IS IT A DOG LICK MAT OR CAT LICK MAT? YES!

Lick mats are great enrichment toys for dogs and cats, since both can find licking to be soothing and calming. The key is to choose only pet-safe, non-toxic options like SodaPup's proprietary lick mat material, in the right size and difficulty level for your pet. These licking mats for dogs and cats come in two sizes. With the larger size, the grooves and channels in the design are larger and thus less challenging for pets to get to their favorite healthy pet treats. Conversely, the smaller patterns of the small sizes create the paw-fect licking challenge for determined pets. 

BENEFITS OF LICK MATS FOR DOGS AND CATS

Why should you consider a licking mat for your pet? Both dogs and cats have a natural inclination to lick - licking naturally relaxes them as long as it is channeled in a healthy way. Not only does a lick mat provide a proper outlet for the licking urge, as opposed to a paw, shoe or furniture, it can provide challenge, fun and distraction in the process. Plus, it slows down eating speed and stimulates saliva, which in turn helps avoid overfeeding, aid digestion, and promote a fresh healthy mouth.

With a variety of fun and meaningful motifs, whichever lick mat you choose is sure to promote healthy snacking for pets and put smiles on human faces.

DOG LICK MAT FAQS

WHAT IS A LICKING MAT AND HOW DOES IT WORK?

A licking mat is a textured surface designed to hold soft pet treats or pet foods. As your dog or cat licks the mat, it provides mental stimulation, slows down eating, and helps soothe anxiety by releasing endorphins.

WHAT CAN I PUT ON A LICKING MAT?

You can use natural spreadable pet-friendly treats like natural peanut butter (xylitol-free), plain yogurt, pumpkin puree, wet food, unsweetened baby food, mashed fruits or veggies. Always make sure foods and ingredients are pet-safe, and consult your vet with any concerns.

HOW DO I CLEAN MY LICK MAT?

Sodapup licking mats are dishwasher-safe (top rack only). For handwashing, soak in warm, soapy water and use a brush to remove food residue.

ARE LICKING MATS SAFE FOR DOGS AND CATS?

Yes, both cats and dogs have a natural urge to lick. It may take a few times before your pet takes to a licking mat. Be sure to always supervise pets while using lick mats or any pet enrichment toy. Some pets may try to chew the mat; remove it if they start biting instead of licking or if the mat becomes damaged.

CAN I PUT MY LICKING MAT IN THE FREEZER?

These lick mats are freezer safe. Freezing extends the time it will take your pet to finish the treat and offers pets a different treat experience. Spread your pet’s favorite food on the lick mat, freeze it for 1-2 hours, and serve. This makes a great cool treat on a hot day.

HOW DO I CHOOSE THE RIGHT LICK MAT FOR MY PET?

Choose based on your pet’s size, licking style and propensity, and preferred texture. Soft silicone mats with shallow grooves are great for beginners and casual lickers, while tougher mats with deeper patterns suit stronger lickers and tongues.
