■ Product Introduction

[The importance of licking behavior]

Licking is actually a very important behavior for dogs in maintaining their physical and mental health.
Veterinarians say that licking can help relieve stress and calm your pet.
The Rickymat Classic Soother Green is an innovative product designed to harness this instinctive dog behaviour and help reduce anxiety, stress and boredom.

[Relaxing effect on mind and body]

The textured surface of the mat provides excellent stimulation for your dog's tongue.
The repeated licking action releases endorphins (happy hormones), which has a natural relaxing effect.
The soother type in particular is designed to, as its name suggests, have the effect of calming your dog.

[Oral care and digestive support]

Licking stimulates saliva production, which helps maintain healthy teeth and gums.
The digestive enzymes contained in saliva, such as amylase, can also be expected to help digest food.
Additionally, the natural rubber surface removes food particles and odor-causing bacteria from the tongue, helping to prevent bad breath.

[Preventing fast eating and slow feeding]

If your dog tends to eat quickly, this mat is an effective solution.
The unevenness of the mat prevents food from being consumed all at once, naturally encouraging slow feeding.
This reduces the risk of bloating and indigestion and supports the development of healthy eating habits.

[Easy to use]

Ricky Mat is very easy to use.
Simply spread or press your favorite treats or meals, such as yogurt, peanut butter, wet food, or fruit puree, onto the surface of the mat.
You can also freeze the matted treats to enjoy them for a longer period of time.
