Lickimat Tuff, Heavy-Duty Buddy, Dog Slow Feeder Lick Mat, Boredom Anxiety Reducer; Perfect for Food, Treats, Yogurt, or Peanut Butter, Fun Alternative to a Slow Feed Dog Bowl, Turquoise

I decided to try this one after my dog managed to lick his flexible LickiMat to death, but sadly it didn’t quite survive its first use. Definitely seems like a really sturdy mat, and looks nice too, but it seems to be little trickier for him to lick whatever’s on it off. Although it keeps him busy for longer, he only needed a minute while unsupervised to decide that the best way to get at the stuff on it was to eat the LickiMat too. I hadn’t intended to leave him for long periods with a it as I knew he’d definitely chew it, but I didn’t expect him to have a crack at it when I left him for a moment. I don’t really want to rate it any less than 5 stars though, as he loves the LickiMats, and was always excited whenever I got his previous one out. Definitely makes for great (supervised) entertainment for him.If you want a toy that you can leave with treats in for a dog who’s a chewer, I would highly recommend trying a Kong. It’s the only thing that’s endured my dog’s power-chewing, and it’s also the only toy I feel comfortable leaving him with when stuffed with treats.

Very happy, I purchased this one as it has a solid board so it doesn't bend when freezing. It has been amazing in the hot weather. As he's a lab, food doesn't last him very long but I would say this takes him a good 10 minutes to finish. I have been using natural yoghurt, fruit and cucumber and then freeze. Only down side is it is quite hard to clean as the food gets stuck in the grooves.

I spread some peanut butter on to this mat and as soon as my Labrador started licking it the + on it started coming off! This item is NOT FIT FOR PURPOSE & IS A HAZARD TO DOGS!

The LICKIMAT Buddy Tuff is not as tough as they would like you to think. Like many, I have experienced an over zealous Springer tear the LICKIMAT Buddy Tuff apart and it didn't take him long to do it either.In principle the design of the mat works, but if your pooch is like mine and has a ferocious lick, the small crosses that make up the grid are easily torn away from the main body of the mat.And it that were not bad enough, I inadvertently left said pooch alone with the mat once he had removed the dog friendly peanut butter and the good dog that he is, he decided to eat the mat, or at least one corner of it!So, buyer beware - if your dog is supervised and doesn't posses a lick so powerful it literally removes rubber from plastic, the LICKIMAT Buddy Tuff will do just fine. If your pooch is anything like mine, don't bother.

Useful to keep the dog entertained for a bit. I put a little dog peanut butter on, and it kept our dog focused and entertained for about 15 minutes! It also served to calm her down, which was exactly what was needed. I put it in the dishwasher to clean but it could easily be handwashed in hot soapy water with a brush.
