Why lick mats work for dogs:
Sustained licking triggers the release of endorphins and serotonin, producing a natural calming effect. Lick mats are used by veterinarians and certified dog trainers to reduce separation anxiety, ease grooming stress, slow fast eaters, and provide mental enrichment for high-energy dogs.
The SodaPup Groovy Love eMat brings peace, love, and retro vibes to your dog's enrichment routine in a compact, small-dog-friendly format. The peace symbol and heart motifs create a surface texture that holds spreads beautifully for smaller muzzles, while the cheerful purple coloring makes it easy to spot in any enrichment kit. Pairs perfectly with the small Surf's Up or Flower Power eMat for a two-mat rotation. Made in the USA from non-toxic, FDA-compliant TPE — dishwasher safe and freezer safe.
