LickiMat Tuff Heavy-Duty Dog Slow Feeders

by LickiMat

Price $15-$18
Rating ★★★★ 4.3/5 (11 reviews)
Category Lick Mats
Best For Ideal for dogs that damage thinner mats and need a more durable, more challenging licking surface.

The LickiMat Tuff series is designed as a more durable alternative to softer lick mats, using a thick rubber-like food-grade material with non-slip feet for stability. Its deeper textures hold wet, raw, and chunky foods more effectively than many standard mats, helping extend licking time for enrichment, slower feeding, and anxiety relief.

West Paw Zogoflex Toppl Treat Dispensing Dog Chew Toy

by West Paw

Price $25-$30
Rating ★★★★★ 4.5/5 (448 reviews)
Category Puzzle Toys
Best For Ideal for food-motivated dogs who enjoy licking and foraging and are moderate chewers rather than extreme power chewers.

The Toppl is a treat-dispensing puzzle bowl made from soft yet durable Zogoflex material. Dogs work to lick, nudge, paw, or twist out wet food, kibble, or treats held in place by interior teeth, and the toy can also be frozen to extend playtime. Its open bowl shape makes it easy to fill and clean, and interlocking size combinations can increase the challenge.
