REDUCES ANXIETY, BOREDOM AND DESTRUCTIVE BEHAVIOUR – Vet developed LickiMat helps calm and soothe your dog as they enjoy their favourite treat by helping release endorphins through the promotion of repetitive licking. Great for when you leave home, great for stressful times such vet visits, injections, bath time, nail clipping, injury recovery as well as thunderstorms and fireworks.

The desired amount of dog food is scattered across GREEN mini, and it is up to your dog to push the food out between the many blades of grass.
GREEN mini
prolongs eating time significantly and reduces the risk of gulping and bloat. The result is a happier and healthier dog.
GREEN mini
is designed for small dogs, puppies and flat-nosed breeds such as pugs and bulldogs. It can contain both dry and wet food.
GREEN mini
is made of hard plastic (without phthalates) and can therefore be used outside and cleaned in the dishwasher.
GREEN Mini Facts:
* GREEN mini is a one-piece molded feeder of hard phthalate-free plastic.
* GREEN mini is a one-sized product weighing 400 grams and measuring 29 x 22.5 x 7.3 cm.
* Height of blades of grass: between 1.5 and 5.5 cm
* GREEN mini consists of 32 blades of grass – all of them smoothly rounded.
* GREEN mini has an outer edge allowing wet food and approx. 0.25 liter of water.
* GREEN mini is available in one color – light green.
* GREEN mini was released world wide at the Bologna pet fair ZOOMARK in May 2013.
"Small dog breeds and puppies have their small size in common and for that reason Northmate now launches GREEN mini as a new, small version of the original GREEN.
GREEN mini is an interactive feeder just as the original GREEN and again the main focus is to reduce the risk of gulping and bloat.
Most dogs are able to eat far more and much faster than what is healthy. This behaviour is driven by instincts and we control it by dosing each portion of food.
In order to get a healthy dog it is however equally important to control the speed of consumption. This is done by complicating the access to the food.
GREEN mini complicates the access to the food – but it doesn't hide it. When dogs searches and hunts for food in nature every obstacle becomes an active part of the game: The forest is doing the opposite of hiding the prey – it's actually guiding the dog along a track made of smells and sounds."

Licking Mats & Slow Feeding Bowls for Dogs
As an essential part of your pet’s enrichment, these products are designed to stimulate your dog's mind, reduce anxiety, and promote slower eating habits. Perfect for any breed, licking mats and bowls offer a fun and rewarding way to engage your pet during mealtime or treat sessions
-
What are the benefits of licking mats for dogs? Licking mats are designed to promote calmness and relieve stress as they encourage dogs to lick their food or treats from a textured surface. The repetitive licking action is soothing for dogs and can help reduce anxiety, especially during stressful situations like thunderstorms or vet visits.
-
Can licking mats help improve my dog's digestion? Yes. Licking mats slow down the eating pace, preventing dogs from gobbling up their food too quickly, which can reduce the risk of bloating and improve digestion. This slower eating process can also increase saliva production, which helps in breaking down food and protecting teeth and gums.
-
How can licking mats vary the dog’s feeding experience? These mats can be used with a variety of foods such as yogurt, purees, and spreadable treats, creating a fun and interactive feeding experience. They can also be frozen for a refreshing summer treat or to extend the feeding time.
-
Is it easy to maintain and clean licking mats? Licking mats are typically made from food-grade silicone or rubber, making them easy to clean. Most are dishwasher safe or can be washed with warm soapy water to ensure they remain hygienic for regular use. This ease of cleaning helps prevent the buildup of bacteria and keeps the mat safe for everyday use.
