The LickiMat Classic Buddy XL is a flat, flexible feeding mat designed for dogs (and cats) that eat too fast or need mental stimulation at mealtimes. The XL size suits larger breeds or households feeding more than a small portion, and the textured surface holds spreadable foods like yoghurt, peanut butter, wet food or raw mince.

The rubber mat has a raised nubbed pattern that forces pets to lick rather than gulp, which slows feeding, aids digestion and encourages saliva production for oral health. The repetitive licking action is calming and is often used to manage separation anxiety, crate training, grooming sessions or vet visits. It's dishwasher safe on the top rack and can be frozen with food spread across it for a longer-lasting activity.

Owners reach for the Buddy XL when a standard bowl finishes in seconds or when a dog needs settling during a stressful moment. It's simple to clean, durable enough for daily use, and the XL footprint means it works for larger snouts that would overshoot a smaller mat.
