★★★★★
Great for calming my anxious dog
This mat really helps soothe my dog during stressful moments. She loves licking peanut butter off it, and it keeps her occupied for quite a while. Easy to clean too!

Slows down my puppy’s eating
My puppy used to gulp down treats, but with this mat, he licks and takes his time. It’s a good product, though it’s a bit small for larger dogs.

Easy to clean and use
I appreciate how simple this mat is to wash. Dishwasher safe is a huge plus. My cat enjoys it, especially when I spread wet food on it.
