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.

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.
My dog loves this ball! Something about the internal squeaker really does it for him. And if he loves it so do I!
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!
These helped tremendously during the fireworks barrage 4th of July weekend. We used non fat plain yogurt and froze them to create calming treat to help lessen our puppies anxiety.
Great lick mat!! High quality and love the design. It's a moderate level difficulty which is perfect for my guy. Makes him work hard but also has some easier spots for enticement!! I love that it doesn't have suction cups on the bottom too. Plus....veteran owned and American made!!! Can't beat that💜🐾
My almost 1.5 year old Blue Heeler, 9 year old German Shepherd, and 2ish year old Border Collie mix all love this thing! Especially when I stuff treats in it (dogs are separated for this of course 👍) They love using this as a throwing toy too and the rubber material is soft enough I feel comfortable throwing it inside the house.
My dogs love that this bounces wildly from the Asteroid shape. This has quickly become a favorite amongst my two heelers and my German Shepherd
This was a nice assortment of treat toys for my 3 dogs. It took them a minute to figure them out, but they really seem to enjoy getting some of their kibble that way. Its super hot outside right now and I am keeping them in. These activities help wear out their brains a bit.
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.
SodaPup offers wonderful, high-quality enrichment toys and creative feeding solutions that make mealtime more engaging and enjoyable. Their customer service is excellent, delivery is fast, and every order is packaged with care. I highly recommend SodaPup!

It’s made of a durable material that does well in the dishwasher. Our dog seems to like it & she seems to be eating a little more slowly. I’ll know more as time goes by.
My dog really enjoyed his sodapup flowerpots, he'd have one everyday if I could keep them stocked!
