Licking is a naturally repetitive behavior, and many trainers and owners use lick mats to give dogs something calm to focus on during stressful moments — thunderstorms, fireworks, nail trims or bath time. A lick mat isn't a treatment for anxiety, but it can be a helpful tool alongside training and your vet's advice.
What to look for
- Food-grade silicone or TPR that's easy to wash (dishwasher-safe is a bonus).
- Suction cups if you want to stick it to a tub or wall during grooming.
- Size and texture — deeper grooves make spreads last longer.
