Frisco Silicone Dog & Cat Lick Mat, Pink
by Frisco
Price $7.99
Rating ★★★★★ 4.6/5 (389 reviews)
Category Lick Mats
Best For Great for light to moderate use, especially bath or grooming situations where suction and a budget-friendly design matter.
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 Extreme
by KONG
Price $8.99-$26.99
Rating ★★★★★ 4.7/5 (1,800 reviews)
Category Kong-Style Toys
Best For Power chewers and dogs that have already destroyed standard red KONG toys.
KONG Extreme uses the brand’s black rubber formula, its toughest standard option for power chewers. It keeps the same hollow, stuffable design and unpredictable bounce as the Classic, allowing dogs to chew, chase, and work for treats or frozen fillings with longer-lasting durability.
