The lick bowl that calms your dog down.

Dogs lick to calm themselves. Your dog just doesn't have anything to lick, so it comes out as chewing, pacing and barking. Give him this and he settles.

Thirty seconds to fill. Half an hour of busy licking.

A dog licking the ball on the Calming Bowl

Lift the plate off. Spoon in some yoghurt, peanut butter or whatever he likes to lick. Drop the ball on top and click the plate back down.

Then the ball keeps pulling fresh food up as he works at it so one spoonful lasts him a good half hour.

  • BPA-free

Sound familiar?

He's not being bad. He can't calm down.

It's not a training problem. Dogs calm themselves by licking, and most just don't have anything to lick.

He panics the moment you leave.

The whining, the scratching at the door, the chewed shoe you find when you get home. Being left alone tips him into a stress he can't switch off on his own.

A wound-up dog lying alert and on edge, unable to relax

He never really settles.

Pacing the hall, barking at nothing, tearing up the couch the second he's bored. A wound-up dog is asking for a way to calm down, and walks alone aren't cutting it.

Why licking works

Licking calms him down.

Licking makes dogs feel good. Every lick releases calming chemicals in his brain, the ones that help him relax and slow down. It's why a stressed dog licks the couch, his paws, or even you. He's trying to calm himself. This bowl just gives him a better thing to lick. Smear on a little peanut butter or wet food, and he'll work at it for a good half hour to get every last bit. The more he licks, the calmer he gets. By the end he's settled and quiet.

One job to lock onto

It keeps him out of trouble.

Give him the lick bowl and he's got one thing to focus on. It keeps his brain busy and tires him out, the way a good puzzle does. Use it before you leave, before a storm, or before guests come over, the moments he'd usually lose it. He winds down instead of winding up. And a dog who's busy licking isn't chewing the couch or barking at the door.

How it works

Three steps to a calmer dog.

01

Fill it up

Smear on some peanut butter, yoghurt or wet food. Takes about thirty seconds and keeps him busy half an hour.

02

Let him lick

Hand it to him and he gets to work. The more he licks, the calmer he gets, until he's settled and quiet.

03

Rinse it off

Rinse it or pop it in the dishwasher. No scrubbing, nothing stuck. Ready for next time.

The honest comparison

Why licking beats the rest.

A flat lick mat
This bowl
Holds attention
Licked clean in five minutes, then he wanders off bored.
The ball keeps pulling fresh food up, so he licks for thirty minutes, not five.
Stays put
Slides all over the floor, or he flips it over.
Suction cups hold it down, so it doesn't move.
Depth of calm
A thin smear on flat rubber, gone fast.
Deep grooves and a ball to nudge, so he licks slower and calms down more.
Bonus
One thing, one job.
Comes with a plain bowl and a free slow feeder too.

4.7/ 5

skeptical is an understatement, i've bought so much stuff for her separation anxiety that did nothing. she gets this before i leave now and actually stays on her bed instead of following me to the door crying. not a miracle worker but it's the first thing that's made a real dent.

I work from home and my lab loses it at every delivery, doorbell, whatever. bit of peanut butter on this and he's locked in for a good 30 min, quiet. the ball keeps him going way longer than the flat mat I had before. only downside is I have to actually remember to fill it before the amazon guy shows up lol

Got it for vet visits because she shakes the entire time. it works. the rolling ball keeps her licking way longer than the old mat that she'd finish in two seconds, and the suction cups actually hold so she can't fling it around like she does with everything else.

Rescue with pretty bad separation anxiety. I'll be honest it didn't fix him, nothing has. but the licking genuinely takes the edge off every time and he hasn't gone at the door frame since we started giving it to him before I go out. that alone is worth it to me.

took her a day or two to figure out the ball, she just kind of stared at it at first. now she's obsessed. honestly sort of relaxing to watch her work at it. only knocking a star because I now need a second one for upstairs and I'm annoyed I didn't just order two to begin with.

my beagle does not have an off switch, ever. smear some yoghurt on it and I get a solid 30 min of actual silence and he naps after which basically never happens. wasn't expecting the free slow feeder in the box either, used it that night for his dinner.

One more thing

Oh, and mealtimes are handled too.

You came for a calmer dog. But every bowl also ships with a free slow-feeder insert, a $10 value, for the other side. Drop it in and a fast eater has to work for every piece of kibble, so less gulping, less bloat, an easier dinner. Lift it out and you've got a plain bowl. Three bowls in one, and you only paid for the calming one.

Good questions

Before you add to cart.

The repetitive motion of licking releases calming endorphins and triggers the rest-and-digest response, which lowers cortisol and slows the heart rate. It's a dog's natural way to self-soothe, the same reason a stressed dog licks the sofa or his paws. This bowl gives that instinct a job: he nudges the rolling ball and works his tongue across the lotus lick mat to reach every last bit.

60-day calm-or-refund trial

Give him a way to calm down.

From $49, with a free slow feeder in every order. If your dog isn't settling calmer in 60 days, send it back and we'll refund every penny.
