Freezer safe: Yes
Made in: USA
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 Flower Power eMat brings groovy, retro vibes to your dog's enrichment routine. Its flower-power design is more than decorative — the petal pattern creates natural ridges and pockets that hold spreads and soft foods in place for extended licking sessions. The small size is perfectly scaled for puppies, toy breeds, and cats, while the large version suits any breed. Available in pink, the Flower Power eMat is a cheerful addition to any enrichment kit. Made in the USA from non-toxic, FDA-compliant TPE — dishwasher safe, freezer safe, and built to last.
Not sure which lick mat is right for your dog? Our complete Lick Mat Buyer's Guide covers how to choose the right size, texture, and filling for your dog's breed, size, and enrichment goals.
The ONLY reason for 4 stars out of 5 is more an individual experience. The smaller areas are more challenging for my large/working breeds dog to access, which leaves a very small portion of filler food in the mat.
Not a huge deal; the mat is great and I continue to use it. Easy to fill/freeze and clean by hand with a brush.
I'd guess this mat design would be ideal for dogs with softer and smaller tongues and smaller teeth; maybe those of smaller and medium breed types. And for cats, cats would likely do well with the design of this mat.
I'm a huge fan of SodaPup products and company. Non-toxic, well priced, made in America, and veteran owned. Those parts definitely get 5 stars!

Best way to head off separation anxiety ever
I've heard from multiple sources that if you can keep a dog busy for 3-8 minutes after you leave, they tend not to get separation anxiety--and licking is already a self-soothing activity for dogs. Throw in a bit of peanut butter and you've got the perfect method to keep your dog happy till it's too late for them to get upset that you've gone.

So good!
Way better than the Licki Mat company! Super cute patterns and very durable.
Aw shucks! Thank you Lauren for your review. We love creating fun new patterns to keep your dogs challenged. Did you know that we also vary the degree of difficulty across our lick mat designs? Since dogs have varying food drive, we make easy mats, moderately difficult mats, and very difficult mats. You can choose the mat that most closely matches your dog's needs! We have lots of cool new designs coming soon :)

My dog loves these. We have 5 and keeps her occupied and settles her down when we need a calm exercise for her
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!
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.
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 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.
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!

Strong suction & perfect for older dogs
I got this suction cup lick mat holder to pair with the bones eMat and it works great. He tends to slide the mat around while licking, so this holder has been really helpful. The suction cups are strong and actually stay put. Plus, it's super easy to clean. Defientily worth it if your dog moves their lick mats all over the place.
