FAQs

Is the LickiMat Playdate safe for all pets?

Yes, it is made from food-grade rubber and is safe for dogs and cats. However, it is not a chew toy and should be used under supervision, especially with pets that tend to chew or destroy objects.

What types of food can I use with the LickiMat Playdate?

You can use soft, spreadable foods like wet pet food, yogurt, peanut butter, cream cheese, pureed fruits and vegetables, and bone broth. It's also suitable for supplements and medications.

How does the LickiMat help with anxiety?

The act of licking releases endorphins, which have a calming and soothing effect on pets. This distraction can help reduce stress during anxious moments.

Can I freeze treats on the LickiMat?

Yes, freezing treats on the LickiMat makes it more challenging and extends the licking time, providing greater engagement and a longer-lasting distraction.

How often should I clean the LickiMat?

It is recommended to clean the LickiMat after each use to ensure hygiene and prevent bacteria growth.

Is this mat suitable for puppies or kittens?

Yes, it can be a great tool for young pets to learn positive behaviors and get used to feeding routines, always with supervision.

What is the difference between LickiMat Playdate and other LickiMat models?

The Playdate features a classic surface pattern designed for spreading soft treats. Other models like the Soother or Buddy have different textures for varied licking challenges. The Tuff models are made from a more durable material for persistent chewers.

Troubleshooting

Pet is not interested in licking the mat.

Try a different spread or treat that your pet loves. Ensure the spread is applied to all textures. For dogs, consider using a less common but highly palatable treat.

Pet is trying to chew the mat.

This mat is not a chew toy. Supervise your pet closely during use. If your pet is a persistent chewer, consider a more durable LickiMat model like the Tuff series.

Food residue is difficult to remove.

Soak the mat in warm water for a few minutes before cleaning. Using a soft brush or sponge can help dislodge stubborn bits. The dishwasher is also an effective cleaning method.
