LickiMat Wobble Lick Bowl

The LickiMat Wobble takes the textured surface of a flat lick mat and shapes it into a bowl with a rounded base. As your dog licks, the bowl rocks, which adds a little challenge, and it is deep enough to serve a full meal.

Who it suits

Dogs that eat too fast or get through a flat lick mat quickly. LickiMat lists it as suitable for all dogs, with supervision at first until you know your dog will not chew it.

What reviewers say

Whole Dog Journal names the Wobble its best dog lick bowl. Its tester, trainer Jae Thomas, says it holds about 4 cups of dry kibble, and with frozen soaked kibble and water her dogs took nearly an hour to finish a meal. The catch is the rounded bottom, which makes it awkward to fill and freeze; she set it inside a slightly bigger bowl to keep it steady.

Pros and cons

• Pro: Holds a full meal, so it works as a slow feeder
• Pro: Dishwasher, freezer and microwave safe
• Pro: The wobble adds a bit of challenge
• Con: Awkward to fill with liquid and freeze because of the rounded base
• Con: Classic rubber, not a chew-proof bowl

Cautions

• Supervise your dog the first few times until you are sure it will not chew the bowl, as LickiMat directs.
• Stop using it if it is chewed or damaged.
• Dishwasher safe per LickiMat; turn it upside down when washing.
• Use dog-safe fillings only; check that peanut butter contains no xylitol.
