Should I try more than one type of LickiMat with my cat?

Absolutely. The different surfaces suit different types of treats: slurry, solid, chunky, liquid and the like. The different surfaces also respond differently to pressure from your cat's tongue. You should experiment with the different surfaces: Buddy, Playdate, Soother or try combination surfaces such as Casper and Felix.

Will my cat chew the LickiMat?

It is very unlikely. Nearly all cats are interested in the food or treat, and not the rubber. Please make sure to have the correct food type on the LickiMat you are using. We have seen a few classic LickiMats with the corners showing chew marks. Owners of cats prone to chewing anything and everything should keep a close eye, or use the LickiMat Tuff or Slomo that has a Polypropylene base.

How do I clean the LickiMat?

Most LickiMats are dishwasher safe. Check the product page for your LickiMat to be sure.

The Classic LickiMats should be washed under the sink after every use. Scrubbing with a brush is not normally necessary. Shake off excess water and turn them over to let them dry naturally.

It is essential to dry the LickiMat after washing to remove any moisture.
