Interactive Lick Mat Puzzle Toy Outward Hound Nina Ottosson Lickin' Layers - multi-level for dogs, model 70646

Outward Hound Nina Ottosson Lickin' Layers is a multi-level interactive lick mat puzzle designed for dogs. The silicone mat features layered compartments and textured surfaces that hold wet or soft foods such as yogurt, purees or pastes, encouraging dogs to lick and explore. The product is intended to extend feeding or treat sessions, promote mental engagement and provide a calm activity during grooming, training or quiet time.

Advantages

The multi-depth design increases contact time between tongue and food, helping to slow consumption and reduce gulping. Textured cavities and raised ridges provide sensory stimulation and help distribute soft food evenly across the surface. Made from flexible, food-safe silicone, the mat is easy to clean and stays in place during use. The construction supports repeated use with wet or semi-solid treats without leaking or degrading.

Suitable for

• Calming and stress relief during storms, vet visits or travel
• Slow feeding to prevent rapid eating and reduce bloating risk
• Training rewards that require prolonged engagement
• Boredom reduction and scent-based enrichment

Key specifications

• Material: flexible, food-grade silicone
• Design: multi-level compartments with varied textures
• Compatibility: suitable for wet, soft or paste-like foods
• Maintenance: washable and rinseable for repeated use

How to use

Spoon or spread a suitable amount of wet or soft food into the compartments and across textured areas, ensuring even coverage to promote licking. Place the mat on a flat, stable surface or attach it to a non-slip area if available. Supervise the dog during initial sessions to confirm appropriate interest and to assess portion size. After use, remove residual food and wash according to care instructions before next use.

Usage recommendations

Use measured portions of treats or softened kibble to control calorie intake and consult a veterinarian about suitable food choices for puppies, seniors or dogs with dietary restrictions. For longer sessions, alternate foods that tolerate spreading and cooling, and always inspect the mat for wear before regular use.
