Make snack time a little more interesting with the SodaPup Christmas Tree Design Lick Mat. Its festive tree pattern features textured sections that give soft foods plenty of places to settle, encouraging your dog to lick around the design to enjoy every last bit.

Simply spread a suitable treat across the surface, pressing it gently into the grooves. The textured pattern gives your dog a focused activity to work through, making the mat a handy option for adding variety to their day. It can be used for a small snack, an occasional reward or a food-based activity when you want to keep your dog occupied.

The mat works with a range of soft foods, including wet dog food, dog-safe peanut butter, plain yoghurt and suitable purées. You can also try softened kibble or other dog-friendly mixtures. For a different experience, prepare the mat with an appropriate filling and freeze it before serving.

With its red colour and Christmas-tree design, this lick mat makes a seasonal addition to your dog’s enrichment collection, but it can be used throughout the year. The textured surface offers a moderate level of challenge, so your dog can take time exploring the pattern while licking up their treat.

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.
