Before First Use

- Inspect the mat for damage before every use.
Three Simple Steps to Begin
Choose a Dog-Safe Spread
Use a soft food that is suitable for your pet's diet. Introduce new foods gradually and consult your veterinarian if your pet has allergies, dietary restrictions, digestive concerns, or another medical condition.
Spread the Treat
Use the included silicone spatula to spread a thin, even layer across the textured sections. Use one ingredient, separate different ingredients into zones, or combine soft and thicker textures.
Freeze Flat for Longer Enrichment
Spread the food evenly, place the mat on a flat freezer shelf, freeze for approximately 30 minutes, and serve under supervision.
Dog-Safe Ideas
- Plain unsweetened yogurt
- Pure pumpkin purée
- Xylitol-free peanut butter
- Wet dog food
- Mashed banana
- Cooked sweet potato
- Plain cottage cheese
- Low-sodium broth without onion or garlic
Foods to Avoid
- Xylitol
- Chocolate
- Grapes or raisins
- Onion or garlic
- Macadamia nuts
- Alcohol
- Excessively salty or sugary foods
- Unsafe artificial sweeteners
Freeze Flat
Thicker mixtures may require additional freezing time. Always serve frozen enrichment under supervision.
Why Freeze Flat Matters
Never freeze the mat folded, rolled, bent, or draped over another frozen item.
Freezing it in a bent position can affect its shape. If the suction cups no longer sit flat, they may not adhere properly to smooth surfaces.
Always store and freeze the mat flat.
Best Suction Performance
Suction cups work best on surfaces that are smooth, clean, flat, and non-porous.
How to Apply the Mat
- Clean the surface and the suction cups.
- Lightly dampen the suction cups or smooth surface.
- Position the mat.
- Press firmly from the centre outward to remove trapped air.
- Check that the mat is secure before allowing your pet to use it.
Recommended Surfaces
Surfaces to Avoid
Cleaning and Care
Wash the mat after every use and allow it to dry completely.
Everyday Cleaning
Rinse away loose food. Wash with warm water and mild dish soap. Clean the grooves using a soft brush when needed. Rinse thoroughly and allow the mat to dry completely.
Deep Cleaning
Soak the mat in warm water for approximately 30 minutes. Use a soft cleaning brush to loosen food from the grooves. Rinse thoroughly and allow it to dry flat.
Dishwasher
The mat may also be washed in the dishwasher. Position it securely so it does not fold or become trapped during the cycle. Avoid sharp cleaning tools and harsh abrasives.
Safety Guidelines
Everyday Ways to Use Pupresso
The mat can support many everyday routines when used with appropriate supervision.
The mat should support the routine, not replace appropriate exercise, training, veterinary care, or human interaction.

Use Thin Layers First
Start with a thin layer, especially when introducing the mat to a puppy or a pet unfamiliar with enrichment products.
Fill Multiple Zones
Using several textured zones creates variety and gives your pet more surface to explore.
Try Different Consistencies
Use smooth, mashed, and lightly textured foods to create different licking experiences.
Freeze Flat
Freezing flat protects the shape of the mat and suction cups.
Keep the Back Clean
Oil or food residue on the suction cups can reduce grip. Wash both sides of the mat.
Remove It Promptly
Once the food is gone, collect and clean the mat.
