Ricky Mat Classic Soother Green: Helps your dog relax

When it comes to your dog's physical and mental health, it's important to incorporate relaxation time into their daily lives. The Ricky Mat Classic Soother Green is a special lickable mat developed to help your dog relax.

The appeal of licking mats recommended by veterinarians and animal behaviorists

Licking is an incredibly important behavior for dogs. Veterinarians say that licking can help relieve stress and calm the mind. This Licky Mat was designed to utilize this instinctive behavior in dogs to reduce anxiety, stress, and boredom.

The Ricky Mat Classic Soother Green features a unique brush tip design on the surface that makes it easy to coat soft foods and liquid treats like yogurt, purees, and gravies.

Easy-to-use size and safe material

Its compact size of 20cm x 20cm (8 inches x 8 inches) makes it suitable for a wide range of dogs, from small to medium-sized. Made from food-grade, non-toxic TPR material, it is free of silicone, BPA, and phthalates, making it safe for even the most concerned pet owner.

Multifunctional to support your dog's health and happiness

The Rickymat Classic Soother Green is more than just a dish; it also has functionality that supports your dog's health and happiness in many ways.

Relaxing effect on the mind and body

The textured surface of the mat provides a subtle stimulation for your dog's tongue. Repeated licking stimulates the release of endorphins (happiness hormones), which naturally relaxes your dog. The "Soother" type, as its name suggests, is designed to calm your dog.

Oral care and digestive support

Licking stimulates saliva production, which helps maintain healthy teeth and gums. Saliva contains digestive enzymes, such as amylase, which aid in food digestion. 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 the perfect solution. The textured surface prevents them from consuming food all at once, naturally encouraging slow feeding. This reduces the risk of bloating and indigestion and supports healthy eating habits.

How to use it in a variety of situations

The Ricky Mat Classic Soother Green is super easy to use. Simply spread or press your favorite treats or meals, like yogurt, peanut butter, wet food, or fruit puree, onto the surface of the mat. You can also freeze the treats on the mat for longer enjoyment.

Effective use scenarios

• Reduces anxiety when owners go out
• Relieves stress from loud noises such as thunder and fireworks
• De-escalating before a veterinary visit
• Distractions during grooming, such as nail clipping and shampooing
• Prevents boredom in the cage
• Mental care during recovery from injury or illness
• Allowing quiet time during online meetings

Precautions for use and care

We recommend supervising your dog during first use to ensure they do not chew on the mat. It may not be suitable for teething puppies or dogs that tend to chew on everything. In such cases, we recommend our Ricky Mat Tuff range, which has a more robust design.

To clean it after use, simply wash it by hand with warm soapy water.It is microwave-safe, so you can enjoy a variety of foods and snacks.

An ideal enrichment tool born from dog behavior

From the perspective of animal behavior, licking mats like the Ricky Mat are attracting attention as an "enrichment" tool that satisfies dogs' natural behavioral needs. By providing moderate stimulation and satisfaction in daily life, you can maintain your dog's mental health.

Take the first step towards enriching your life with your dog by getting the Ricky Mat Classic Soother Green. The calming moments that come from licking will help to further strengthen the bond between you and your dog.
