Merenda Lick Mat

The Merenda Enrichment Mat is made from food-grade silicone that meets LFGB standards, the strictest food safety certification in Europe. Studio Nooi designed the ridge pattern to distribute soft foods evenly across the surface, extending licking time and keeping dogs focused.
The silicone is free of BPA and phthalates. A non-slip base holds the mat steady against tile, hardwood, or concrete, even when dogs press their full weight into it.
MiaCara produces the mat in Germany with the same attention they bring to their furniture line. It goes in the dishwasher and the freezer without warping or cracking.
The function is straightforward: spread wet food, pâté, yogurt, or peanut butter across the ridges. Dogs work to reach every crevice. This slows eating, which aids digestion, and the repetitive licking motion has a documented calming effect. Some owners use it during thunderstorms or fireworks. Others place it on the floor during conference calls.
One limitation worth noting: this is a licking mat, not a chew toy. Dogs who tend to destroy soft objects should use it under supervision.
Freeze the mat with food already spread for hot days. The silicone maintains flexibility at low temperatures. Clean it within a few hours of use to prevent residue from setting.
