The SodaPup Goldfish eMat is the best small lick mat designed specifically for cats and small dogs who need gentle, engaging enrichment — a USA-made, FDA-compliant TPE mini lick mat with a goldfish design that is perfectly sized for feline muzzles and small-breed dogs. Recommended by veterinarians and cat behaviorists for feline enrichment, boredom relief, and food-motivation building in cats.
Key specs:
Size: Small/Mini (~4"×4") — specifically proportioned for cats and small dogs
Best for: Cats, small dogs, puppies, toy breeds, brachycephalic breeds, multi-pet households, introductory cat enrichment
Difficulty: Easy (gentle goldfish-themed texture suited to smaller, more delicate licking)
Works with: Wet cat food, plain yogurt, canned fish, salmon paste, tuna, pureed meat, kibble softened with broth
Dishwasher safe: Yes (top rack)
Freezer safe: Yes
Made in: USA
Why lick mats work for cats:
Sustained licking triggers the release of endorphins and serotonin in cats as well as dogs, producing a natural calming effect. Lick mats support feline enrichment by slowing eating, reducing food-related anxiety, and providing an engaging sensory activity that satisfies natural foraging instincts.
The SodaPup Goldfish eMat is a small-but-mighty lick mat designed specifically for cats who deserve more from mealtime. Its goldfish-motif surface texture is gentle enough for cats while still holding wet food, fish paste, and yogurt effectively for extended licking sessions. The playful goldfish theme resonates with feline instincts and the small footprint fits perfectly in front of food bowls or on feeding stations.
Who this lick mat is designed for:
Cat owners looking for feline-specific enrichment products
Multi-pet households with both cats and small dogs
Owners of toy breeds, miniature dogs, or brachycephalic breeds
Anyone introducing lick mat enrichment to a cat for the first time
Veterinarians recommending slow feeding or anxiety reduction for cats
How to use the SodaPup Goldfish eMat for cats:
Spread a thin layer of wet cat food, salmon paste, or plain yogurt across the surface
Place on a flat, stable surface at floor level for easy cat access
Allow your cat to lick at their own pace — do not rush the session
For extended sessions, freeze the loaded mat for 2–4 hours before serving
Clean top rack dishwasher or hand wash with mild soap after each use
Made in the USA from FDA-compliant, food-safe TPE. BPA-free, PVC-free, phthalate-free. Safe for cats and small dogs of all breeds.

I was a little suspicious of this goldfish lick mat at first, but now I love it at the enrichment and thoroughly enjoy every meal! It's cute and fun. I just received my second one! Highly recommended by Berkeley. 🐾

Good quality, great alternative to westpaws
I think the quality of the soda pup toys have gotten better over the years. I really like these flower pots and they are an excellent alternative to the westpaws fillable "cups"
I wasn't sure if my dogs would actually chew on this toy, but they do! They'll switch between this flat-shaped toy and their bones. It's very cute and has held up well, although my dogs are not super chewers so take that with a grain of salt.
I was a little skeptical since we haven’t tried these lick mats but heard a lot about them. Well! The Dobermans absolutely love them! The continuous licking action on these mats definitely helps to stimulate and tire their brains. Happy pups happy mom. The suction cups on the bottom of the mat definitely helps.
My dog has megasophagus and needs to eat her food slowly instead of gulping. Soda Pup provides bowls made in the U.S. with quality slow feeding bowls so I can feed her without worry. Thank you so much for providing a product that’s safe for my dog.
Amazing mixture of enrichment products and also great quality. Will definitely be purchasing another 20-pack for our kennel enrichment program or splitting them amongst friends!
The slower feeder bowl I purchased from Sodapup works really well and great fit for my Irish wolfhound puppy!!!! The bowl was discounted due to cosmetic issues but I cannot see a thing wrong with them! I bought 2!!!
From my perspective it was well made, heavy duty, easy to fill and clean.
From my dog's perspective he loved it. I made one and after he tried it he kept staring at the empty ones on the counter.
Super helpful for my dog’s physical therapy! He does water treadmill and acupuncture. The lick stick helps the topping last, and keeps him focused and calm. I like that I ended up using less product as the textured surface keeps the licks lasting.
My 9yo male Doberman loves this ball! He chomps on it and tosses it everywhere. The squeak does in fact give out, but it lasts way longer than anything else that has ever squeaked.
I got this for my lick mat loving dog and she’s LOVING it all but especially the lick mat. It takes her a solid 30+ mins to finish when her other lick mats are maybe 5 mins activities. All products feel very well made and you can’t beat the price!

This Was great for keeping my pups cool on hot summer days.
This was great for melon mg my pups cool on hot sun her days. I blended some organic berries, a little plain organic yogurt, a drop of local honey and some filtered water, filled the pots up and froze them. It took them a good amount of time to lick their frozen pup pots. And it kept my pups nice and cool.
