Pictured: the purple mat. Your Duo includes one purple and one blue.

The calm-down button. Two of them.
Smear on peanut butter, yogurt, or wet food and press it to any smooth surface. Licking is steady and repetitive, which makes it a good standby for nail trims, bath time, thunderstorms, fireworks, and those 15 minutes when you just need your dog to settle. Freeze it with something tasty inside and a session lasts even longer. You get two mats, one purple and one blue: one in use, one in the freezer.

Wondering why licking helps a worried dog? Our guide to why sniffing calms an anxious dog covers licking too.
Safety: supervised use only. Not a chew toy. Discard if damaged. Use xylitol-free peanut butter only (xylitol is toxic to dogs). A lick mat can take the edge off everyday tense moments, but it isn't a treatment for serious anxiety. If your dog is truly struggling, talk to your vet or a trainer.
