LICK MATS

Repetitive licking can have a calming effect for dogs that suffer from anxiety — the release of endorphins caused by the action of licking helps them relax.

They can also be used to keep your dog occupied while they're getting brushed or bathed.

Spread a thin layer of peanut butter (xylitol-free) or apple sauce on a lick mat and freeze it before giving it to your pooch.
