Buddy Tuff Dog Enrichment Mat

Built for determined lickers and enthusiastic chewers, the LickiMat Buddy Tuff Dog Enrichment Mat is the toughest lick mat in the LickiMat range — designed to deliver long-lasting enrichment without giving in to rough play. If your dog loves to chew, gets bored easily, or needs extra help calming down, this heavy-duty enrichment mat is a must-have.

The Buddy Tuff Dog Enrichment Mat features a classic square shape with a dense cross-patterned surface that’s perfect for spreading soft treats and meals. The raised “plus” design holds food deep in the grooves, encouraging slow, repetitive licking that keeps your dog engaged for longer. Licking is a naturally soothing behaviour that releases endorphins, helping to reduce anxiety, stress, and boredom — especially helpful during crate time, grooming, thunderstorms, or when you’re out of the house.

What sets the Tuff Series apart is its durability. Made from chew-resistant, plant-based rubber, the Buddy Tuff Dog Enrichment Mat is designed for puppies, power chewers, and dogs that tend to destroy standard lick mats. While no product is completely indestructible, this mat offers a sturdier alternative for dogs that need something a little stronger. It’s also completely silicone-free, making it an environmentally friendly and pet-safe choice.

Non-slip feet on the base help keep the mat in place during use, reducing frustration and mess. The square shape provides plenty of surface area, making it suitable for larger dogs or multi-treat spreads. Use it with peanut butter (xylitol-free), yoghurt, raw food, mashed fruit or vegetables, or soaked kibble to create a customised enrichment experience your dog will love.

The Buddy Tuff isn’t just about entertainment — it supports healthier habits too. Slower licking can aid digestion, reduce gulping, and promote better oral health by stimulating saliva production. It’s an easy way to turn snack time into meaningful mental enrichment.

Cleaning is simple and stress-free. The LickiMat Buddy Tuff Dog Enrichment Mat is 100% dishwasher safe, so you can use it daily without extra effort. Available in a range of bold colours, it’s practical, durable, and designed to fit seamlessly into your dog’s routine.

For dogs that need enrichment that lasts — and lasts — the Buddy Tuff delivers.
