Category Lick Mats
Best For Great for dogs new to lick mats, mild chewers, and anxious dogs that prefer a softer, less challenging texture.

The Classic Soother uses soft, fine-tufted texture to create a gentle licking experience that works especially well with peanut butter, yogurt, and other spreadable treats. Made from food-safe BPA-free TPR, it is freezer- and dishwasher-safe and is commonly used to calm dogs during stressful moments or introduce new pets to lick-mat enrichment.

West Paw Zogoflex Toppl Treat Dispensing Dog Chew Toy

by West Paw

Price $25-$30
Rating ★★★★★ 4.5/5 (448 reviews)
Category Puzzle Toys
Best For Ideal for food-motivated dogs who enjoy licking and foraging and are moderate chewers rather than extreme power chewers.

The Toppl is a treat-dispensing puzzle bowl made from soft yet durable Zogoflex material. Dogs work to lick, nudge, paw, or twist out wet food, kibble, or treats held in place by interior teeth, and the toy can also be frozen to extend playtime. Its open bowl shape makes it easy to fill and clean, and interlocking size combinations can increase the challenge.
