Lollipop mats

Lick mats for dogs are a simple but powerful solution when you want to give your dog peace, mental stimulation, and a more exciting everyday life. At FjeldgaardShop, you'll find lick mats for dogs that have been selected with a focus on function, quality, and your dog's well-being.

The clever thing about a lick mat is that it activates the dog in a calm way. When the dog licks, it works concentrated and at its own pace. This can be a huge advantage in situations where you want to create more calm around feeding, alone-at-home training, grooming, or just give the dog a good and meaningful activity.

Lick mats: the effective solution for calming and mental stimulation for your dog

At FjeldgaardShop.dk, we know how important it is for your dog to thrive. A happy and healthy dog is the foundation for a good dog life, and a large part of this involves mental stimulation and the opportunity to live out natural instincts. This is where the lick mat comes in as a fantastic and versatile tool. Many dogs love to lick, and with a lick mat, this natural behavior can be channeled in a way that both calms, activates, and can even contribute to better digestion.

We are proud to offer a carefully selected range of quality products for your dog, and our lick mats are no exception. At FjeldgaardShop.dk, it's all about animal welfare, sustainability, and quality, and this is reflected in all the products we carry. We are a Danish-owned and operated webshop, striving to give you the best service and products that are produced with care for your dog and the environment.

Why is a lick mat so good for your dog?

A lick mat is much more than just a toy. It's a clever tool that utilizes a dog's natural urge to lick, transforming it into an enriching activity. Here are some of the primary benefits of a lick mat:

Calming effect:Licking releases endorphins, which has a significant calming effect on dogs. This makes the lick mat ideal in stressful situations such as thunderstorms, New Year's Eve, alone-at-home training, or during transport.
Mental stimulation:Your dog has to work to get the treats out of the mat's grooves. This activates its brain and keeps it occupied, which is crucial for a dog's well-being, especially for breeds with a high activity level.
Slower food intake:For dogs that gobble down their food, a lick mat can significantly slow down eating speed. This can improve digestion and reduce the risk of stomach problems such as gas.
Distraction during grooming:Do you have a dog that hates being brushed, having its nails clipped, or getting a bath? Spread something delicious on a lick mat and let your dog enjoy itself while you take care of the grooming. It distracts its attention and makes the experience more positive.
Can help with boredom:A lick mat provides your dog with a meaningful activity when it's bored. This can prevent destructive behavior, which often occurs when a dog lacks stimulation.
Hygiene:Some lick mats can, depending on the consistency of the food spread on them, also help freshen the dog's breath, as the licking can remove bacteria from the tongue.

How do you choose the right lick mat?

The selection of lick mats is large, and the "best" lick mat depends on your dog's needs and your preferences. At FjeldgaardShop.dk, we focus on high-quality products that last a long time and are safe for your dog. When choosing a lick mat, consider the following:

Material:Most lick mats are made of food-safe silicone, which is durable, flexible, and easy to clean. Always choose materials without harmful substances.
Size and shape:Lick mats come in various sizes and shapes. A larger mat can provide longer entertainment, while suction cups can be practical if the mat needs to stick to a smooth surface (e.g., on the wall in the shower cabin).
Pattern/texture:Different patterns and depressions offer varying degrees of challenge. Some have deep grooves, others small nubs. You might want to start with a less challenging pattern and work your way up if your dog is a beginner.
Durability:Choose a lick mat that is robust enough for your dog's licking and chewing habits. Although the purpose is to lick, some dogs can be eager.

Our lick mats are chosen with animal welfare in mind and are primarily produced in Europe, ensuring shorter transport routes and a higher standard of production. This is part of our focus on sustainability.

Good filling ideas for your lick mat

The fun part of a lick mat is the many options for varying the filling. Here are some healthy and delicious suggestions that your dog will love:

Dog pate or paste (without onions and harmful spices)
Wet dog food
Pumpkin puree (unsweetened)
Greek yogurt or quark (plain, without added sugar or sweeteners)
Homemade liver pate (without salt and spices, if you bake it specifically for the dog)
Mashed banana or other dog-safe fruits (in moderation)
Peanut butter (without xylitol – always check the ingredient list!)
Cooked, mashed sweet potato
Small amounts of the dog's usual dry food soaked in water or broth

You can prepare the lick mat in advance and put it in the freezer. A frozen lick mat significantly extends the activity and can be extra refreshing on hot days.

Cleaning and maintenance of your lick mat

After use, it is important to clean your lick mat thoroughly to prevent bacterial growth. Fortunately, most lick mats are easy to wash under the tap with a brush or in the dishwasher. Make sure it is completely dry before putting it away.

Frequently asked questions about lick mats

What is a lick mat, and how does it work?

A lick mat is a flat, flexible surface, often made of silicone, with patterned depressions. You spread wet food, dog pate, or other soft treats into the depressions, and your dog then has to lick it out. This process is naturally calming and mentally stimulating for dogs.

Can all dogs use a lick mat?

Yes, most dogs can benefit from a lick mat. It is particularly good for nervous dogs, dogs that eat too quickly, puppies learning to be alone, or dogs that simply need a little extra mental activity.

How often can my dog use its lick mat?

Your dog can easily use its lick mat daily. It is a healthy and positive activity. Just be sure to adjust the amount of filling so that it fits into the dog's daily calorie intake, especially if you use it often. Lick mats can, for example, be used as part of a meal to prolong eating time.

What type of filling is best for a lick mat?

The best fillings are soft and sticky so they adhere well to the depressions. Popular choices include dog pate, wet food, natural yogurt (without sugar/sweeteners), peanut butter (without xylitol), or mashed vegetable puree. Creativity pays off – just make sure the filling is dog-safe! A tip from FjeldgaardShop.dk is to freeze the lick mat with filling to extend the experience.

Are lick mats easy to clean?

Absolutely! Most lick mats are made of silicone, which is a very easy material to clean. You can typically rinse them under the tap with a brush or put them in the dishwasher. A clean lick mat is important for the dog's health.

Do lick mats help with anxiety or stress?

Yes, licking is a self-soothing behavior for dogs, as it releases endorphins. A lick mat can therefore be an excellent tool for reducing anxiety and stress in situations that would otherwise be challenging for your dog, such as during vet visits, alone-at-home training, or during storms. It is an effective form of low-intensity activation.
