience.
✅ Cooling summer treat hack – Pop it in the freezer with some dog-safe ingredients and you’ve got a fun, cooling snack!
✅ Great for anxiety – Vet visit? Fireworks? Grooming? Licki Mats can help ease stress and provide a healthy distraction.
