LickiMat Tuff Soother-Orange

LickiMat® TUFF Soother™: The Ultimate Durable Anxiety Reducer & Boredom Buster
 
The LickiMat® TUFF Soother™ offers an exciting combination of durability and enrichment, designed to help reduce anxiety, alleviate boredom, and provide mental stimulation for dogs. It’s the perfect solution for dogs who need extra mental engagement, especially those who are teething, high-energy, or prone to chewing. This innovative mat not only helps with feeding but is also ideal for promoting relaxation and improving oral health.
 
Why the LickiMat® TUFF Soother™ Is Different
Durability for Chewers: The LickiMat TUFF Soother™ is made from a tough blend of non-toxic food-grade TPR rubber and polypropylene, designed to be chew-resistant. While not chew-proof, it’s perfect for dogs who love to chew but need something more robust than the typical mat. For more persistent chewers, you can pair it with the LickiMat Keeper™ for additional protection.
Dishwasher Safe: The TUFF Soother™ is fully dishwasher safe, making it easy to clean after your dog enjoys their treat. If your dishwasher has a high-temperature drying cycle, be sure to place it on the top tray for best results. This convenience makes it ideal for frequent use and ensuring hygiene.
Promotes Slower Feeding & Healthier Habits: Like the regular LickiMat Soother™, the TUFF Soother™ encourages slower eating by providing a textured surface that makes your dog work for their food or treats. This promotes better digestion and reduces bloating, which is a common issue for dogs that eat too quickly. It’s an excellent alternative to slow-feed bowls, especially for small and medium dogs.
Perfect for Free Work: The LickiMat TUFF Soother™ is a fantastic addition to Free Work sessions. It provides mental stimulation by encouraging your dog to explore and work for their food at their own pace. The challenge of licking treats off the mat keeps them focused and calm, making it a great tool for relaxation or when you need your dog to unwind during stressful situations like thunderstorms, vet visits, or grooming.
Variety of Treats & Uses: This mat is perfect for all types of soft and liquid treats such as yogurt, purees, bone broth, fruit spreads, and more. You can also freeze these treats on the mat for a longer-lasting challenge. The textured surface is designed to stimulate your dog’s tongue, enhancing their sense of taste while providing a pleasurable licking experience.
Improves Oral Health: The act of licking from the LickiMat TUFF Soother™ helps generate saliva, which is not only soothing but also beneficial for your dog’s oral health. The increased saliva production helps clean their teeth and gums, promoting better digestion and fresher breath.

Whether used for feeding, anxiety reduction, or mental enrichment, the TUFF Soother™ helps support healthy behaviors and promotes your dog’s well-being, especially when incorporated into Free Work sessions.
