This premium lick mat features a beautiful tree of life design with powerful suction cups that keep it securely in place during use – perfect for anxious dogs, grooming sessions, bath time, or anytime your dog needs peaceful, focused enrichment.
Key Benefits

Reduces anxiety and stress – Licking releases endorphins that naturally calm and soothe dogs
Perfect for grooming and baths – Keeps dogs distracted and calm during nail trims, brushing, or bathing
Slows eating – Textured surface extends feeding time and prevents gulping
Mental stimulation – Intricate tree pattern challenges dogs and reduces boredom
Promotes dental health – Licking action helps clean tongue and stimulate saliva production

Easy to clean – Dishwasher safe for hassle-free maintenance
Premium USA-Made Quality
Crafted in the USA from FDA-compliant, food-safe TPE (thermoplastic elastomer). This durable, non-toxic material is BPA-free, PVC-free, and phthalate-free, making it safe for daily use. The flexible material is gentle on tongues while the strong suction cups provide secure attachment to smooth surfaces.

How to Use Your Tree of Life eMat
Spread a thin layer of your dog's favorite soft treat (peanut butter, yogurt, wet food, or purée) across the textured tree of life surface. Press the suction cups firmly against a clean, smooth surface like a bathtub wall, shower tile, kitchen floor, or window. The mat will stay securely in place while your dog licks and enjoys their treat. For extended enrichment, freeze the mat with spreads for a longer-lasting, cooling activity that promotes calm and focus.
Perfect For
Bath time and grooming sessions – Keeps dogs calm and distracted
Anxious or stressed dogs – Natural calming through licking
Nail trimming and vet visits – Provides positive distraction
Crate training – Calming activity for kennels or crates
Puppies – Gentle enrichment and teething relief
Senior dogs – Low-impact mental stimulation
Fast eaters – Slows consumption and extends mealtime
Bored dogs – Engaging activity that reduces destructive behavior
Meditation and mindfulness – Peaceful enrichment for calm environments
Why Suction Cups Matter
The built-in suction cups are a game-changer for lick mat users. Unlike flat mats that slide around or get flipped over, the Tree of Life eMat stays exactly where you place it. This is especially valuable during bath time when you need both hands free, or for anxious dogs who might try to pick up and carry the mat. The secure attachment ensures a frustration-free experience for both you and your dog.
Tree of Life Design Meaning
The tree of life is an ancient symbol representing growth, strength, connection, and harmony – qualities that resonate deeply with the human-dog bond. The intricate design features spreading branches and deep roots, creating varied textures and patterns that challenge dogs and promote thorough licking. The green color palette evokes nature and tranquility, while the detailed imagery adds visual beauty to your home. This isn't just a functional enrichment tool; it's a meaningful piece that celebrates the interconnectedness of all living things.
Intricate Texture Design
The tree of life pattern offers multiple textures and depths across the mat's surface. The branches, leaves, and roots create different licking challenges that keep dogs engaged longer than simple patterns. The varied texture promotes complete licking coverage, ensuring your dog gets maximum enrichment and calming benefits from every use. The design is deep enough to hold spreads securely but gentle enough for sensitive tongues.

Our 2 dogs love these honeypots so much more than kongs! They get discouraged by kongs and leave a good amount of food/treat behind but never with these honeypots! They ALWAYS lick them clean so I feel comfortable putting their meals in them and freezing them. I keep hearing that there is a risk for the dog’s tongue to get stuck inside by suction but the opening is pretty large so it seems unlikely to me. Regardless, I don’t let my dogs have them unless I am there to supervise.
Another great find! I was curious if this would be too deep for my 30lb dog, I shouldn't have given a thought - it's perfect! Glad to have new Soda Pup feeders in rotation!
My pups and I love Soda Pup! The products are thoughtfully designed, produced, and loved by my dogs! I appreciate the sustainable efforts, ability to buy seconds, and quick shipping! We have slow feeders, like mats, honey pots, glitter balls, and more!
Great value & highly recommend! Great product for my Aussie puppy who loves to chew and chase. 3 in a pack is great. I added a thin rope to 2 to make tug toys. Bonus! No squeak and a sustainable option!

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.

We have a boarding facility in Oregon where we also bring in foster dogs. These treat dispensers are perfect for dogs as well as for our workers. They freeze great, for the dogs that enjoy this type of thing it is easy to actually get in and eat their whole dinner. And EASY TO KEEP CLEAN. when you are dealing with a lot of dogs that last one is probably the most important. WE LOVE THESE

Cute and functional!
We got a new puppy and needed some things to work on training with her. This bundle has been awesome. She loves the bear and the treats that come from it. The slow feeder has helped slow her down so no more getting sick. And the lick stick one has helped motivate her to walk a little further and also working on learning heel. The lick mat had been a great way for me to enjoy morning coffee while pup gets a treat as well. I picked this bundle cause I named my pup Honey and all the honey theme things seamed to perfect not to try.

Love this pastel color and beautiful design. Purchased as a gift and have heard that it keeps the giftee occupied for a LONG time!
Hi there! We're so glad you love the color and design. It's wonderful to hear that the gift is keeping your furry friend entertained for a long time. Thanks for sharing your experience!

Hi Julie, we're thrilled to hear your dogs love the Honey Pot! Thanks for sharing your experience and for being a responsible pet parent. We appreciate your support!
And you are right! This product does not need a vent hole because the opening is so wide that a dog's tongue cannot create suction in the toy.
