Some enrichment tools are functional. The SodaPup Love eMat is both.
The Love eMat is a heart-themed lick mat for dogs and cats that celebrates the bond between pets and their people — while delivering real, science-backed calming benefits. Sustained licking triggers the release of endorphins and serotonin, producing a natural calming effect recommended by veterinarians and certified dog trainers for separation anxiety, crate training, grooming stress, and boredom relief. The heart-pattern texture holds spreads and wet food beautifully, encouraging the slow, sustained licking that keeps dogs calm and focused. Made in the USA from FDA-compliant, BPA-free, PVC-free TPE. Available in Large and Small.

Why Lick Mats Work:
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 Love eMat’s heart-pattern surface holds food in place while encouraging the slow, focused licking that delivers these benefits — freeze it overnight for a longer session, or serve fresh for daily enrichment.
