Superior Material and Safety Standards
The Orange Rome Heritage Lick Mats from LickMatLab are crafted from 100% food-grade silicone, ensuring absolute safety for both dogs and cats. This material is free from BPA, phthalates, and other harmful chemicals, making it a trusted choice for pet owners who prioritize health. The silicone is non-porous, which prevents the absorption of bacteria or odors, and it is remarkably easy to clean under running water or in a dishwasher. For pet businesses, this durability and hygiene standard mean repeat purchases and fewer returns, as the mats withstand daily use without degrading.
Innovative Design for Pet Well-Being
Every LickMatLab product features a built-in suction cup base that firmly adheres to any smooth surface, such as tile or stainless steel bowls. This anti-slip technology prevents the mat from sliding during use, allowing pets to lick at a slow, controlled pace. Slow feeding reduces the risk of choking, bloat, and gulping air, which can cause digestive discomfort. Additionally, the textured surface provides mental stimulation and calming effects, making it an excellent tool for anxiety reduction during storms, vet visits, or training sessions. This design directly addresses common health concerns for pets, positioning the mat as a preventive care solution.
Customization for Your Brand Identity
LickMatLab offers comprehensive OEM/ODM services, enabling businesses to create unique products that resonate with their target audience. You can customize the Orange color and the Rome-themed pattern—featuring iconic landmarks like the Colosseum or Roman arches—to match your brand’s aesthetic. This extends to custom LOGO placement, sample design support, and a range of sizes to suit small or large pets. For businesses using Amazon FBA, LickMatLab assists with packaging and compliance, ensuring your product meets marketplace requirements. The Rome pattern, with its historical and travel-inspired appeal, connects emotionally with customers who value culture, travel, or design.
Benefits for Retail Partners
Pet specialty stores, veterinary clinics, gift shops, pet boarding facilities, grooming salons, and brand entrepreneurs can leverage the Orange Rome Heritage Lick Mat to attract diverse customers. The vibrant orange hue draws attention on shelves, while the Rome theme triggers conversations about travel and history. For example, a pet hospital can use these mats as calming aids for anxious pets during exams, then sell them to owners as take-home remedies. Grooming salons can display them in waiting areas to keep pets occupied, boosting perceived value. Gift shops targeting tourists or local residents can market the mat as a souvenir that combines pet care with Italian heritage, encouraging impulse buys.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best way to use the Orange Rome Heritage Lick Mat for calming my pet during travel or vet visits?
Spread a thin layer of peanut butter, yogurt, or wet pet food across the textured surface, then freeze the mat for 20-30 minutes. The cold texture adds sensory enrichment, and the suction cups attach to crate floors, car seats, or exam tables. The slow licking process releases natural calming hormones like oxytocin, which helps dogs and cats cope with stress. For best results, introduce the mat at home first, using low-value treats, then gradually increase the duration of use. This positive association reduces anxiety over time. Many veterinarians recommend this method for post-surgery recovery or nail trims, and LickMatLab’s FDA-grade silicone ensures safety even if pets chew the edges briefly.
Can I customize the Orange color to a different shade or add my business logo to the Rome pattern?
Absolutely. LickMatLab provides full OEM/ODM services where we adjust the orange hue to your exact Pantone code, and we can embed your company logo directly into the mold of the Rome pattern. This customization extends to the mat’s thickness, size (small 6×8 inches or large 8×12 inches), and the depth of the grooves for more or less treat capacity. For Amazon FBA sellers, we offer packaging design that prints your brand colors and Rome artwork. We also create sample designs for approval before production, so your final product matches your vision without compromise. This ensures your business stands out in crowded marketplaces or retail shelves.
How do I clean the mat to prevent mold or residue buildup, and is it dishwasher safe?
The mat’s non-porous silicone is highly resistant to staining and bacterial growth, but regular cleaning is simple. Hand wash with warm soapy water and a soft sponge, avoiding abrasive brushes that might scratch the surface. For thorough sanitation, place the mat on the top rack of your dishwasher and run a normal cycle with pet-safe detergent. To remove stubborn residues from sticky foods like honey or peanut butter, soak the mat in hot water mixed with white vinegar for 10 minutes before washing. The suction cups remain effective after hundreds of cleanings, as long as you avoid dishwasher drying cycles that may warp some materials—air drying is recommended. This low-maintenance care ensures the mat remains hygienic for daily use, and LickMatLab’s material is designed to withstand repeated cleaning without degrading the orange color or Rome pattern.
