Ideal For
This enrichment slow feeder is perfect for fast eaters who gulp their food, flat-faced breeds that need shallow bowls, puppies learning healthy eating habits, anxious dogs who need calming activities, or any dog that benefits from mental stimulation during meals. Suitable for small, medium, and large dogs.
As a Slow Feeder Bowl: Spread your dog's regular kibble or wet food across the Baja pattern. The raised ridges create a puzzle-like feeding experience that forces dogs to eat slowly and work for their food, preventing gulping and improving digestion.
As a Lick Mat: Spread peanut butter, yogurt, pureed fruits, or wet food across the pattern for extended licking enrichment. The shallow design and intricate Baja pattern maximize licking time.
As a Frozen Treat: Fill with your dog's favorite spreadable treats and freeze for 2-3 hours to create a long-lasting cooling activity that's perfect for hot days, crate training, or calming anxious dogs.
As a Puzzle Feeder: Scatter kibble or small treats across the pattern to create a foraging challenge that engages your dog's natural scavenging instincts and provides mental exercise.
Why Choose the Baja Design eTray?
Unlike deep slow feeder bowls that can frustrate flat-faced breeds or traditional lick mats that only work with spreadable treats, the eTray's shallow design accommodates all food types while providing the same slow-feeding benefits. The Baja pattern is specifically engineered to create an optimal feeding challenge—difficult enough to slow eating but not so complex that dogs become frustrated.
Health Benefits: Slow feeding prevents dangerous bloating (gastric dilatation-volvulus or GDV), reduces choking risk, improves nutrient absorption, and promotes better digestion. When dogs eat too quickly, they swallow excess air which can lead to bloating, discomfort, and in severe cases, life-threatening stomach torsion. The eTray's raised ridges force dogs to eat at a natural, healthy pace.
Mental Enrichment Value: The licking and foraging action releases endorphins that naturally calm anxious dogs, making mealtime a stress-relieving activity. Dogs need mental stimulation just as much as physical exercise, and the Baja pattern provides cognitive challenges that prevent boredom and reduce destructive behaviors like excessive barking, chewing, or digging.
Perfect for Brachycephalic Breeds: Flat-faced dogs like pugs, bulldogs, French bulldogs, Boston terriers, and Pekingese often struggle with deep bowls due to their shortened snouts. The eTray's shallow design allows these breeds to access their food comfortably without straining their necks or faces. This reduces mealtime stress and prevents the breathing difficulties that can occur when flat-faced dogs struggle with deep bowls.
Versatile Enrichment Tool: Use the eTray for regular meals, as a calming lick mat during grooming or vet visits, as a treat dispenser for training rewards, or as a puzzle feeder to challenge your dog's problem-solving skills. The shallow design makes it accessible for puppies learning to eat, senior dogs with mobility issues, and brachycephalic breeds that struggle with traditional bowls. One product, multiple uses—exceptional value.
Beautiful Baja-Inspired Design: The intricate pattern is inspired by the natural beauty of Baja, Mexico. The light blue color and flowing design add aesthetic appeal to your home while providing functional feeding benefits. Unlike plain slow feeders, the Baja eTray is beautiful enough to leave out as part of your home decor.
Easy Care & Durability: The FDA-compliant material is dishwasher safe for easy cleaning (top rack recommended) and freezer safe for frozen treat preparation. The durable construction withstands daily use, and the non-slip base keeps the tray stable during enthusiastic eating or licking sessions.
Premium USA Quality: Every Baja Design eTray is manufactured in the USA using FDA-compliant, food-safe materials. We're committed to creating safe, effective enrichment products that support your dog's physical and mental well-being while meeting the highest quality and safety standards.

Our 2 dogs love these honeypots so much more than kongs! They get discouraged by kongs and leave a good amount of food/treat behind but never with these honeypots! They ALWAYS lick them clean so I feel comfortable putting their meals in them and freezing them. I keep hearing that there is a risk for the dog’s tongue to get stuck inside by suction but the opening is pretty large so it seems unlikely to me. Regardless, I don’t let my dogs have them unless I am there to supervise.
Another great find! I was curious if this would be too deep for my 30lb dog, I shouldn't have given a thought - it's perfect! Glad to have new Soda Pup feeders in rotation!
My pups and I love Soda Pup! The products are thoughtfully designed, produced, and loved by my dogs! I appreciate the sustainable efforts, ability to buy seconds, and quick shipping! We have slow feeders, like mats, honey pots, glitter balls, and more!
Great value & highly recommend! Great product for my Aussie puppy who loves to chew and chase. 3 in a pack is great. I added a thin rope to 2 to make tug toys. Bonus! No squeak and a sustainable option!
Love this pastel color and beautiful design. Purchased as a gift and have heard that it keeps the giftee occupied for a LONG time!
Hi there! We're so glad you love the color and design. It's wonderful to hear that the gift is keeping your furry friend entertained for a long time. Thanks for sharing your experience!

Hi Julie, we're thrilled to hear your dogs love the Honey Pot! Thanks for sharing your experience and for being a responsible pet parent. We appreciate your support!
And you are right! This product does not need a vent hole because the opening is so wide that a dog's tongue cannot create suction in the toy.
I got this suction cup lick mat holder to pair with the bones eMat and it works great. He tends to slide the mat around while licking, so this holder has been really helpful. The suction cups are strong and actually stay put. Plus, it's super easy to clean. Defientily worth it if your dog moves their lick mats all over the place.

We have a boarding facility in Oregon where we also bring in foster dogs. These treat dispensers are perfect for dogs as well as for our workers. They freeze great, for the dogs that enjoy this type of thing it is easy to actually get in and eat their whole dinner. And EASY TO KEEP CLEAN. when you are dealing with a lot of dogs that last one is probably the most important. WE LOVE THESE

Cute and functional!
We got a new puppy and needed some things to work on training with her. This bundle has been awesome. She loves the bear and the treats that come from it. The slow feeder has helped slow her down so no more getting sick. And the lick stick one has helped motivate her to walk a little further and also working on learning heel. The lick mat had been a great way for me to enjoy morning coffee while pup gets a treat as well. I picked this bundle cause I named my pup Honey and all the honey theme things seamed to perfect not to try.
