Feedoo Stainless Steel Lick Mat Review

Intro

I’m The Pet Dude — a pet parent who tests gear against everyday chaos: eager puppies, a whisker-sensitive cat, and a dog who treats every soft toy like a chew contest. Feedoo’s Double Wall Stainless Steel Lick Mat landed on my counter because the listing promises a chew-proof alternative to the fragile silicone mats we’ve all tossed in the trash. This review walks through what you actually get in the box, how it behaves during real use, and whether it’s worth trading your silicone mats for metal.

What it is / first look

At a glance this is a lick mat and slow feeder made from stainless steel. The listing identifies the material as stainless steel (specifically the about copy calls it double-layer 304 (18/8) stainless steel) and the product is sold as a 2-count pack in the Small-2Pack SKU I tested. Dimensions on the product page are 8.27 x 8.27 x 0.59 inches and the item weight is listed as 0.75 kg (the product also lists 1.65 pounds in one spot, which is the same number expressed differently). The box includes two lick mats in that small configuration; other SKUs on the listing show Large-1Pack, Large-2Pack, and Small-1Pack as alternative purchases.

My initial impression out of the box: it’s heavier and glossier than any silicone lick mat I’ve handled. The listing also calls out four non-slip rubber grip feet and a weighted base intended to keep it from sliding. The textured surface is described as 5mm raised ridges (grooved design) to hold soft foods and encourage licking.

In daily use

I used the mat in short sessions for enrichment and slow-feeding scenarios described on the listing: peanut butter, yogurt, canned/wet food, and pureed vegetables. The product copy specifically suggests freezing treats for extended activity; owners are advised to spread soft, sticky foods into the grooves and freeze the mat for longer play.

Puppies & aggressive chewers

The listing positions this as the chew-proof replacement for silicone lick mats, and that’s where it stands out. The stainless steel construction is marketed as heavy-duty and chew-proof for aggressive chewers and puppy dogs. In practice the mat’s weight and metal construction mean a puppy can’t rip chunks off the surface the way they can with silicone or rubber mats. The listing includes a 1-year warranty and calls the design durable and hefty.

Cats & whisker-sensitive pets

Feedoo’s copy stresses a whisker-friendly, wide, shallow surface intended to prevent whisker fatigue. The listing explicitly targets cats (Target Species: Cat) and lists Breed Recommendation: All Breed Sizes and Age Range Description: All Life Stages, so it’s sold for both cats and dogs, and for pets of varying ages. If your cat is picky about deep bowls or hates whisker contact, the wide and shallow metal surface is what the listing highlights as the thoughtful design choice.

Freezing, recipes, and uses

The listing suggests sticky, soft bases: peanut butter, yogurt, wet dog food, pureed pumpkin, blueberries, and even bone broth as ways to fill the mat. It also recommends freezing the filled mat to extend the licking time and make it a calming distraction during grooming, prep, or thunderstorms. Placement tips in the listing include putting the mat in a familiar spot and, if your pet is wary, dabbing a bit of the treat on their nose to spark curiosity.

Cleaning and kitchen life

Cleaning is straightforward according to the listing: it says the stainless surface is non-porous, naturally stain resistant, and 100% dishwasher safe. The seamless polished design is called out as preventing food buildup. That dishwasher-safe claim is a major convenience upgrade over sticky, odor-retaining silicone mats.

Materials & build quality

The listing repeatedly calls out a double-wall stainless steel construction and specifically names 304 (18/8) stainless steel. Those are the only material claims listed. The product’s features include a polished, seamless design, 5mm raised ridges for licking, and four rubber non-slip feet on the bottom.

One noteworthy listing inconsistency: most places on the product page list the item weight as 0.75 kg / 1.65 lb, but a bullet feature also mentions “weighing 320g” as the weighted base. The listing does not reconcile that difference. If weight matters to you (travel, crate use, or fitting into certain holders), rely on the explicit item dimensions and the 0.75 kg / 1.65 lb figure listed in the specifications; the 320g mention appears to be an outlier within the listing copy.

