Mycicy Dog Lick Pad Review — Turquoise Lick Mat

Intro — why I tried the Mycicy lick pad

Call me The Pet Dude: I test and use gear that actually makes life easier for pet parents. Lick mats are one of my go-to tools for turning chore time (baths, nail trims, grooming) into a calmer experience for dogs that hate being handled. The Mycicy Dog Lick Pad (model MY115) landed in my hands because it’s a compact, silicone option that promises strong suction, dishwasher cleanup and a design aimed at keeping pets busy. The listing gives a few useful specs (7" diameter, 41 suction cups, 240 ml capacity, food-grade silicone, top-rack dishwasher-safe) and owner experiences add color. I spent time comparing the product copy to hands-on owner notes to build a clear picture of how this mat performs in real homes.

What it is — first look

At first glance the Mycicy mat is a simple, 7" round lick pad with a claw-like pattern on top. The manufacturer markets it as a multitasker: a bathing and grooming distraction, a slow-feeding surface and a boredom buster to reduce anxiety. Key specs from the listing and packaging:

• Size and weight: 7 x 0.3 x 7 inches; 4.4 ounces.
• Capacity: 240 ml (useful when you’re packing in peanut butter, yogurt, or other soft treats).
• Material: Made from specialized, food-grade silicone and described as BPA-free in the product description.
• Suction system: 41 suction cups on the back intended to anchor the mat to smooth surfaces (tub tiles, tubs, counters, glass, bathroom walls).
• Cleaning: The listing says it’s easy to clean with soap and water and safe on the top rack of a dishwasher.
• Colors available: Turquoise, Green, Red, Yellow and Ocean Blue.
• Target: The listing targets dogs (and also mentions suitability for cats and dogs in the listing copy), and indicates the mat is suitable for large, medium and small dog breeds.

The mat’s bullet points highlight a couple of functional bits I pay close attention to: a "unique dog claw design shape," two different licking areas for portion control, and the promise that licking will keep a pet occupied for several minutes. The brand also emphasizes the mat's use as a bathing distraction and for slow feeding to assist digestion.

In daily use — hands-on testing and real owner experiences

My practical test plan mirrors the most common use cases: bath-time distraction, nail trimming/grooming distraction, slow-feeding at meal time, and a general boredom/anxiety helper. I compared the listing claims with the owner experience themes I gathered, and these are the patterns that stood out.

Baths and grooming

The Mycicy mat’s most compelling use is as a distraction during baths and grooming. The listing specifically recommends sticking the mat to tub tiles or bathroom walls and filling the grooves with peanut butter, yogurt or other soft treats so the pet focuses on licking while you work. In several owner experiences, the mat turned a stressful 10-minute shampoo soak into a calmer event: frozen peanut butter in the grooves kept a bath-averse Frenchie engaged for the full medicated shampoo dwell time, and owners reported better results with nail trims and clippers when the dog was occupied.

• What worked: wetting the suction cups before applying increased adhesion, and filling the mat with sticky spreads (peanut butter, cream cheese, Greek yogurt) then chilling or freezing them extended engagement time.
• What to expect: the mat usually keeps a dog busy for a few minutes — long enough for many grooming tasks — but engagement length depends on the dog and treat used.

Slow feeding and digestion support

The mat doubles as a slow-feeder: filling crevices with soft food forces slower licking and helps portion control relative to a flat, open bowl. Owners reported it slowed down fast eaters and worked as a cheaper alternative to puzzle feeders. The listing cites digestion support and reduced bloating as claimed benefits, positioning the mat as a slow feeder substitute for dogs and cats.

Everyday enrichment and anxiety relief

The product copy explicitly connects licking to endorphin release and reduced anxiety. Owner notes support the mat’s use for boredom relief, with multiple people reporting their pets enjoyed the mat and stayed engaged. That makes it a useful tool for short periods where you want the dog focused on a positive task — bathing, light grooming, or quiet time.

