LickiMat Classic Buddy

Licking is self-soothing for dogs, which makes this flat rubber mat the one to reach for in stressful moments: a bath, a nail trim, a vet's visit or a night of fireworks. The Buddy's grid of raised crosses grips thick spreads like wet food or soggy biscuits, and freezing it stretches a session considerably. It is thin and flexible and the maker says outright that it is not a chew toy, so stay in the room. A dog that starts working on the edges is better off with the thicker Tuff version.
