Product Description

Get ready to elevate your dog's calming enrichment routine with the ultra rugged LickiMat Tuff Playdate Dog Toy. Beautifully designed with a discrete, square pocketed grid pattern, this heavy duty enrichment mat brings a brilliant, highly durable twist to traditional treat feeding to keep your pet thoroughly entertained, focused, and relaxed.

The real secret behind the Tuff Playdate's incredible performance lies in its reinforced, rigid construction. While standard flexible mats can be easily chewed or flipped over by eager mouths, this advanced version is engineered with a tough, impact resistant polypropylene base wrapped in premium, food grade rubber. The uniform square grid layout is specifically designed to isolate and separate individual portions of chunky wet food, raw meat, kibble, and thick spreads. As your dog works carefully to lick every single morsel out of the pockets, the repetitive licking action triggers a natural release of soothing hormones, helping to drastically reduce indoor boredom, separation anxiety, and stress.

While the heavy duty layout stands up beautifully to daily kitchen use, it features integrated non slip rubber feet to keep the tray firmly anchored to your tile, wood, or linoleum floors. This ensures your dog can focus completely on their snack without chasing their dinner across the room.

Suitable For

Animal Type: Dogs (and cats too)

Breed Size: Universally sized to provide an excellent tongue workout for small, medium, and large dog breeds

Life Stage: Ideal for dogs of all ages, from teething young puppies to senior companions (perfect for teething pups or dogs that tend to lightly chew soft mats; though highly durable, it is still not a stationary chew toy, so supervise your pet during use)

How To Use

Use a spoon or flat spatula to firmly press raw food, canned wet food, mashed banana, or peanut butter deep into the square grid pockets.

Place the rigid tray flat on the kitchen floor or inside your dog's crate to create a calming, focus building snack routine.

Freeze the fully loaded mat for 2 to 3 hours before serving to create an extra challenging, long lasting summer treat.

Use the mat as a rewarding distraction tool to keep your dog cooperative during grooming, brushing, or nail clipping.

Run the tray under a hot tap and scrub with a soft brush, or simply pop it onto the top rack of your dishwasher for a quick, effortless clean.

Brand

LickiMat rooted its beginning in veterinary innovation, aiming to improve pet mental health through the natural act of licking. The brand focuses on medical insights showing that repetitive licking releases calming endorphins, reducing anxiety during storms or grooming. By utilising food grade, non toxic rubber surfaces, they create tactile challenges that turn feeding into an engaging game. This approach slows down fast eaters to improve digestion while stimulating saliva production to clean the tongue and support fresh breath for dogs and cats.

Trusty Pet Supplies brings this innovative enrichment directly to you with our stock of authentic LickiMat feeders. Our selection features popular textured mats like the Buddy and Playdate models, alongside interactive Wobble bowls, perfect for spreading tasty treats or raw meals. These durable boredom busters provide a healthy distraction, making them excellent for crate training or keeping pets occupied. As an independent family run business with two stores in Derby, we bring trusted expertise and convenient home delivery straight to pet owners across the UK.
