Buddies Silicone Slow-Feed Licking Mat — Calm-Down Enrichment Mat for Anxious & Fast-Eating Dogs | Food-Grade, Suction Base
Description
The Buddies Silicone Licking Mat is the enrichment mat vets and trainers recommend for anxious, fast-eating and under-stimulated dogs. Spread a little wet food, plain yoghurt or peanut butter across the four textured compartments and turn a two-minute meal into fifteen minutes of calming, brain-engaging licking.
Why owners love it
- Calms anxious dogs: repetitive licking releases endorphins, cutting stress from vet visits, thunderstorms, groom days and being left alone.
- Slows fast eaters 5×: turns a 2-minute meal into 15 minutes, cutting bloat, reflux and post-meal vomiting.
- Food-grade silicone: BPA-free, freezer-safe, dishwasher-safe. Freeze with wet food for a 30-minute enrichment session.
- Suction base grips tile & laminate: sticks flat to the kitchen floor, crate, bath or fridge so your dog can't push it away.
- 4-compartment slow-feed pattern: gentle grooves suit puppies and are kind to senior dogs' tongues.
Who it's for
Anxious rescues, dogs that eat too fast, puppies still learning meal manners, seniors who need slower feeding, groom-day and bath-time distraction, crate-training and long car journeys.

very impressed
As a first time dog owner I was doing loads of research before buying anything for my puppy. This came highly recommended in a facebook group and I can see why. Really well made, great quality, and the puppy has taken to it beautifully.
Second one weve bought. Just as good as the first. Says it all really.

Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know before you buy. Still unsure? Our UK team is happy to help.
Contact us →What should I spread on it?
Wet dog food, plain natural yoghurt, mashed banana, plain peanut butter (xylitol-free), soaked kibble or homemade purée. Freeze for longer sessions.
Will the suction actually hold?
Yes, on hard flat surfaces — tile, laminate, glass, the side of a bath. Rougher surfaces or fluffy rugs won't grip, so put it on the floor tile or in the crate.
Is it safe if my dog chews it?
It's designed for licking, not chewing. Supervise heavy chewers and remove once the food is finished. Food-grade silicone, but not indestructible.
How do I clean it?
Top-rack dishwasher safe, or a quick warm-water rinse between meals.
