Description
The product is a shallow silicone hexagonal shaped licking mat designed for use by dogs. It is intended to hold wet food, soft treats, or pastes, allowing the dog to lick the contents from the surface. The mat incorporates raised patterned designs which help to slow the rate of feeding by making the food more difficult to access. The mat is a golden yellow colour representing a honeycomb shape with a bee near the middle. It is also designed to provide enrichment by keeping a dog occupied or distracted during use. The mat measures 17 cm x 15 cm x 1.6 cm. The mat has 6 suction caps on the underside to keep the mat securely in place. The licking mat is manufactured from BPA-free silicone. The product is supplied packaged in a cardboard wrap displaying the product details.
