The SodaPup Whale eMat is one of the best suction cup lick mats for calming dogs during bath time and grooming — a USA-made, FDA-compliant TPE lick mat that adheres firmly to tile, glass, and smooth walls to reduce bath anxiety and grooming stress. Recommended by dog trainers and veterinarians for grooming desensitization, bath time anxiety, and separation anxiety.

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 Whale eMat brings ocean-inspired enrichment to your dog's daily routine. Its whale-themed surface pattern holds treats securely while the heavy-duty suction cups stick to virtually any smooth surface — bathtubs, tile walls, glass doors, kennels — for hands-free enrichment during baths, grooming, and vet visits. The whale design makes bath time visually fun for pet parents while its functional texture keeps dogs engaged for minutes at a stretch. Available in blue. Made in the USA from non-toxic, FDA-compliant TPE — dishwasher safe and freezer safe.
Not sure which eMat is right for your dog? Our complete Lick Mat Buyer's Guide covers how to choose the right size, texture, and features — including suction cups vs. flat mats — for your dog's specific needs.
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💜🐾

The lick mats are great
The lick mats are great. I added a few more to the collection my dog already has. All the designs work well except the puzzle pieces design. The design has too much to it. The peanut butter can’t be reached as easily as other designs and is wasted. They are also A LOT harder to clean. Even after soaking them overnight, I feel like I’m wasting a lot of water trying to get the food out of all the crevices.

My very nervous Standard Poodle loves the Flying Saucer
My very nervous Standard Poodle loves the Flying Saucer toy. I slip in a piece of freeze-dried liver and she'll chew on it for many minutes. Right now she has 4 of them and it is her nightly ritual to calm her down before she goes to bed.

Fun, easy to clean, and sturdy
Great product! These bowls supplied 15 minutes of enjoyment in what would normally be a 30 second period of inhaling a meal. Also fun for frozen treats on super hot days. No issues with 75 pound dogs trying to destroy the bowls. They are sturdy and easy to clean, too. Very happy with these enrichment feeders

Satisfying fun and meal time
This enrichment feeder stretched meal time from 15 seconds to 5 minutes of satisfying grazing. I enjoyed it as much as my dog. She is a 12 pound beagle and she got to move all around this bowl sniffing, investigating, sampling and losing herself in the enjoyment. Great product.
The lick mats are great. I added a few more to the collection my dog already has. All the designs work well except the puzzle pieces design. The design has too much to it. The peanut butter can’t be reached as easily as other designs and is wasted. They are also A LOT harder to clean. Even after soaking them overnight, I feel like I’m wasting a lot of water trying to get the food out of all the crevices.
I got such a great assortment of different lick mats, lick wands, puzzle feeders, and a treat cup! Nothing looks wrong with them or “off”. This is such a great deal! I utilized it as a starter kit of enrichment toys for my pup and donated the excess to a local dog shelter that has the resources to also do enrichment activities with the dogs awaiting adoption! Thanks SodaPup for having this cool deal! If you want to watch our unboxing video, my TikTok is @kve1014 to see all the goodies you can possibly get!

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!

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.
