Starfish eChew — Fillable Nylon Chew & Enrichment Toy for Medium to Large Dogs
The SodaPup Starfish eChew is a very durable nylon chew toy designed for medium to large dogs — with a feature that sets it apart. The starfish’s built-in pockets aren’t just part of the design: they’re made to be filled with soft foods like peanut butter, yogurt, wet food, or cream cheese, turning a tough nylon chew into a rewarding enrichment experience. Chew the arms. Lick from the pockets. One toy, two ways to engage. While no dog toy is indestructible, SodaPup nylon toys are very durable and built to outlast rubber and plush alternatives — always supervise your dog during use.
Key Features
Fillable pockets for enrichment — the standout feature: The built-in pockets across the starfish arms are specifically designed to hold soft foods like peanut butter, yogurt, wet food, or cream cheese — pack them in and let your dog work to lick every bit out for extended mental engagement
Very durable nylon construction: Built to outlast rubber, plush, and standard nylon toys — no dog toy is indestructible, so always supervise chew sessions and replace when significantly worn
Ideal for medium to large dogs: At 4.6 oz and designed for dogs 15–80 lbs, the Starfish is well-suited for medium and large breeds with strong jaws
Five-armed starfish design: Multiple arms provide varied grip points and chewing surfaces, keeping dogs engaged from every angle
Promotes dental health: Textured nylon surface helps clean teeth and massage gums with every chew
FDA-compliant and safe: Non-toxic, food-safe nylon — safe for direct contact with the foods you fill it with
Available in blue and red: Eye-catching colors that are easy to spot in the yard or at the park
Versatile play: Works as a chew toy, fillable enrichment tool, and retrieving toy
How to Use the Starfish eChew
As a chew toy: Give directly to your medium or large dog for sustained gnawing. The five arms provide multiple grip points and the nylon surface offers satisfying chewing resistance. Always supervise and replace if the toy becomes significantly worn.
As a fillable enrichment toy: Pack the pockets with peanut butter, plain yogurt, wet food, cream cheese, pureed pumpkin, or any dog-safe soft food. Your dog will work to lick every bit from each arm — turning a chew session into a foraging puzzle. For a longer-lasting challenge, fill and freeze for 2–4 hours before giving to your dog.
Combined: The real magic is when your dog chews the starfish arms while working to access the filling in the pockets — delivering both physical chewing satisfaction and the calming mental engagement of licking enrichment simultaneously.
Why Fillable Pockets Make All the Difference
Most nylon chew toys are solid — great for chewing, but offering no enrichment beyond the chew itself. The Starfish eChew’s fillable pockets change that. By packing them with soft foods, you extend engagement time, add mental stimulation, and give food-motivated dogs a reason to keep coming back to the toy. Five pockets across five arms means more surface area, more licking, and longer enrichment sessions than a single-hole toy.
Enrichment Benefits
Mental stimulation: Working to access food from multiple pockets engages problem-solving instincts and reduces boredom
Separation anxiety: Fill and freeze before you leave — gives anxious dogs a focused, calming activity during alone time
Slow feeding: Pack with a meal’s worth of wet food to slow consumption and support healthy digestion
Cooperative care: Use as a distraction during grooming, nail trims, or vet visits
Redirects destructive chewing: Gives medium and large dogs an appropriate, satisfying outlet for their natural chewing instincts

Great little treat star!
My dog usually don’t like tough chew toys, but this one is exception. She likes to chew since the day one I adopted her. The first one got petty much destroyed so I got two more. I put some Inaba Churu treat on it and freeze it, and give her as a treat after each training session.
She seems to love it.
Hi Aya - We're so happy that the starfish toy is working for you and your pup! Thanks for leaving a review!

Solid choice
I think I might need something with deeper wells, but this was a test of sorts. It works for us, he gets to chew and I get a little more time by filling the wells and freezing it.

Love this lick mat!
Love this lick mat bacause it is easy to clean, suction cups work great, and the spacing of the textured design is right for my medium sized dog and the canned food I use. It's great that Soda Pup has a variety of textures available in the lick mats for longer or shorted lick sessions or different food textures for different training sessions/rewards. Also the colors and designs are fun!

Love the Honey Pot!
I’ve just ordered a second Honey Pot, have been using the XL with my 45 Lb dog - that will hold a whole meal for him. Easy to clean, love the colors and design. I ordered a L size to hold a smaller amount. I like the wide opening of this object.

Variety was great and blemishes were not noticeable.
Loved the variety in the package and the cosmetic b blemishes were hardly noticeable. I got them for a foster going through heartworm treatment and she loved them. Kept her calm and entertained. They were well worth the price for me and will continue to use them for future fosters too!

Things we're not...
We're not a daycare or a kennel, we're just a big pack of strong dogs that like to chew!
This was my first time ordering the Box of 10 "Cosmetic Seconds" and I couldn't be happier. Cosmetic seconds? Little blips on perfection? Who cares! We don't. They were safe, appropriate chews for this pack, and available at a great value. We're all in.

The slower feeder bowl !!
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!!!

Really Helpful!
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.
