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 Surf's Up eMat brings beach vibes and coastal cool to your dog's enrichment routine in a thoughtfully compact format. The small size is perfectly proportioned for puppies still learning to use lick mats, toy breeds whose muzzles are better suited to a smaller surface, and cats who need feline-appropriate enrichment feeding. Available in blue. Made in the USA from non-toxic, FDA-compliant TPE — dishwasher safe and freezer safe.
