LickMix & LickMat – The Dynamic Duo for Calm, Happy, and Enriched Dogs

May 05, 2025 | Woof Team
LickMix and LickMat for Dogs

Looking for an easy, enriching, and calming treat experience for your pup? Meet the ultimate duo: LickMix & LickMat. Designed to soothe anxious dogs, slow down eating, and bring joy to treat time, this combo is quickly becoming a must-have in every dog parent's routine. Let’s dive deep into why this pair is more than just a toy and treat—it’s a wellness ritual for your dog.

What Is a LickMat?

The LickMat is a textured silicone mat that turns ordinary treat time into a mentally stimulating activity. Dogs are naturally soothed by licking, and the LickMat’s ridges and grooves make them work for their reward, slowing down their intake and extending enjoyment.

  • Reduces Anxiety: Licking releases calming endorphins.
  • Improves Digestion: Slower eating promotes healthier gut function and reduces bloating.
  • Durable & Safe: Made from BPA-free, dishwasher-safe silicone.

Available solo or as part of our convenient LickMat Starter Pack and advanced LickMat Alpha Pack.

Introducing LickMix

LickMix is a mix-and-spread powder designed specifically for your LickMat. When mixed with water, it transforms into a jello-like texture that clings to the mat and keeps your dog licking longer. And no need to freeze it—just mix and spread!

  • Fast & Easy: Mix with water in seconds.
  • Sticks Perfectly: Gel consistency is designed for licking.
  • Flavorful & Allergy-Friendly: No chicken, made in the USA, and packed with nutrients.

Flavors Made for Wagging Tails

  • Bacon & Cheese LickMix: A savory blend with real bacon fat, cheddar, and carrots.
  • Calming LickMix: Enriched with beef gelatin, goat milk, flaxseed, and purple sweet potato to naturally support relaxation.

How It Works – Easy as 1, 2, 3

  1. Scoop: Mix 1:1 ratio of powder to water in the LickMat’s built-in bowl.
  2. Spread: Apply the mixture over the ridged outer sides of the mat.
  3. Repeat: Suction it to any smooth surface for a calm, enriching distraction—no freezer required!

Tip: One tablespoon per 25 lbs of your dog’s weight is a great place to start.

Better Than Peanut Butter

While peanut butter is a common choice for treat mats, it’s often high in sugar, calories, or xylitol (which is toxic to dogs). LickMix is:

  • Healthier: Thoughtfully sourced, dog-safe ingredients.
  • Cleaner: Non-staining and easy to rinse.
  • Designed for Dogs: Made with canine wellness in mind—not just human leftovers.

FAQs About LickMix & LickMat

  • Will LickMix stain? Nope! Even the colorful Calming version won’t stain surfaces or fur.
  • Can dogs with allergies use it? Yes! Both flavors are chicken-free and made in a facility that follows strict allergy protocols.
  • How long does one bag last? Each bag yields 10+ LickMat sessions when used as directed (1:1 ratio).
  • Does it come with a scoop? We’ve removed scoops to reduce plastic waste. Just use a standard tablespoon!
  • How long will my dog lick for? Depends on how much you use and your dog’s enthusiasm. Most sessions last 10–20 minutes.

Clean-Up is a Breeze

Every component of the LickMat and its bowl is dishwasher safe. Just rinse or pop it in with your regular load—done.

How Does It Compare to Pupsicle Mix?

LickMix and Pupsicle Mix serve different but complementary purposes. Pupsicle Mix is designed to freeze inside the Pupsicle treat toy. LickMix, on the other hand, is optimized for spreading directly onto the LickMat, no freezer needed.

When to Use LickMat & LickMix

  • Before car rides or vet visits to reduce anxiety
  • During grooming like nail trimming or brushing
  • As a bedtime wind-down routine to promote calm
  • To distract during Zoom calls or work-from-home meetings
