Frisco Silicone Dog & Cat Lick Mat, Pink vs KONG Classic / KONG Extreme Natural Rubber Toy
Frisco Silicone Dog & Cat Lick Mat, Pink
by Frisco
This affordable BPA-free silicone lick mat uses suction grips on the bottom to help it stick to tubs, sinks, or smooth floor surfaces during licking sessions. Its simple ridged texture works well with wet or semi-moist treats, and the flexible design is top-rack dishwasher safe for easy cleanup after grooming, baths, or everyday enrichment.
KONG Classic / KONG Extreme Natural Rubber Toy
by KONG
The KONG Classic and KONG Extreme are iconic hollow natural rubber toys designed for chewing, bouncing, and treat stuffing. The snowman-shaped form creates an unpredictable bounce for fetch and play, while the hollow center can be filled with treats, paste, or meals for enrichment. The black Extreme version uses a tougher rubber formula intended for stronger chewers, while the line overall includes multiple sizes and formulas for different life stages. It remains a versatile staple for both solo enrichment and owner-led play.
