The LickiMat can really help to reduce those anxiety levels which may even simply stem from boredom, just like humans dogs need their minds entertaining and stimulating throughout the day.
Spread a layer of your dogs favourite food onto this mat and as they spend their time licking it off, their body will naturally release endorphins which are the feel good hormones that they need to de stress and feel happy.
It’s a great way of distracting them through stressful events such as vet trips, having guests round, fireworks and any situation where your dog feels uncomfortable. This is also a great option for crate training too as it makes the process less daunting and more enjoyable.
Vets thoroughly recommend this product as it is a natural, cheap and effective way to help your dog reduce anxiety. It diverts their attention and makes them focus on the task and it reinforces good behaviour which results in a happier and healthier dog.
