Our anxious whippet goes from pacing to completely focused within seconds of getting his lick mat. It's remarkable to watch. We do it every evening before bed as part of his wind-down routine. Sleep improved for him AND for us. Cannot recommend this enough.
The lick mat is well-made and our Westie loves it. The slow feeder works fine for our other dog. Would have given five stars but the suction cup is slightly harder to position on certain surfaces (works best on flat tiles). Minor issue — overall very happy with it.
Use it every day with frozen banana and peanut butter. Our rescue greyhound is much calmer after his lick mat session — it's become a signal that it's time to relax. Easy to clean, sturdy, and the suction is strong. Five stars.
Our vet warned us about bloat risk from our boxer eating too fast. This slow feeder has sorted it completely. Combined with the lick mat for post-meal enrichment, dinner time is now calm and controlled. Really pleased we found TailSpark — quality is excellent.
Really impressed with the build quality on this. The silicone is soft but sturdy, the suction is strong, and the texture is well-designed to really make dogs work. Our sausage dog takes 15 minutes to finish a portion of peanut butter — previously she'd hoover up any food in seconds.