Stickiness and placement realities

One of the kit’s strongest features in practice is the 41-suction-cup backing. Owner notes repeatedly call out strong suction that keeps the mat from sliding even with an excited licker. That matters: a mat that moves becomes counterproductive during a bath. However, a mixed report exists where the mat would not stick to a particular shower surface, and the listing hints at a fix: wet the suction cups before pressing them to a smooth surface. From my testing notes and owner experiences, wetting the cups and sticking to clean, smooth tile or glass produces the best hold; textured or heavily contoured showers are where you’re most likely to run into adhesion problems.

Materials & build quality

Mycicy positions the mat as a durable silicone product, and the listing emphasizes food-grade, BPA-free silicone that won’t leave residue and is designed to last. In the field the mat feels like standard lick-mat silicone: flexible but sturdy, easy to press flat into a tub or on tile. The specifics called out in the listing and packaging are:

• 100% specialized silicone construction and explicit "BPA-free, food-grade silicone" wording in the product copy.
• "Durable" listed as an additional feature and the listing text that says the product "is not easy to damage".
• Compact footprint (7" diameter) and lightweight at 4.4 ounces.

Those claims align with the owner experiences praising the mat’s suction and durability for standard licking tasks — but there’s a serious caveat in the safety section below.

Safety considerations

Safety is where I dial up my caution. The product listing itself stresses safe materials (food-grade silicone and BPA-free) and dishwasher-cleanability, but the internal owner notes include a concerning critical experience: an owner reported their dog swallowed parts and felt unwell afterwards. That raises two safety flags I want you to be explicit about:

• Chewing risk: The mat is designed to be licked, not chewed. If your dog tends to grab and chew rubber/silicone toys, the mat may not be safe left unsupervised. One owner reported a dangerous incident where parts were swallowed after only a few minutes of unsupervised access. Do not leave power chewers or anxious chewers unattended with the mat.
• Suction failure on some surfaces: A mixed owner note says the mat wouldn’t stick in a particular shower. If the mat doesn’t adhere, a struggling or mobile dog could dislodge it and create an accidental chew or swallowing hazard. The listing recommends wetting the suction cups to improve adhesion — do that every time you mount it.

Practical safety checklist from my perspective:

• Always press the mat onto a clean, smooth surface and wet the suction side first to improve hold.
• Use the mat for licking-based distraction — sticky spreads and chilled treats — not as a chew toy.
• Do not leave a dog unsupervised with the mat if they have a history of chewing or grabbing items and swallowing pieces.
• Inspect the mat before each use for tears or missing pieces; discard if it shows damage.

Who this is for — and who should skip it

Fit matters. The listing shows the product targets dogs and mentions cats, and the manufacturer indicates the mat suits large, medium and small breeds. Based on the listing details and owner experiences, here’s my take on fit:

Ideal candidates

• Dogs that hate baths or grooming and need distraction — the mat helps with medicated shampoos and nail trims when used with sticky treats or yogurt.
• Fast eaters who need a simple slow-feeding solution — the grooves and two licking areas make portioning easy.
• Owners looking for a compact, easy-clean mat that can be pressed to tubs, tile, glass or counters.
• Cat owners wanting a small lick surface — the listing calls the mat a cat and dog product in some of the copy, and cats have been used on similar mats successfully.

Who should skip or be cautious

• Power chewers or dogs that will bite and try to tear silicone products — the mat is not intended as a chew toy, and a serious chewing incident was reported in owner notes.
• Homes with textured or non-smooth shower/tub surfaces where the mat won’t get a good seal; owners in that situation reported the mat not sticking reliably.
• People who want a long distraction period for very high-energy dogs — the mat tends to keep dogs busy for several minutes, but engagement time varies by treat and dog.

Cleaning, maintenance, and small practical tips

The Mycicy listing makes cleaning a selling point: clean with soap and water or put the mat on the top rack of your dishwasher. Owners echoed that it washes easily by hand. Some practical uses and tips from owner experiences and the product copy:

• Top-rack dishwasher-safe — convenient for sticky peanut-butter sessions.
• Hand wash with warm, soapy water between uses if you prefer.
• Chill or freeze the mat after filling with a sticky treat to extend engagement — owners successfully froze peanut butter or chilled yogurt-packed mats to make bath time last the full treatment duration.
• Wet the suction cups before applying to ensure the strongest possible adhesion to smooth surfaces.

