The TRIXIE Junior Licking Mat is a fun, engaging, and interactive way to feed your cat or dog. The licking mat slows down your pet's eating which improves digestion and minimizes bloating. Use the licking mat to relieve anxiety during grooming sessions, like nail trimming and bath time. Does your pet get stressed during a thunderstorm? Place their favorite flavor on the licking plate to keep them distracted. The raised edge prevents food from spilling out. Easy to clean.
