WOOF LickMat - Easy-to-Clean Lick Mat for Dogs, Non-Slip BPA-Free Silicone, Green Review (2026)

What this lick mat is for

A lick mat like this one gives a dog a textured silicone surface to work spreadable food off of, which slows down eating and gives an anxious dog something repetitive and soothing to focus on. Owners commonly use them during nail trims, vet visits, grooming, thunderstorms, or simply to occupy a dog while they cook dinner. The WOOF LickMat measures 7 by 7 inches, a medium size that fits most dogs from small to large breeds without being so big that food goes to waste. It is built with strong suction cups on the back, so it holds steady on a kitchen floor, a bathtub wall, or the side of a crate rather than sliding around while a dog works on it. That stability is what separates a usable lick mat from a frustrating one.

Material, design and the mixing bowl feature

The mat is made from 100 percent food-grade silicone that is BPA-free, which matters since dogs will be licking and gnawing at it directly. WOOF includes a built-in mixing bowl section molded into the mat, meant for stirring in the brand's own LickMix treats or any spreadable food like plain yogurt or peanut butter before spreading it across the textured surface. The raised bumps and ridges across the mat are what force a dog to lick slowly rather than gulp, and the pattern is dense enough to hold a reasonable amount of food without pooling in one spot. It ships in green, and this listing does not offer other colors, so buyers who want to match existing gear or tell multiple mats apart by color have only one option here.

Cleaning and everyday use

Because the mat is one solid piece of silicone with no fabric or foam, it goes straight into the dishwasher, and WOOF recommends the top rack for best results. That is a real advantage over cloth-backed slow feeders, which can hold onto grease and odor even after washing. For daily use, most owners rinse or wipe the mat after each session and run it through a full wash every few days depending on what is being spread on it, since oily foods like peanut butter build up in the ridges faster than something like plain yogurt. The suction cups need a clean, smooth surface to grip properly, so a textured tile floor or a damp mat will not hold as well as a dry, sealed floor or the inside of a bathtub.

How it stacks up against other lick mats

Against the two-pack slow feeder that ranks first in this guide, the WOOF mat is a single unit rather than a pair, so households with more than one dog will need to buy two mats or accept that only one dog gets the mat at a time. Against LickiMat's Classic Buddy, a well known name in this category, the core idea is the same, textured silicone with suction feet, and the choice mostly comes down to mat size, ridge pattern, and whether the built-in mixing bowl feature matters to you. The WOOF mat does not include any treats or mix in the base listing, so it functions purely as the mat itself rather than a starter kit, which some rival lick mats bundle in.

Verdict and who might want something else

This is a solid, simple lick mat for a dog owner who wants an easy-to-clean, dishwasher-safe option in a common medium size, especially if the built-in mixing bowl for the brand's own treat mix is appealing. It earns our score of 8.1 out of 10 mainly on how easy it is to keep clean and how well the suction cups hold in practice. Buyers who need a specific color to match other gear, or who want a multi-pack so more than one dog or more than one room can have a mat going at once, should look at a two-pack option instead. Dogs with a history of chewing and swallowing silicone pieces should always be supervised with any lick mat, regardless of brand.
