This is quite common as it is an inherent\ninstinct, but the habit is widely recognized as a risk factor for indigestion,\nbloating and gastric dilation. A standard bowl design concentrates the food\ninto a relatively small area, making it very easy for your pet to eat too\nquickly. As an alternative feeding vessel, the Meric Lick Mat engages your pet\nover a longer period of time while delivering small portions of his favorite\ntreats. Spreading out your pet's food helps slow the rate of eating and\nlessens unpleasant gulping behavior. Calms your Pets and Helps Separation\nAnxiety When left alone, some dogs experience mild separation anxiety and can\nbecome disruptive or unruly. By practicing counterconditioning, your pet\nfocuses on developing a positive association between being alone and good\nthings, like a delicious snack. To develop this kind of association, each time\nyou leave the house, offer your pet the Meric Pet Feeding Plate filled with\nsuper yummy goodies. Research studies have found that repetitive licking\nincreases endorphins in the brain, which calms your pet and alleviates his\nanxiety.
