Tips, Tricks and How to Use your Bugalugs Lick Mat, Bowl or Pad
Bugalugs Lick Mat
An ideal boredom breaker, the Bugalugs Lick Mat keeps pets entertained and distracted whilst reducing stress and anxiety. Made with strong suction cups on the back, our Lick Mat can be stuck to smooth surfaces easily, including tiles, doors, walls and bathtubs. This helps to reduce your pet's anxiety around bath time or nail clipping, as they are distracted with their tasty Lick Mat treat!
The unique textures incorporated in the Lick Mat’s design stimulate saliva glands which aids digestions and slows down feeding to prevent bloat. Made with food-grade silicone, the Lick Mat is microwave, freezer and dishwasher safe, making it ideal to use all year around, for both hot and cold treats - throughout the winter and summer seasons.
It’s BPA-free ensuring the highest safety measures have been taken to provide your pet with only the best products. Within the design, the Lick Mat comes with a handy hook space for easy storage, as well as an anti-spill edge to prevent liquids from spilling over the sides.
Suitable for use with all our supplements, the lick mat is an ideal way to feed your pet the supplements they need in a fun and engaging way. Why not try fruit, meat or vegetables on the lick mat and introduce your pet to some new flavours and textures. The design of the Lick mat allows both solids and liquids to be used at the same time. The smaller design at the top of the mat is ideal for liquids like yogurt and coconut oil; whereas the larger more spaced-out design at the bottom of the lick mat is perfect for meats and more solid products. You can even feed your pet their normal meals on the lick mat to help slow down their eating, reduce bloat, prevent twisted stomachs and keep them fuller for longer.
A Bugalugs Top Tip! Why not try spreading our Peanut Butter on the upper, narrower pattern at the top of the Lick Mat and some banana, strawberries or blueberries on the wider bottom pattern of the Lick Mat. Full of antioxidants, this build is great for your dog's health and provides them with the vitamins and fibre they need, whilst also giving them a healthy, engaging snack.
Bugalugs Lick Bowl
The Bugalugs Lick Bowl is made up of 3 stimulating patterns, ensuring your pet is kept engaged with the different textures over the surface of the bowl. It has a large suction base to keep the lick bowl steady and in place whilst your pet is using it. This helps to prevent mess in unwanted places and eager chewing from your pet. The curved edges of the bowl aid in preventing liquids from spilling over the sides, making it an ideal ‘Lick’ product for messier pets or those that prefer liquid products like yogurt. Our Lick Bowls are made with a soft, food grade silicone and are BPA free ensuring a safe and enjoyable experience for your pet. The Bugalugs Lick Bowls are also microwave and freezer safe making them ideal for both hot and cold treats, including meat, gravy, frozen yogurt or peanut butter. The bowl is dishwasher safe, making the clean-up an easy task.
Our Lick Bowls are ideal for an array of different products including meat, pate, wet pet food, yoghurt, soft cheese and banana. Perfect for using alongside our supplements, they can be an effective way to feed your dog the supplements they need to live a happy, healthy life, whilst also keeping them entertained. The Bugalugs Lick Bowls are an essential for any fast eaters as they can help in slowing down your pet’s eating of their normal food. This can aid in preventing twisted stomachs, flatulence and regurgitation.
Why not get creative and spread different products on each part of the Lick Bowl. For example, you can spread liquids like Peanut Butter and Yogurt on the upper part of the Lick Bowl where the pattern is closer together, and kibble, mince or solids on the larger, lower part of the Lick Bowl where the pattern is more spread out. This will lead to an engaging mealtime for your pet and a great way to distract your pet during anxious periods like Bonfire night or bath time.
Bugalugs Top Tip! Why not try sprinkling our Bugalugs Supplements on top of your Lick Bowl build. This creates a fun and engaging way to provide your pet with the supplements they need. For any anxious pets, we'd recommend our Calming Powder. Great for those anxious events like Bonfire Night or New Years Eve.
Bugalugs Lick Pad
For a smaller treat why not try the Bugalugs Lick Pad. Our Lick Pad aids in distracting pets and can be used as a boredom breaker, but is also ideal for anxiety, grooming, training, bath time or even fireworks. It’s the perfect size for offering a little reward for good behaviour and it comes equipped with suction cups on the back, which allows it to be stuck to walls, bathtubs, or doors. This helps to keep the Lick Pad secure and out of reach from eager chewers or curious paws.
