Add a little love to your dog’s daily routine with the SodaPup Love Heart Design Dog Lick Mat. Its pattern of raised and recessed hearts creates different areas for soft food to settle into, giving your dog a more interactive way to enjoy a favourite snack.

Simply spread a suitable treat over the surface, pressing it gently into the textured sections. Your dog can then lick their way around the design, exploring the different shapes as they work to reach the food. Licking provides a natural, focused activity that can help keep dogs occupied during calm moments at home.

The mat is useful for offering a small treat between meals, making snack time more interesting or giving your dog something to focus on while you follow a familiar routine. You can use dog-safe peanut butter, wet food, plain yoghurt or softened treats, choosing ingredients that suit your dog’s diet. Measuring the amount before spreading it also helps you keep portions in check.

Available in small and large sizes, the Love Heart Lick Mat can suit different needs, from smaller snacks to a more generous serving. Check the dimensions and choose the option that works best for your dog and the amount of food you plan to offer.

Made from TPE, the mat is designed for food-based enrichment rather than chewing. Always supervise your dog while they use it, and remove it if they start biting the mat or if it shows signs of damage.

Materials

The Love Heart Lick Mat is made from TPE, a flexible material used in SodaPup’s food-enrichment range, the lick mats as made from food-contact-compliant material.

Care

Wash after every use, especially when serving wet or sticky foods. Clean with warm water and mild washing-up liquid, working food out of the heart-shaped grooves, alternatively, place it on the top rack of the dishwasher. Allow the mat to dry completely before storing. Check the surface regularly for bite marks, cracks or tears. Replace the mat if it becomes damaged or unsafe.

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.
