Lick Mat
SodaPup’s new lick mat, Tree of Life eMat, is made with suction cups on the back to stick to the ground to keep the mat in place. The difficulty is moderate, and the mat is 8 inches in diameter and made with a synthetic rubber material. Lick mats give pets mental stimulation and licking can be soothing if they are bored or stressed.
