<p data-start="475" data-end="1096">The Trixie Junior Licking Plate for Dogs is designed to provide a calming, engaging, and practical feeding accessory that supports slow feeding and enrichment during everyday routines. Licking is a natural behaviour for pets and can help promote relaxation and focus when paired with food-based rewards. This licking plate offers a structured surface that encourages pets to lick rather than gulp, helping create a more controlled and soothing feeding experience. It is especially useful for younger pets and small to medium dogs that benefit from slower eating habits and mental stimulation during feeding or treat time.The textured surface of the licking plate is designed to hold soft treats and spreads, encouraging pets to spend more time licking and engaging with their food. This slow, repetitive licking action can help promote calmer behaviour and provide gentle mental stimulation. The licking activity can be particularly helpful during grooming, bathing, or trimming routines, as it helps distract pets and reduce stress by focusing their attention on a rewarding activity. By offering a positive association during care routines, the licking plate supports more relaxed handling and cooperation.</p> <p data-start="1687" data-end="2086">The licking plate can also be used to help manage feeding speed. By spreading food across the textured surface, pets are encouraged to eat more slowly, which can support better digestion and reduce the tendency to gulp food quickly. Slower feeding can help minimise discomfort after meals and support more comfortable digestion, especially for pets that tend to eat too fast when excited or anxious.Made from durable plastic, the licking plate is lightweight yet sturdy enough for regular use. Its smooth outer edges and structured surface are designed to be easy to clean after use. The plate is dishwasher safe, making maintenance simple and convenient for everyday routines. This ease of cleaning encourages regular hygiene practices, helping maintain a cleaner feeding environment for pets.Designed for indoor use, the Trixie Junior Licking Plate offers a simple and practical way to enrich daily routines while supporting calmer behaviour and controlled feeding. Its compact design makes it easy to store and use in various home environments, whether for daily feeding enrichment or as a calming tool during grooming and care activities.</p> <p data-start="2840" data-end="2857"><strong>Key Features</strong></p> <p data-start="2858" data-end="3329">The licking plate provides a textured surface that encourages slow feeding and extended licking activity, helping support calmer behaviour and better digestion.
