Troubleshooting
Pet is not interested in the mat
Try using a higher-value treat, such as liver paste or pureed wet food, to create more excitement.
Hard to clean food out of the grid
Soak the mat in warm, soapy water for 10 minutes before scrubbing with a soft brush.
Pet is chewing the mat instead of licking
Supervise closely and redirect the pet. If they continue to chew, remove the mat and try again later with a thinner layer of food.

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: While the mat is dishwasher safe, hand washing with warm soapy water and a soft-bristle brush is often most effective for removing stubborn food residue from the grid.
- Freezing: Safe for freezer use; ideal for creating long-lasting chilled treats.
- Microwaving: Safe for short periods to warm up chilled food items.
- Inspection: Regularly inspect the mat for signs of wear or loose pieces. If your pet manages to tear the rubber, remove the mat immediately to prevent ingestion.
