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 Duckies eMat brings playful bath time nostalgia to your dog's enrichment routine while solving a very real behavioral challenge: grooming anxiety. The suction cups lock firmly onto any smooth surface — tile walls, tub interiors, glass shower doors — creating a hands-free enrichment station that keeps your dog focused and calm throughout bath time, nail trims, and veterinary exams. The rubber duck surface pattern creates excellent texture for peanut butter and other spreads. Made in the USA from non-toxic, FDA-compliant TPE — dishwasher safe and freezer safe.
