KONG Licks

STICK IT, FILL IT, WATCH THEM GO TO WORK

Nail trims, baths, grooming sessions, some dogs simply need something better to focus on than what is about to happen. The KONG Licks is a KONG-shaped lick mat that sticks to any flat surface via two suction cups, holding Easy Treat paste, peanut butter, kibble, or wet food in its ridges and grooves for slow, sustained licking that naturally releases endorphins and helps keep dogs calmer and more distracted. The varied ridge textures maintain interest and help clean the tongue in the process.

Why it's a great choice

• Two suction cups for placement anywhere: The pair of suction cups means the mat can be fixed to a bath wall, tile floor, or any smooth vertical or horizontal surface, giving the owner control over exactly where the dog's focus lands during grooming or vet prep.

• Varied ridge shapes hold more food: Unlike a flat lick mat, the KONG Licks features multiple different ridge patterns that grip different textures of food, from thick peanut butter paste to wet food and kibble.

• Licking releases calming endorphins: Licking is a natural canine self-soothing behaviour that triggers the release of endorphins, making this mat genuinely useful as a training and management tool during stressful moments, not just a treat holder.

• KONG-iconic shape: Shaped like the classic KONG, the mat holds particular appeal for dogs who already associate the KONG silhouette with good things, making engagement immediate and positive.

Key benefits for your Dog

• Calm during stressful moments: Used during grooming, nail trims, or vet exams, the sustained licking engages the dog's calming system, reducing anxiety and making otherwise difficult moments easier to manage for dog and owner alike.

• Boredom relief at mealtimes: A regular meal packed into the ridged surface becomes a slow-feed enrichment activity rather than a bowl that is emptied in thirty seconds, promoting calmer eating and better digestion.

• Helps clean tongue and teeth: The ridged surface creates gentle friction as the dog licks, helping to clean the tongue surface and remove some plaque build-up over time as a welcome secondary benefit.

An ideal distraction tool for bath time, nail trims, and grooming sessions, as well as an enrichment lick mat for daily slow feeding across all breed sizes.
