PEGGY11 Stainless Steel Lick Mat Slow Feeder, 2 Pack, Stainless Steel, whisker friendly, 48 suction cups

18/8 stainless steel forms the body of this slow feeder lick mat, which comes as a two pack for cats and dogs. The textured surface is made for licking, and 48 suction cups on the back hold the mat on smooth surfaces such as bathtubs, shower walls and floors. Each mat measures 33.5 x 23.4 x 1.2 cm and weighs 789 g for the pair.

Which animals and surfaces the mat suits

The mats are intended for cats and dogs, and the brand describes them as suited to cats and dogs that benefit from slower feeding. The suction cups need a smooth surface to grip; bathtubs, shower walls and floors are the surfaces the brand names, so a textured or uneven floor is not covered by that list. The mats are listed for indoor use. Each mat is 33.5 cm long and 23.4 cm wide, which is the footprint to compare against your feeding spot or the wall space you have in mind. Cats are the animal the whisker-friendly design is aimed at.

What the two pack contains

• Two lick mats, model FT-80006
• Each mat in 18/8 stainless steel with a silicone component
• 48 suction cups per mat

How to use and clean the mats

Soaking a mat in hot water makes cleanup easier, and the mats are dishwasher-safe as well. The textured surface is the part the animal licks, and the suction cups are pressed onto a smooth surface to hold the mat in place while it is used.

What does the textured surface and the suction base do?

The licking surface is textured, and the food sits on it rather than in a bowl, which is why the brand places the mat among products for cats and dogs that benefit from slower feeding. The 48 suction cups spread across the back of each mat grip smooth surfaces, so the mat stays where it was pressed down during a meal. The stainless steel body is the material the food contacts, and the silicone part is listed alongside it in the material specification.

Cleaning and storage

A soak in hot water loosens residue before washing, and the mats can go in the dishwasher. Both mats measure 1.2 cm high, so a pair stacks flat in a cupboard or drawer. The suction cups are the part to check before storing, since they are what hold the mat to a surface at the next meal.
