LickiMat Cat Playdate Tuff Series
LickiMat Cat Playdate Tuff Series is a calming lick mat designed to help cats and dogs settle through the natural, soothing action of licking. Licking can help release endorphins and promote calm behaviour, making this mat a practical tool for stress management, enrichment, and slower feeding in Australian homes.
This lick mat is ideal for busy pet owners who want a simple way to keep pets occupied, reduce boredom, and support calm routines. It is especially helpful during common stress moments such as vet visits, injections, bath time, nail clipping, injury recovery, thunderstorms, and fireworks.
Why licking helps calm pets
Licking is a natural behaviour that can help pets self-soothe. The repeated licking action encourages calm focus, which can reduce boredom and help pets settle in stressful situations. This makes LickiMat a useful tool for training calm behaviour and supporting positive routines.
When LickiMat is most useful in Australia
Australian pets can face stress from everyday routines and seasonal events. LickiMat can be used:
- When you leave home to reduce boredom
- Before and after vet visits to encourage calm focus
- During grooming, baths, and nail clipping
- During injury recovery when activity needs to be limited
- During thunderstorms and fireworks to support calmer behaviour
It can be especially helpful for cats in apartments or indoor-only homes in major cities such as Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, and Adelaide, where enrichment is key for indoor wellbeing.
Textured patterns designed for cats and dogs
The LickiMat textured patterns are designed to suit the tongues of both cats and dogs. The surface helps hold food in place while encouraging slower licking. This can extend treat time and make small portions last longer, which supports weight management and reduces rapid eating.
The licking action also enhances the sense of taste. Because food is spread thin across the mat, your pet can enjoy flavour without needing a large serving.
What you can put on a LickiMat
LickiMat works with many foods and treats, including:
- Wet cat food and wet dog food
- Yoghurt and other pet-safe soft foods
- Spreadable treats and pastes
- Raw food
- Dry food mixed with liquid for a slower snack
- Broths and liquid foods for gentle licking
Ideal for supplements and medication
LickiMat is also a simple way to deliver supplements and medications. You can mix small amounts into a spreadable treat so your pet stays focused on licking rather than resisting tablets or powders.
