Bath time and nail trims get a lot easier when your dog has something better to think about. Spread peanut butter, plain yoghurt or wet food across the surface, press it to the side of the bath, and you have ten minutes of a dog that's occupied rather than braced.
The grooves mean they have to work at it, which is the point. It turns a thirty-second job into a slow one and supports a calmer session. On ordinary days it doubles as a plain slow feeder.
64 suction cups hold it to any smooth surface — tile, glass, the inside of a bath — so it stays put instead of being carried off mid-lick. Raised edges stop food creeping over the sides.
Food-grade silicone, so it goes in the dishwasher. At 20 x 20cm it suits cats and small to medium dogs.
Licking is a self-soothing behaviour. It is repetitive, rhythmic, and it occupies exactly the part of a dog's attention that would otherwise be tracking what you are doing to them.
How this helps
Spread something sticky across the grooves and a bath, a brush-out or a nail trim becomes the second most interesting thing in the room. Used consistently it supports a dog that comes to treat grooming as an ordinary event rather than an ambush.
