Pop the mat on the top rack of your dishwasher or simply rinse it with warm water and a mild detergent. Once it’s dry, fold the suction cups inward so they won’t snag on other items in the drawer.

Remember, it’s not a chew toy—if your dog starts gnawing, take the mat away and offer the treat in a different form.

Dogs weren’t designed to lounge on the sofa—though they’re experts at it. Every breed once had a job: stalk and retrieve game, guard the flock, pull a sled. Today we expect them to sit through Teams meetings and snuggle for Netflix.

Interactive toys like LickiMat give your dog:

• A real “mission.” Lick, sniff, hunt, work for the reward.
• Mental + physical exercise in one, often more tiring than an hour‑long run.
• Fewer behaviour issues—fewer shredded shoes and less “I’m spinning and barking because I’m bored.”
• A richer daily routine. Mealtime turns into a game instead of a 30‑second gulp‑and‑gone.

In short, an interactive toy is your dog’s Sudoku—with a tasty prize in every square!

Treat ideas for the LickiMat are almost endless, but—for safety (and a tidy kitchen)—stick to a soft, spreadable texture and ingredients with no sugar, salt, xylitol, onions or garlic.
