Fofos Licking Mat Pet Toy

FOFOS Licking Mat for Dogs & Cats | Slow-Feeding Enrichment & Anxiety Relief Tool

Make mealtimes calming, engaging, and mentally stimulating with the FOFOS Licking Mat — a specially designed enrichment tool that helps support anxiety reduction, encourage slow feeding, and promote healthier eating habits. Suitable for both dogs and cats, this mat features textured surfaces that hold treats, wet food, yogurt, peanut butter, and more, allowing your pet to lick slowly and stay focused.

The licking motion naturally encourages endorphin release, which may help pets relax during grooming, bathing, nail trimming, crate training, or stressful events. Made from food-grade, BPA-free silicone, the mat is safe, durable, and gentle on your pet's tongue and gums.

Available in attractive colors with different surface textures (pink droplet design and brown grid design), each mat provides a unique sensory experience that keeps pets entertained and mentally enriched.
