(PRESS RELEASE) BOZEMAN, MT – West Paw CEO, Spencer Williams, announced the new Feast Mat, a revolutionary, multi-purpose lick mat and slow feeder designed for dogs and made with Seaflex, the company’s award-winning, recycled ocean-bound plastic. This innovative, versatile design offers enrichment with a lick mat and slow feeding mat all in one product.
“Any combination of dog friendly foods, treats, kibble, spreadable snacks and even liquids can be used with our new Feast Mat,” said Williams. “The innovative double-sided patterns offer both engagement and entertainment with unique ways for our dogs to experience rewards and enrichment. It encourages slower feeding habits, provides stress relief and so much more. It’s a 2-in-1 product that we know pets, their parents and our planet will love.”
Thoughtfully designed with durability, versatility, and enrichment in mind, one side encourages paced eating and a dog’s innate desire to forage. Slow feeding has multiple benefits for dogs from aiding in the digestive process, stress relief and more. The second side offers a uniquely designed lick mat, great for spreading softer foods like West Paw’s Creamy Dog Treats, yogurt, nut butters, smashed banana, cottage cheese and more, and is used as a great tool to occupy bored dogs, enhance their everyday feeding experience, and can even calm an anxious dog. And, just like all West Paw products, the new Feast Mat is crafted from safe, sustainable materials. This non-slip, easy to clean (top rack dishwasher safe), durable and flexible mat will stay securely in place when in use and is offered in the perfect size that is great for any dog.
“Dry food, wet food, canned, frozen or raw- pet parents will enjoy creating a feast any dog will love with the new West Paw Feast Mat,” Williams added.
The perfect companion to the new Feast Mat is any West Paw Creamy Dog Treat, the line of mess-free, squeezable pouches packed with simple planet-based nutrition, clean ingredients in nut butter flavors that dogs love. West Paw’s Creamy Dog Treats are a healthy, safe and responsibly made gourmet upgrade perfect to serve alone, as a topper with kibble, a quick snack on the trail and, for sneaking into the new Feast Mat and puzzle toys like best-selling, TOPPL, QWIZL, or TUX.
