I actually never really saw the dog licking mats before so I was very interested in trying these out. My dog is not a big fan of bath time so I wanted to see if I could get these for my bathroom wall and put peanut butter on it so that my dog can enjoy a snack while I give him a bath. This worked wonders and I am wishing that I knew about this a long time ago. It is the first time that my dog hasn't fought me throughout the entire process of a bath. I did just get his nails cut but next time I am going to try to do that myself and stick it on the wall and see if I can get him to let me cut his nails while he is busy with his peanut butter snack. I love that these are a two pack because just in case one ends up getting destroyed or ripped I have another one as backup until I can order more
