LickiMat Soother TUFF – Durable Enrichment Mat for Large Dogs
Specially designed for larger dogs and power chewers, the LickiMat Soother TUFF offers a robust and rewarding licking experience. Vet-developed in Australia, this chew-resistant enrichment mat turns treat time into a soothing, health-boosting ritual. The Soother TUFF’s unique soft rubber texture is ideal for calming dogs through prolonged licking, promoting relaxation and supporting oral hygiene.
Engineered for Chewers & Bigger Breeds
Unlike standard LickiMats, the TUFF range is made from tougher, dishwasher-safe materials that resist aggressive chewing. Perfect for teething puppies or large dogs with strong jaws, it’s a safe, long-lasting alternative to metal or ceramic bowls. Supervise during initial use to ensure positive engagement.
Calms, Soothes, and Stimulates
The Soother surface promotes repetitive licking which releases endorphins to help reduce anxiety, boredom, and destructive behavior. Ideal for use during grooming, thunderstorms, fireworks, or crate training, it encourages calm behavior without medication. The licking motion also stimulates saliva production, supporting digestive enzymes and cleaning the tongue, teeth, and gums naturally.
Versatile Slow Feeder for Raw, Wet & Soft Foods
The Soother TUFF is designed for soft or runny foods like yogurt, purees, or pet-safe peanut butter. You can spread treats over the mat or press them into the rubber surface for a longer-lasting reward. It slows feeding, improves digestion, and helps manage portion sizes. For an extended treat, freeze it with bone broth or wet food!

LickiMat Buddy XLarge – The Ultimate Slow Feeder & Enrichment Mat for Large Dogs
The LickiMat Buddy XLarge is the perfect solution for large dog breeds who need both mental stimulation and calming relief during feeding time. Specifically designed with an intricate, cross-maze texture, this mat turns your dog’s meals or treats into an engaging, reward-based activity that helps reduce stress and anxiety.
With its ample surface area, the Buddy XLarge provides enough room to spread wet, dry, raw, or even liquid foods, and treats to encourage licking. Licking releases endorphins, promoting calm behavior while also enhancing your dog’s overall digestion and oral health.
The Many Benefits of the LickiMat Buddy XLarge
Reduced Anxiety & Boredom: Licking action encourages a calming hormone release, reducing stress and boredom in dogs, especially during stressful situations like storms or vet visits.
Slow Feeding: The Buddy XLarge works perfectly as a slow feeder, preventing your dog from eating too quickly and promoting healthy digestion. The mat works seamlessly with both dry and wet foods.
Improved Oral Health: As your dog licks the mat, the rubber tips gently scrape and stimulate their tongue, which increases saliva production. This helps clean teeth and gums while freshening breath.
Training Aid: LickiMats are popular among trainers and behaviorists, particularly for reducing crate training time and aiding in behavior modification. It’s a great way to keep your dog engaged and focused while learning.
Longer Treat Time: Spread out a smaller portion of treat or food and watch your dog engage with it for a longer time. This not only enriches their experience but also helps reduce calorie intake from treats.
Medical-Free Calm: The Buddy XLarge promotes calming behavior without the use of medication, making it a great alternative for anxious dogs.
Multipurpose Use: Ideal for home use, veterinary care, grooming, or even bath time — the Buddy XLarge can help keep your dog focused and calm during these routines.
Ideal for large dogs or multi-pet households, this extra-large version of the LickiMat Buddy gives your dog plenty of space to enjoy their food, treats, or frozen snacks. Perfect for turning mealtime into a fun, mentally stimulating experience that benefits both their body and mind.
