A dog's best friend!
You'll always be your dog's #1 BFF, but even pet parents need a helping hand when their furry family members get the zoomies. The Rugged Pugs licking mats are perfect for reactive pups, nervous lickers, chewers, or animals who just get the wags and wiggles! Licking mats encourage dogs (and cats!) of all sizes and ages to redirect their licking and energy toward the food on the mats. The fun patterns on each mat are boredom-busters that make treat or mealtime more interactive than a standard bowl and can help calm a pet's separation anxiety, nervous chewing and licking, and stress.

How do Rugged Pug mats work?
Our licking mats are incredibly human and pet friendly! For humans, all they have to do is select what treat they want to give their pet and spread it over the mat using the silicone spatula. The mat can then be given directly to the pup or placed in the freezer bag to create an icy treat for some summer-friendly snacking. Once the mats are within tongue's reach, your pet can lick to their heart's content until they've licked the mat clean. Once the dog or cat is done, use the cleaning brush to remove any leftovers, and wash the mat with warm water and pet-safe soap.

When is the right time to use the mat?
Anytime, anywhere! Licking mats are a great pet enrichment toy that rewards pets for good behavior, slow down meal time, and boosts pet happiness. Use the mats for vet visits, crate training, grooming, and nail clipping sessions. Build your pet's confidence and security by placing the mats in a new spot they're unfamiliar with, or help keep them calm during thunderstorms and fireworks.

Health and safety are our pet priority!
To ensure your pets receive top-dog quality toys and supplies, the Rugged Pug uses only high-quality, 100% food and pet-safe silicone materials. The ridges on the mats encourage pleasurable licking, which generates saliva to promote healthier teeth, gums, and fresher breath.
