Product Description
Licking provides many benefits for your dog. That’s why we’ve developed a line of feeders made for licking, called Enrichment Feeders, which allow you to put food inside for your pooch to lick out. We have a wide variety of Enrichment Feeders, including eMats (also known as Lick Mats), eTrays, eBowls, and eCoins.
These Enrichment Feeders come with different levels of difficulty and a wide variety of fun and interesting pattern designs that do a great job of retaining the treats. Patterns that are shallower and have greater spacing make it easier for dogs to lick the food out. Patterns that are deeper, more complex, and have tighter spacing present more difficulty. The higher degree of difficulty leads to longer licking times. Enrichment feeders are a great way to give your pup a long-lasting treat without giving them too many calories.
Our Enrichment Feeders are heavier and sturdier than others on the market. We made them this way, so they stay in place and don’t move around too much, frustrating your dog’s licking efforts. This also makes them easier to handle and manage, especially when putting them in the freezer. Like all SodaPup toys, Enrichment Feeders are made in USA from the safest proprietary materials that are non-toxic, pet-safe, food-safe, and top rack dishwasher safe. Our products provide tremendous value because they’re built to last.
Many types of foods can be used with our Enrichment Feeders. Peanut butter or plain yogurt are obvious choices. Just makes sure they don’t contain added sweeteners, such as xylitol, which can be toxic for dogs. Mashed up or pureed fruits or vegetables are also great. Even ground meat and fish works. Whatever food you choose, just make sure they’re good for your fur baby.
Once you spread the food into the Enrichment Feeders, you can consider freezing them, so you have them premade and handy for when you need them. Freezing the Enrichment Feeders increase the licking challenge and extends the amount of time it takes your dog to finish licking up all the food. Freezing is especially a good idea on hot summer days to help your pooch cool off.
Enrichment feeders offer a myriad of benefits for dogs. Not only are they a great way to give your dog treats without over-feeding, as your dog works to lick the goodies out of all the nooks and crannies of our Enrichment Feeders, their mind and foraging instincts get stimulated. This activity is mentally enriching and keeps them busy & entertained for extended periods of time, delivering lots of entertainment without a lot of calories.
Furthermore, licking provides a calming effect that is soothing to dogs and can also be helpful in distracting them from stressful situations, such as thunderstorms, fireworks, and even grooming or bathing time. The repetitive licking also stimulates saliva, which aids digestive health and promotes healthy teeth & gums and fresh breath. So there really is no reason to not take a look at our wide selection of fun & effective Enrichment Feeders.
There are several factors to consider when choosing a suitable Enrichment Feeder for your dog. You must scrutinize the Enrichment Feeder’s quality, safety, and appropriateness against your dog’s age and size. Here are some guidelines in finding the right Enrichment Feeder for your pet:
Sturdiness & Durability: Make sure you get Enrichment Feeders that are sturdy and durable. The ones that are flimsy are a pain to handle for both you and your pooch. Get Enrichment Feeders that are rigid enough to retain the food you put in them. SodaPup Enrichment Feeders are nice and sturdy and made of our extremely durable proprietary materials that are built to last.
Pattern & Difficulty: Variety is the spice of life for your dogs as well as yourself. That’s why SodaPup offers a wide range of fun & interesting patterns with varying levels of difficulty. For example, our Bones pattern design is the easiest for dogs to lick. The pattern is shallow and has greater spacing making it easier for dogs to lick the food out of the pattern. Our Honeycomb has intermediate difficulty level, while our Zombie, Flower Power, and Jigsaw designs are all more complex and difficult.
Easy to Clean: To make your life easier, choose Enrichment Feeders that are dishwasher safe. All SodaPup toys are top rack dishwasher safe. Some Enrichment Feeder designs are complex and retain foods very well in the tight corners of the design. To clean these Feeders you can use a scrub brush with soap and water. Letting them soak for a period of time will also help. In general, the more complex the pattern design, the tougher it may be to clean.
Dog-Safe Materials: Safety is of utmost importance, especially when you’re dealing with products that involve food. All SodaPup toys are made from our proprietary non-toxic materials that are food-safe, dog-safe, BPA- and phthalate-free.
Size & Weight: Enrichment Feeders need to have some weight to them so that they stay in place and not frustrate the licking efforts of your dog. This is especially important for very large dogs with powerful tongues. We designed our Enrichment Feeders to be heavy enough, so they stay in place. The size of Enrichment Feeders is also an important consideration. The larger the size, the more food it can hold. SodaPup offers Enrichment Feeders in two sizes: large and small.
Durability
We specialize in innovative toys for power chewers. SodaPup natural rubber toys are made with a proprietary power chewer compound called PuppyPrene. Our rubber toys come in three compounds: Original for most power chewers, Puppy (only available in pink) for the tender mouths of teething pups, and Magnum, our signature black formula for dogs that destroy everything! Note: not all pink toys are made for puppies. SodaPup nylon toys are made from our proprietary PETstrong material. Our nylon toys are super durable and designed to be one size-fits-all: thin enough for the smallest chewers yet large enough for bigger dogs. While nearly all of our toys are made from nylon or natural rubber, we do have a few toys that are made from TPE (thermoplastic elastomer), which is a form of synthetic rubber.
Safety
Safety is our top concern and that’s why we have developed the safest non-toxic pet toy materials on the market that are also Food-Safe, BPA- and phthalate-free. Our toys are also dishwasher safe (top rack), making clean-up simple. Furthermore, our proprietary nylon and natural rubber materials have high tear strength to resist destruction.
Made in USA
We understand that we live in a global economy, but we also believe that if our products can be made at home, then we should produce them here. Manufacturing overseas exploits cheap labor, lowers standards for the planet, and compromises quality control. As a veteran-owned business we believe in keeping jobs in America. We believe it results in higher quality products that are produced responsibly.
Not all dogs, and not all dog parents are alike. At SodaPup, we’ve created unique collections to appeal to different audiences. Our brands include USA-K9 (inspired by military objects and built to withstand the demanding use of professional K9 handlers in law enforcement and the military), Industrial Dog (inspired by American tradesmen and women), Spotnik (inspired by dogs in space), MuttsKickButt (inspired by iconic American objects) and, of course, SodaPup (inspired by our favorite iconic American junk food). We’ve also launched a healthy dog treat brand called Dogtastic. Like our toys, our dog treats are made in the USA and made from only human-grade ingredients. Most of our treats are gluten-free, sugar-free, soy-free and salt-free. Your dogs will love them, and they work beautifully inside our wide array of treat dispensers and treat puzzles for dogs.
At SodaPup we believe that our choices define us. We’re not just a company driven by the bottom line. We’re committed to doing business in ways that are good for people and the planet, not to mention your dog. All our products are manufactured in the USA where we can ensure the integrity of our materials, our process and ultimately our quality. Our toys are built to last so that your hard-earned dollars go farther, even if you have a four-legged toy destroyer in your life!

