Why lick mats work for dogs:
Sustained licking triggers the release of endorphins and serotonin, producing a natural calming effect. Lick mats are used by veterinarians and certified dog trainers to reduce separation anxiety, ease grooming stress, slow fast eaters, and provide mental enrichment for high-energy dogs.
The SodaPup Sun n' Sea eMat brings the warmth of a sunny beach day to your dog's enrichment routine. Its sun-and-sea surface pattern creates excellent texture for holding spreads during extended licking sessions, while the powerful suction cups secure it to any smooth surface for hands-free bath time enrichment. Available in yellow and light blue. Made in the USA from non-toxic, FDA-compliant TPE — dishwasher safe and freezer safe.
