How to use the LickiMat in the Summer
LickiMats are a great boredom buster for dogs and cats. These mats are textured and the idea behind this so that you can spread your pet's favourite treats or food such as yoghurt, peanut butter, mushy vegetables, meat or fish, onto the textued surface for them to lick/eat off. This will not only encourage your cat or dog to eat more slowly, thus aiding digestive health, but it will also be a fun and interesting game for them. During the summer months you can freeze the treats & food for refreshing long lasting entertainment.
