■ Product Introduction

[Prevents fast eating and reduces stress]

It's certainly cute to see dogs and cats eating vigorously, but eating too quickly comes with various risks, such as obesity, vomiting, and indigestion.
Ricky Mat Buddy encourages your pet to take their time and enjoy their meal.
Surprisingly, licking can be a great stress reliever for pets.
Repeated licking causes the release of relaxing hormones in your pet's body, making them feel calm.
This effect, recommended by veterinarians, helps pets remain calm in situations where they are likely to feel anxious, such as when you are away alone or during thunder or fireworks.

[Also effective for oral health and digestion]

Licking stimulates your pet's saliva production.
This helps to reduce bacterial growth in the mouth and helps maintain healthy teeth and gums.
Saliva also contains enzymes that aid in digestion, which helps with the digestion of food.
Additionally, using Ricky Mat Buddy allows your pet to feel satisfied with a smaller portion of food than usual, which helps control calorie intake.
This is also effective in preventing obesity.

[Enrich your pet's life with a variety of uses]

RickyMat Buddy is very easy to use.
Simply spread a thin layer of your pet's favorite wet food, yogurt, or mashed banana on the surface and you're ready to go.
If you use dry food, it is a good idea to break it up into small pieces and place it on the mat.
Since it is made of 100% silicone, it can be heated in the microwave.
Also, if you freeze it in the freezer, it makes a great cool snack for hot summer days.
The possibilities for use are endless, depending on your ideas.

■ Recommended usage scenarios

• Preparing for when you're away from home : Preparing before you leave can help reduce loneliness and stress for your pet.
  
• Stress reduction : Great for distracting your pet from scary situations like thunder and fireworks.
  
• Training aid : Use it as a distraction during stressful situations like vet visits or nail clipping.
  
• Beat the summer heat : Freeze it and enjoy it as a cool snack.
  
• Health management : It is also useful when mixing supplements and medications.
  
• Daily snack time : This is a way to enjoy regular snacks for longer, making them more enjoyable every day.

■ Reasons why we recommend this product

Rickymat Classic Buddy Turquoise was developed in collaboration with Australian veterinarians.
The cross-shaped bumps on the surface encourage your pet to take more time to lick up the food, naturally slowing down their eating pace.
This licking behavior not only extends the mealtime, but also contributes greatly to your pet's mental stability.

Made from 100% safe silicone, it is non-slip on flooring and can be used in microwaves and freezers.
It can be used flexibly depending on the season and purpose, and is recommended as an item that will enrich your pet's daily life.

This item kills two birds with one stone by stimulating your pet's curiosity while also supporting their health.
