Elevating Your Dog's Mealtime with Enrichment

THE FEAST MAT IS AN ALL-IN-ONE SLOW FEEDER AND LICK MAT

Enrich your dog's mealtime while promoting calmness and mental engagement. Enhance their eating habits and overall well-being by integrating a tool that encourages natural behaviours and challenges their mind with every meal.

Understanding Lick Mats and Slow Feeders

Lick mats feature textured surfaces that encourage dogs to lick, triggering the release of calming endorphins and reducing anxiety. They're designed to engage your dog's natural foraging instincts through repetitive licking.

In contrast, slow feeders incorporate maze-like designs and obstacles to slow down eating pace. This helps prevent food gulping, improves digestion, and encourages problem-solving skills as dogs navigate to access their meal.

Benefits of Using Both

Novelty and variety is stimulating. Both lick mats and slow feeders go beyond slowing mealtime - they provide mental stimulation, foster a sense of accomplishment through contrafreeloading activities, and support overall cognitive health by engaging dogs in interactive feeding.

Unique Features of the Feast Mat

The Feast Mat excels with its reversible design and secure non-slip construction, making it suitable for dogs of all sizes. Crafted from West Paw’s Seaflex material, which includes recycled ocean-bound plastic, it ensures durability and environmental responsibility.
