These lick mats were the perfect addition to our event! The wine glass and bottle pattern matched our theme seamlessly and added such a fun, elevated touch. Beyond looking fantastic, they held up wonderfully with various spreads and kept the dogs calm and entertained throughout the gathering. The material feels very durable and cleans up easily. We will definitely be using these for future events!

Why Shallow Feeders Work for Brachycephalic Dogs
Flat-faced breeds — brachycephalic dogs like pugs, French bulldogs, bulldogs, and Boston terriers — have difficulty reaching food in deep bowls due to their shortened snouts. Shallow slow feeder trays provide the perfect depth: easy to reach but still textured enough to slow eating, reduce gulping, and provide mental enrichment at every meal.
Mealtime Enrichment in Every Bite
The SodaPup Water Frog eTray transforms mealtime into an engaging mental workout for your dog. Inspired by the intricate patterns found on water frogs, the surface design features layered ridges, curves, and pockets that hold food in place while encouraging your dog to lick, nudge, and work through each section — mimicking the natural foraging behavior dogs are hardwired to enjoy.
Made from SodaPup's signature FDA-compliant, BPA-free TPE, the Water Frog eTray is soft on sensitive muzzles and gentle for brachycephalic breeds that need extra care at mealtime. Use it fresh, freeze it with wet food or pureed treats for a long-lasting lick session, or run it through the dishwasher for effortless cleanup. It's the everyday enrichment tool your dog didn't know they needed.

Purchased for our puppy. She seems to enjoy them this one is suitable for small pieces of kibble like open farm puppy. Great for yogurt, rehydrated freeze dried food or home made meatball (soft texture) treats. She does have some difficulty getting wet foods/ kibble out of the sharp angles. A few places can be tricky to wash I use a toothbrush. Washes easy I hand was haven’t tried the dishwasher. Well made as she has chewed the ridges a bit trying to get something out. She is about 7 months old so still learning to use enrichment toys. Look forward to trying some other ones.
Thank you so much for your review. We're so happy the eTray is working out for you and your puppy!
This is a very well made product. Super sturdy and easy to clean . This slowed down our new rescue and gave our other dog more time to eat in peace.
I guess my idea of a lick mat is a silicone style mat that is flexible. When I first received this, I was surprised how hard it was, I didn't realize it was basically hard plastic. I put it out on the shelf in my store and customers have loved it! I am going to be ordering more in the future for sure. The customers like the size and the cute shapes of these lick mats.
We're so glad your customers love them Alyssa! Thank you for the review.
We have a senior chihuahua with not a lot of teeth and she normally inhales her food. Not with this! She seems to genuinely enjoy eating out of her frog tray, she really takes her time with it and she’s even more excited about meal times now. Even though her portions are small, I can still use a lot of the space provided. It takes her a little while, but she’s able to get about 95% of her food out on her own (freeze dried raw + toppings) and I help her get the rest out. It’s easy to clean, doesn’t take up a lot of space and I’m overall very happy with my purchase. Will definitely be ordering again!
Hi Djamila - Thank you for your review. We're so happy to hear that your chihuahua enjoys eating out of the frog etray!
This is a hard tray that works great for feeding my dog his frozen food (soaked kibble). It is made of a hard plastic and not silicone so my Belgian Malinois is not able to bite and inadvertently pull pieces off like other lick mats. I am able to put a surprising amount of food in the tray and it keeps him busy for a solid 15 minutes while laying on his rug. Great idea, thanks!
Thanks for your review Michelle. We're happy to hear that the Water Frog eTray is working well for you. We designed it specifically for dogs that chew up their lick mats so we're really pleased to read your review!

Customers love these as gifts for pet friends or for their own.
Quick and easy shopping. Great product.
My dog was put on a diet by our vet, so I am diluting her food with chicken broth and using the lick mat. She is losing weight. And I believe the time it takes her to eat is helping her to feel more full, as well as content.
Love the design and durability! If you have a dog that eats too fast, I recommend this! It’s not too shallow and is easy to clean, too!
Quality is insane- I’m going to repurchase as gifts
Loveee the quality is insane
Love the cards!
Great variety & quality! I know the rescue pups will really enjoy this bundle.
I’m using as a treat/kibble dispenser for my dog- great size and very sturdy toy. I got 2 more as holiday gifts for friend’s dogs because of cute appearance.
We do a lot of frozen food stuffed toys for our dogs. This shape is simple but holds enough food to keep the dogs busy for quite a while. Being round means there are less places for the dogs to get a good hold of to chew apart.
This box of enrichment bowls, mats, and cooperative tools is fantastic. Yes… I enjoyed the variety of colors and styles, but more importantly all of the dogs in my care did, as well. I think this is a great vale and investment in enrichment items for those with a multi dog household or a business caring for dogs. There’s something for everyone and pretty much every activity. Another great product offering by soda pup!
Love products made in USA! Orders always processed quickly.
They love to gnaw on these.
Nice design and fun to play with.
