ANXIETY RELIEF & FUN: Licking helps reduce common dog anxieties such as separation, loud noises, travel, bathing, etc. with the stimulation of endorphins, giving a feeling of comfort and pleasure. Amazing soft, feel-good, puzzle maze-like nubs are great for smearing peanut butter to sprinkling dry treats onto the silicone paw pad for an interactive, sensory pet slow feeding and relaxing experience. Can be used anytime at home, outdoors or on the go. HEALTHY TREATING: Offering your dog a wide range of healthy snacks and textures keeps your pet healthy and happy. Smear on yogurts, peanut butter, chopped apple, etc. Bits of these treats fall into the nubs of the mat and create a longer and slower snack experience, hence fewer calories. Your pet will actively sniff and lick throughout and enjoy with all senses. Try freezing the pad with their favorite treat for a summertime treat. PUPPY FUN: Help keep your new hyper pup buddy busy & entertained, stimulated, and free of anxiety with this interactive licking puzzle toy game mat. Focus their attention on healthy eating and away from destructive behaviors. Great for bath time distraction. Easily stick your paw pad with its strong suction cups to the sides of bathing areas. Teach your puppy the habit of slow eating for a long lifetime of healthy mealtimes and treats. DOGS & CATS: The paw pad also is an amazing cat interactive treat maze & puzzle toy as well as a cat feeding mat vs. typical pet food bowls. Flat surfaces are a plus for cats and kittens as they don't interfere with their whiskers at meal and treat time.
