Lick Lick Pad Dog Distraction Lick Mat, Large

What a great idea!! And its a perfect distraction when needed. The shape makes it smaller than the other mats you can buy. The nubs that hold the treat are not too large so it's easy to clean. The silicone will stick on any flat surface, just be sure you keep it clean. If the silicone back is dirty it won't stick. Our pup gets excited when she sees it. We will buy a second one! We don't want this going out of stock!!! It's a must in a puppy household!! Be sure to supervise use - you're pup may pull it up and run when finished ;)

My little yorkie absolutely loves this lick pad. She has a food allergy so we can’t give her treats. I spread a teaspoon of her canned prescription dog food on this lick pad and she thinks it’s her special treat. She just loves it.

I recently rescued a senior Shih-Tzu who was unable to eat out of bowls or plates because of her fractured lower mandible. She also does not have teeth making it almost impossible for her to pick up food. I thought to get her a lick pad since she eats by pushing her food around with her tongue, and picking up what she can. I just put this Large lick pad on a big ceramic plate and she does amazing with it! I smear soft kibble, peanut butter, smash in treats, soft food, whatever will stick to it and away she goes! She finally can eat on her own without my help and really has fun in the process! I am so happy and I am so excited to nurse this incredible senior angel to health!

I bought this for my second dog as I already have a different kind of lick mat for my first dog and I didn’t want them to have to share. The idea behind this product is great in a sense that it does stick to many surfaces but it is not very big. It took my dog less than 5 minutes to lick off all the pumpkin from this mat. Although it is very easy to clean the bumps on the mat do not make it very hard for the dog to lick off any kind of treat.

I tried to use this on the shower wall to try and give my dog a bath, but it wouldn't stick. Then I put it on the kitchen floor for him to finish, but it slid all over, getting peanut butter everywhere. Luckily he was very thorough cleaning up after himself, haha

The amount of bad reviews complaining that their dogs destroyed this are disconcerting. My question to those reviewers: Why aren’t you supervising your dogs? I think this deserves 3 stars but I’m giving 5 in the hopes of balancing out the unfairly low ratings. I would never for the life of me label this size as “large.” It’s way, way smaller than it looks in the pictures (my bad for not reading the measurements). Overall, it serves its purpose. It sticks firmly to nonporous surfaces and gives my pup an enriching way to eat a special treat. The downside is that it’s so tiny that even when frozen he cleans it in about 8 minutes.

It was great for keeping my energetic pup occupied. but I wish it had been a little more durable for the active chewer, because when the peanut butter was gone he ripped it up.

my dog loves it with some peanut butter! i do a light layer and it is so easy to spread a little PB across the whole matt so you dont give him too much. sticks and unsticks to the floors very easily as well.

To be fair, my golden retriever is a strong chewer but this was much thinner than I expected. I had the same experience another reviewer did. He loved licking the peanut butter but then he pulled it off the floor and ripped a piece of it off. It was a good idea but very thin, easily destroyable material. Also for size large, in my opinion it was small. This would be better for a small dog who doesn’t chew everything.

Purchased lick lick pad to help distract 5 year old corgi from barking when doorbell or phone rang. I spread a bit of baby food beef on it and it worked great. However he licked the meat off and proceeded to shred the pad. I got about 2 weeks use out of it and had to throw it out. I was afraid he would ingest/swallow some of it. It was a very flimsy material. The concept was a good idea, but the product was poor quality. I need to find a better one.
