SodaPup Peace eMat - Durable Enrichment Feeder Made in USA from Non-Toxic, Pet-Safe, Food Safe Rubber for Mental Stimulation, Av

We have a wide variety of Enrichment Feeders, including eMats (also known as Lick Mats), eTrays, eBowls, and eCoins.These Enrichment Feeders come with different levels of difficulty and a wide variety of fun and interesting pattern designs that do a great job of retaining the treats. Patterns that are shallower and have greater spacing make it easier for dogs to lick the food out. Patterns that are deeper, more complex, and have tighter spacing present more difficulty.Our Enrichment Feeders are heavier and sturdier than others on the market. We made them this way, so they stay in place and dont move around too much, frustrating your dogs licking efforts. This also makes them easier to handle and manage, especially when putting them in the freezer. Like all SodaPup toys, Enrichment Feeders are made in USA from the safest proprietary materials that are non-toxic, pet-safe, food-safe, and top rack dishwasher safe.Many types of foods can be used with our Enrichment Feeders. Peanut butter or plain yogurt are obvious choices. Mashed up or pureed fruits or vegetables are also great. Even ground meat and fish works.Once you spread the food into the Enrichment Feeders, you can consider freezing them.Enrichment feeders offer a myriad of benefits for dogs. Not only are they a great way to give your dog treats without over-feeding, as your dog works to lick the goodies out of all the nooks and crannies of our Enrichment Feeders, their mind and foraging instincts get stimulated. This activity is mentally enriching and keeps them busy & entertained, delivering lots of entertainment without a lot of calories. Furthermore, licking provides a calming effect that is soothing to dogs and can also be helpful in distracting them from stressful situations, such as thunderstorms, fireworks, and even grooming or bathing time. The repetitive licking also stimulates saliva, which aids digestive health and promotes healthy teeth & gums and fresh breath.
