Flower Silicone Lick Mat
Spread wet food or yogurt across the ridges and a two-minute snack becomes a ten-minute calm-down. Spread wet food, yoghurt or peanut butter across the flower-shaped ridges and a two-minute snack becomes ten minutes of licking — which is naturally calming for dogs. The suction back sticks to the tub or a tile wall to distract during baths and nail trims.
Good for Bath, grooming and nail-trim distraction; slow snacking. Skip if Your wall or tub isn't smooth enough for the suction to grip.

Ball-Shaped Slow Lick Bowl
A bone-and-ball textured bowl for soups and wet food that turns licking into a slow, calming task. A bone-and-ball textured bowl for broth, soup or wet food — the raised shapes and rolling ball make a dog work the tongue for every lick, turning a quick treat into a slow, settling task. Anti-slip base keeps enthusiastic lickers from shoving it around.
Good for Wet-food and broth feeding; slow, calm snacking. Skip if You feed dry kibble — the shapes suit liquids.

Rolling-Ball Slow Lick Bowl
A rolling ball in the center makes a dog work for liquid treats instead of inhaling them. A fixed rolling ball in the centre makes a dog nudge and lick around it to get at liquid treats, so a bowl of broth becomes a slow game instead of a two-second gulp. The ball is anchored, so there's nothing small to swallow.
Good for Slowing down liquid-treat and broth feeding. Skip if You want a normal bowl for regular meals.

Moisturising Paw Balm Stick
A swipe-on balm stick for dry, cracked paw pads - no greasy fingers, no wrestling with a tin. A deodorant-style stick of moisturising balm for paw pads that get rough from hot pavement, winter salt or just age. The stick format means you swipe it straight onto the pad, so more ends up on the paw and less on your hands and floor. A little goes a long way; apply before bed so it soaks in before the next lick.
Good for Dry, rough pads from summer pavement or winter grit, and older dogs whose pads have lost their spring. Skip if The paw problem is a wound, a smell or constant licking - that needs a vet before it needs a moisturiser.
