Turn everyday treats into an engaging enrichment activity with the SodaPup Whale Design Lick Mat. Featuring a fun whale-inspired design and textured surface, this clever mat encourages your dog to lick and explore their favourite soft foods rather than gobbling them up in seconds.

The suction cups on the reverse help secure the mat to clean, smooth surfaces, making it particularly handy during bath time. Simply attach it to the side of the bath or shower and give your dog something tasty to concentrate on while you get them clean.

It's also a useful addition to grooming routines, helping provide a positive distraction during activities such as brushing and nail care.

Licking is a naturally soothing activity for dogs, making this mat a lovely way to introduce more relaxing enrichment into their day. The textured surface also encourages slower treat consumption, while licking stimulates saliva production.

Diameter 8”

1. Choose a suitable soft treat such as dog-friendly peanut butter, wet food, plain yoghurt or cream cheese.
2. Spread a thin layer evenly across the textured surface, pressing the food into the grooves.
3. Select a clean, smooth surface such as a bath, shower wall or tiled floor.
4. Press the suction cups firmly against the surface to secure the mat.
5. Let your dog enjoy their tasty licking challenge while you supervise.

Top tip: For an extra refreshing treat, spread a suitable soft food over the mat and freeze before serving, provided the food and freezing method are suitable for your dog.

Always supervise your dog while using the mat. This is an enrichment mat, not a chew toy. Remove it immediately if damaged.

Care

Dishwasher safe on the top rack. Alternatively, wash by hand using warm water and mild soap. Rinse thoroughly to remove any food residue. Allow to dry before storing. Check the mat and suction cups regularly for signs of damage.

For best results, use on clean, smooth surfaces to help the suction cups attach securely.

SodaPup takes plenty of inspiration from nature when designing its enrichment toys, and this honeybee-themed collection is a great example, honeycomb mats, honey stick chews, honey bear dispensers, and now the Honey Pot, all built around the same playful idea. Every piece is designed to make mealtime more engaging, giving dogs a proper mental workout alongside their usual bowl of food. Its ranges includes slow feeders, lick mats and interactive products that give dogs opportunities to explore, sniff and work for their food.