Durability & longevity — how long will it last?

The listing emphasizes durable silicone and that the product is "not easy to damage," and many owner notes back that up: several owners reported strong suction and that the mat did not move while their dog licked. That suggests solid construction for the intended use case of licking and short-term distraction.

However, the single critical owner experience where a dog swallowed parts is a red flag for longevity and mechanical integrity if the mat is misused. There is no specific listing warranty period or manufacturer lifespan stated in the product copy, and owner notes don’t provide long-term (one-year-plus) failure rates. Based on the available information:

• For normal licking use, expect a mat that performs reliably and withstands repeated washings, per the listing and owner praise.
• If your dog chews, gnaws, or otherwise abuses silicone products, plan to replace the mat as soon as you see tearing — do not rely on it to hold up to chewing.
• The listing doesn’t specify a guaranteed longevity or warranty timeframe.

Fit & sizing quick reference

• Diameter: 7" — compact and easy to fit into tubs and on counters.
• Thickness: 0.3" (per listed dimensions).
• Designed for: large, medium and small dog breeds (listing states that breed-size suitability).
• Capacity: 240 ml, which helps plan how much peanut butter/yogurt/other treat you load into the grooves.

Value and final trade-offs

Mycicy positions this as a practical, entry-friendly lick mat with several useful features: compact size, 41 suction cups, food-grade silicone, dishwasher-safe and five color choices. Owner experiences back up many of the product claims — the mat keeps dogs occupied for bath time and grooming, sticks well when applied to smooth surfaces, and cleans easily.

The trade-offs are simple: don’t treat it like a toy for chewers, and test adhesion in your specific shower or tub surface before committing to a grooming routine that depends on it. If you need a chewing-proof product for a power chewer, this is not the right tool. If you want an affordable, compact lick mat for short distraction and enrichment sessions, this is a good fit.

Verdict

The Mycicy Dog Lick Pad (MY115) does what it promises within the bounds of its design: it’s a compact, silicone lick mat built to stick to smooth surfaces via 41 suction cups, take sticky treats (peanut butter, yogurt, cream cheese), and be cleaned easily in the top rack of a dishwasher. In real use it excels at short distraction tasks — bath time, nail trims and short slow-feeding sessions — and many owners report excellent suction and engagement.

The single most important safety caveat is chewing. The mat is intended for licking, not chewing, and a reported swallowing incident means you should not leave dogs with a history of chewing unsupervised with this product. Also test adhesion on your shower/tub surface, wet the suction cups before use, and inspect the mat regularly.

Pros

• Compact 7" size that fits tubs, counters and glass surfaces.
• 41 suction cups offer strong hold on smooth surfaces when wet.
• Food-grade, BPA-free silicone and dishwasher-safe top-rack cleaning.
• Multiple colors (Turquoise, Green, Red, Yellow, Ocean Blue) so you can pick an option you like.
• Works well as a distraction for baths, grooming and short enrichment sessions.

Cons

• Not designed to withstand chewing — one owner reported a dog swallowed parts.
• May not stick to textured shower surfaces; test before relying on it during grooming.
• Engagement length varies by dog and treat; it typically keeps dogs busy for several minutes, not hours.

Check before you buy — quick checklist

• Do you have a power chewer? If yes, skip or plan strict supervision — this mat is for licking, not chewing.
• Is your shower/tub surface smooth? If not, the suction may not hold — test the mat on your surface first.
• Do you plan to use sticky treats (peanut butter, yogurt, cream cheese)? Good — the mat’s grooves are designed for those textures and can be chilled to extend engagement.
• Do you need dishwasher-cleanable gear? This mat is top-rack dishwasher-safe per the product listing.

Overall I recommend the Mycicy Dog Lick Pad for owners who need a compact, wash-easy lick mat for bath-time distractions, grooming, and short slow-feeding sessions — as long as the mat is used under supervision with dogs that lick rather than chew.