Durable and great for dogs who tend to chew other silicon lick mats
Most lick mats out there are silicon and our dog just chews on them and couldnât get the hang of it. This one is plastic so he quickly learned itâs more efficient to lick the food out. We feed our dog half wet food and can easily fit an entire can into the bowl before freezing it with plenty of room to spare.If your dog is still trying to chew on the edge of the bowl, try only putting food/treats in the middle sections so thereâs none around the edge to entice chewing on the bowl as much.

Cutest slow feeder ever!
This is such an incredible item. I rate it so highly because it is entirely made here in the USA. Sadly we dont come across that enough, and I love what this company is doing.The look of this slow feeder is beautiful. The material is hard and sturdy; Very durable in my opinion. There are many nooks and crannies to fill with different options and it kept my dog very engaged during her meal time.Great product and would definitely buy again.

It is very sturdy, the design is good, but can be re-thought a bit
This bowl is very sturdy, it is efficient in helping my dog eat slower. There are two things that can be rethought: 1. The depth of the spaces where the food fall, it is a bit too deep, especially for those smaller spaces. 2. Some of the smaller spaces the kibble gets stuck in, making it impossible for the dog to get them, and hard for the human parent to get them out without a tool.

Great Enrichment Tool
I love these lick mats as an enrichment tool for my older dog. His is a 13 year old Weimaraner mix and we like to use these lick mats with combinations of dog safe peanut butter, canned dog food, low sodium bone broth, and canned pumpkin. Once frozen these mats offer him a solid hour of activity. They wash well and have definitely lived up to expectations.

Great lick mat.
Excellent way to keep dog occupied and engaged. My dog loves it. Washes clean fairly easily, by hand or in the dishwasher. This flower design is small, so not great for peanut butter ( harder to clean residue, but mot impossible), so I use it mostly for yogurt and canned pumpkin. Thank you!

Dogs love it
Great way to slow them down. Used with Raw and kibble. Good quality.

Not ideal for large breed dogs
This is a lot smaller and flatter than I thought. Itâs maybe a half an inch think and roughly the size of my hand. Sodapup you should make large breed dog sizes because this didnât fit even one meal of kibble for my 5 month puppy let alone when sheâs full grown. Itâs used more for treats now because not sure what to use it for .. itâs pretty and sturdy but .. this only ideal for small dogs ..

Great for kitties
Works great for churu or pate style wet food. Shredded or chunkier food doesn’t quite fit as well. Keeps the kitties happy and engaged at meal time
Sarah –
Love the lotus design and colour. My hairless chihuahua has no trouble eating from it.
KS –
Great product. Sturdy, great quality.It has made food fun for our boy. He loves the different sections and finding different treats in each section.Recommended!
SW_SUPPORT_PAGE –
While I love the durability of this product, it’s rather small for my dog and some of the gaps are way to small for my dog to get anything out of. The small gaps also make for difficult cleaning if you don’t have a dishwasher.
SW_SUPPORT_PAGE –
Why does it have engraved words in the corner. The gaps are so small If food gets in there it’s almost impossible to get out.

My parrots love it when I sprinkle millet or pellets on these mats. This is my 3rd one, as they don’t like to share!
