About

Our journey starts way back in 2011 when my wife and I opened Wacky Wags which is a dog daycare and boarding facility with a small retail store in the little town of Chico CA. Its been 15 years now and Wacky Wags is still going strong.

​

In our humble retail store we sell licking mats to our customers and they love them. We decided to make a licking mat treat add-on to our daycare dogs as a special treat during their lunch break and of course it became a big hit.

​

We had a couple of issue to take care of and the first was how to elevate the mat in the dog crate to prevent it from scooting all over the crate floor during their lunch break. Usually the mat ended up at the back of the crate with the dog laying on them. We became tired of crawling into the crate to fetch the mat and having to wash a dog because of left over treat residue stuck to their fur. I knew there had to be a better way.

​

After many nights thinking of what we needed my light bulb finally went off and I knew we needed a holder of some sort that can be attached to a crate and to hold the licking mats up off the floor. We needed the holder to attach in a location that makes it easy to retrieve the mat.

After countless hours searching the interwebs I could not find anything that would work. I had to come up with my own design and after many prototypes LickiDocks was finally born.

I use LickiDocks in my crate system at Wacky Wags and it is the best, we can adjust the height for different size dogs and we attach it to the door of the crate making mat retrieval a breeze and yes, no more washing dogs! We also noticed that the urge to chew the mats went away because they are surrounded by metal.

​

This was my little secret but I started thinking and realized I was probably not the only one experiencing this problem, I'm sure my customers were having the same issues at home but the mats probably ended up under their couches or beds. Ding ding again and I started producing them for our customers but like most folks we don't keep our furry family members in crates all the time at home but they wanted to be able to give their pet a licking mat treat and keep it in the same place at all times outside of a crate, yep you guessed it, that's when LickiDock Stations were born.

​

It all started with the "A" Frame Station – the perfect solution for pet owners who want to treat their furry members while keeping things tidy! With our innovative design, you can easily provide your pets with a delicious licking mat treat, making snack time a breeze. No more searching for a spot to set up your pet's treat; LickiDock Stations keep everything organized and accessible.

As a bonus I was able to incorporate LickiDocks and LickiDock Stations into our boarding program at Wacky Wags as a add-on sale for our boarding customers. The "A" Frame Station fits perfectly in their suites and yep it stays in one place, we love it, clients love it and the pups love it even more.
