The LickiMat® Tuff Buddy™ is a heavy-duty lick mat designed for enthusiastic chewers and teething puppies. Made from extra-strong, human-grade TPR bonded to a tough plastic base, it offers enhanced durability compared to standard lick mats.
Its square-pocket texture is ideal for holding chunky treats, wet food, raw diets, or spreads, turning feeding time into a long-lasting and calming activity. The structured surface encourages natural licking behaviour, which helps regulate emotions and promote relaxation.
Tuff Buddy™ provides a strong calming effect and is especially helpful during stressful situations such as air-raid sirens, thunderstorms, fireworks, grooming sessions, or when dogs are left alone. Licking helps dogs self-soothe, reduce anxiety, and stay focused.
This lick mat also supports healthier feeding habits for fast eaters by slowing down food intake and improving digestion. It can be used daily or during specific moments when your dog needs comfort and distraction. For extended enrichment, it can be filled and frozen.
