Aquapaw Slow Treater Silicone Lick Mat

My puppies needed their second bath. The first one was a nightmare. I bought four of these, filled them with peanut butter and froze them. Then I stuck one on the shower wall and lured my four month old Old English Bulldog male into the shower and showed him the peanut butter. The licking began. Then I wet him down and his concentration broke. I lured him back and I soaped him up. After that it was smooth sailing. I dried him off and brought him and his lick mat into the kitchen and stuck it to the compactors he could finish his treat. Then it was my six month old females Old English Bulldogs turn. She bought into the peanut butter until the water started running. Again I lured her back to the My puppies needed their second bath. The first one was a nightmare.

After she was dried off her mat went on the dishwasher so she could finish her treat. My boy went for her mat since he had about finished his so I gave her a new one. See pics below. He is on the left and she is on the right. If you have a dog that is the least bit into food this is a great way to get some of those things done while making you and your pet happy. … more

My dog grows long fur and needs to be clipped. She would always be scared and try to hide when she saw the clippers. The first time I put some peanut butter into Aquapaw she followed me right into the bathroom. I was able to clip her without her caring what I was doing. No more being scared as long as she could lick away at the peanut butter.

The pad works well enough but the suction pad tore the first time it was washed in the dishwasher top rack. Now it doesn’t stay stuck with only 2 suction cups and can’t be used. Also, when used on glass shower doors, it makes an oily peanut butter mess.

Our cat eats his wet food too fast and pukes quickly after so we had to reduce the amount. This allows us to give a decent portion but is stimulating, makes him work hard, and slows him down. Love that it’s dishwasher safe too.

I really liked this product. It is small and high quality. We put peanut butter on it and then froze it, and had it ready for bath time and gland expression! Our dogs loved it and it really helped them stay distracted during bath time. I’ll be buying a second one soon so I can have both ready, since they definitely finished it before bath time was over. It is made of silicone, so if you let your dog sit there and chew on it, it will probably break, but just don’t let your dog do that!

We use this ALL the time. We've used it when bathing my dog, cutting his nails, brushing him. Basically anything he didn't like he now loves because he knows he gets his lick mat. I would say don't leave your dog alone with this. There was one instance where he finished the peanut butter and we didn't take it away quickly enough and he did slightly chew the side. If this product is used properly though you'll have great results!

I have three large dogs who don’t love bath time but also have skin problems that require frequent medicated baths, so this has been a lifesaver! Load it up with whatever makes your dog happy. We’ve used peanut butter, yogurt, canned food (pate, not the stuff in gravy...), cream cheese, etc. Frozen or not, this gives them something to focus on for the 10 minute soak time. This should definitely be used under supervision (as most toys should be) because I can easily see a dog tearing it up if left to their own devices. We just use it at bath time. Three dogs getting two baths a week...you do the math. We have gotten a LOT of use out of this! My only gripes are that the suction cups are a little I have three large dogs who don’t love bath time but also have skin problems that require frequent medicated baths, so this has been a lifesaver!

My only gripes are that the suction cups are a little on the weak side and I wish it was just slightly bigger. Overall, I’d still highly recommend! … more

I used this to help distract my 12 week puppy as I washed him. First, it stays in place on any even surface (textured tile is a no go). Second, it’s easy to remove. Third, because it’s flexible silicone (or rubber?) it’s very easy to clean.

This thing is the hardest thing to clean!! If anyone knows of a good method to clean that would be great… Otherwise it’s decent, only problem is that one of the sides does not stick very well which kind of sucks only used it twice

I purposely got this for my dog to use to distract her for when she is getting a shower. She doesn’t seem to like taking a shower or bath. It did the job, but then my dog chewed it apart. Unfortunately I had to throw it out because my dog chewed it up. If you have a chewer I wouldn’t recommend getting it or to ALWAYS have eyes on your dog when using this product.
