A calm, slow-feeding “lick session” for big dogs - perfect for wet food, raw, and frozen treats.
Bring a little more harmony to mealtimes (and stressful moments). The LickiMat Buddy XL turns food into a calming activity that keeps your dog busy, satisfied, and slower with every lick.
An extra-large slow feeder mat that keeps big dogs calm, busy, and eating slower.
Why Your Dog will Love It:
Calms stress + reduces boredom: Licking is soothing and helps your dog settle during storms, fireworks, recovery time, or crate rest.
Slows gulping for healthier digestion: Helps reduce fast eating and supports better tummy comfort.
Made for wet food, raw, and soaked kibble: Great with yoghurt, bone broth, purees, pate, cooked pumpkin, and more.
Extra large for bigger dogs + group feeding: More space means longer engagement and less mess.
Freezer-friendly for longer-lasting treats: Freeze layered treats for a longer calm session.
Supports oral hygiene: Licking encourages saliva, which helps support fresher breath and mouth health.
