With a 4.8-star rating, pet parents love the flexibility.

Your favorite beach drink just got dog-ified.

Ever,” as one person wrote. “It gets the sand from between their pads, and is gentle enough that even my most stubborn pup tolerates it!”

Simply put a serving of a healthy, spreadable snack like yogurt or dog-safe peanut butter on the mat, and let your dog lick away.
