Designed and recommended by vets, this slow feeding plate is designed to provide your dog with an enriching, tasty activity that helps to enhance their overall health and wellbeing

It is an engaging tool, that challenges and rewards your pet over time, by giving your pet small portions of food or treats, every time they engage with the mat.

Dogs need mental and physical stimulation to keep them happy, healthy, and occupied. Dogs that are not stimulated, or rewarded for engaging in time occupying behaviour, can begin to display mischievous and problem behaviours around the home. A licking mat is a great way to engage your dog with an activity that both occupies and rewards

The plate makes eating an interactive activity rather than just a meal

• The surface of this plate makes it perfect for applying paste, wet, raw, and dry, foods and treat
• It has discrete “pockets” which will allow liquid/paste to be kept separate to more solid foods and treats when put on the plate
• A sturdy frame with non-slip base makes the plate durable and chew resistant
• Once your pet's favourite morsels are spread over the surface, they can pick up every bit until the plate is squeaky clean
• The small pockets on the surface of the plate makes eating a challenge, which slows the eating process and prolongs the enjoyment of the activity 
• The plate can be used with a small volume of tasty food or treats to provide a fun, lasting activity with fewer calories
• You can even freeze the treats to make the fun last longer and give the tongue a good workout

Great to use as a distraction during challenging experiences, or as a reward system during pet training – for example:

• For teaching pets to be still during grooming, bathing, nail clipping and vet examinations
• Encourage your pet to be calm and settled during car travel
• Rewards your pet for calm behaviour around the home or just relaxing in their bed
• Can provide a point of focus to distract them during fearful events

The plate can be used to slow down feeding rate

• The plate is fantastic for slowing down mealtime and to stop your dog gulping down their food in seconds – making it ideal for dogs who are prone to vomiting, bloating, or gagging from eating too fast
• Helps to prevent overfeeding and can assist with managing hunger – it makes food last much longer and a smaller volume of food can be placed on the plate, allowing you to provide smaller, and more frequent feeds
• Control of food portions and added energy required to access the food can assist with weight control