From a build standpoint the mat is described as double-layer stainless steel with a seamless polish, which should resist staining and hold up to dishwasher cycles. The non-slip rubber feet are integrated into the design rather than relying on suction cups, and the listing emphasizes that this prevents the slipping you commonly get with silicone mats that use suction anchors.

Safety considerations

Pet safety is the top priority whenever I recommend a feeder or enrichment tool. On that front Feedoo’s listing books several safety-oriented claims:

• Chew-proof design: The listing says the stainless steel construction is chew-proof and intended to prevent the chewing mishaps common with silicone mats.
• Whisker-friendly profile: The wide, shallow surface is described as preventing whisker fatigue for cats and accommodating small to large breeds.
• Non-slip base: Four rubber grip feet and a weighted design are intended to keep the mat from sliding while your pet licks.
• Edge safety: One owner note in the product research explicitly said “There’s nothing that could cut their tongue,” which aligns with the listing’s polished, seamless design claim.

Two small safety caveats come straight from the listing and owner feedback themes:

• The listing positions the mat for wet or soft foods like peanut butter and yogurt; if you feed hard treats or items that could break into chunks, the listing doesn’t specify whether those should be used. The product copy encourages using soft or pureed foods. If you plan to put small solid treats in the grooves, supervise especially with smaller pets — the listing’s recommended uses focus on sticky, spreadable options.
• Some internal feedback themes raise a question about the durability of the rubber pads over many wash cycles. The listing makes the non-slip feet a feature, but does not specify how they perform after repeated dishwasher use. The listing does state the mat is dishwasher safe, but it doesn't quantify the lifespan of the rubber feet under heavy washing and scrubbing.

Finally, the listing includes a 1-year warranty; that provides a degree of protection if manufacturing defects appear during normal use, but the listing does not state what the warranty covers in specific detail.

Who this is for / who should skip

I break this down by pet type and use-case so you can see if the Feedoo mat matches your household.

Best fit: Puppy households with chewers

If you’ve had silicone lick mats torn to shreds — or a puppy who swallows bits of rubber — the listing positions this stainless mat as a solution. The copy calls the mat suitable for aggressive chewers and puppies, and the double-wall stainless construction is the listing’s main selling point for durability and safety. The weighted base and rubber feet are intended to keep it in place in crates or on floors.

Great for anxious dogs and cats who like licking

The listing highlights the mat as anxiety and stress relief: the raised texture promotes licking, and the act of licking is described as calming by releasing endorphins and serotonin. Use cases listed include grooming, nail trimming, and thunderstorms. If you need a calm-down tool you can prepare in advance and even freeze, this product is explicitly marketed for that role.

Good for cats and whisker-sensitive pets

Cats are called out as a target species and the listing describes the surface as whisker-friendly. The wide, shallow design is intended for whisker comfort, and Age Range Description: All Life Stages confirms it’s sold for kittens through seniors.

Who should skip

• If you rely on very deep, textured silicone patterns because your pet loves digging out hidden kibble pockets, the listing’s shallow 5mm ridges might not provide the same multi-minute engagement — a mixed note in the internal feedback mentioned some pets lick the mat clean quickly.
• If you want a collapsible or travel-friendly mat that rolls up into a bag, the stainless steel construction is not portable in the same way as silicone. The listing doesn’t position it as a travel mat.
• Owners who need documented, long-term durability of the rubber feet under dishwashing cycles should note the listing doesn’t provide a lifespan for those parts. The mat is dishwasher safe, but the long-term behavior of the non-slip feet is a listing blind spot.

Verdict

Feedoo’s Double Wall Stainless Steel Lick Mat is a considered, practical answer to a clear problem: silicone lick mats that get chewed up and swallowed. The listing repeatedly emphasizes stainless 304 double-wall construction, dishwasher-safe materials, a whisker-friendly profile, and a weighted non-slip base. The included 1-year warranty is another positive signal on paper.

Where it shines: chew resistance, sanitary stainless surface, and easy cleaning. Where questions remain: minor listing inconsistencies on weight (0.75 kg / 1.65 lb versus a 320g reference in one bullet), and the listing does not quantify long-term wear on the rubber feet through repeated dishwasher cycles. A couple of owners in the research themes also noted a short introduction phase for hesitant pets — the listing addresses that by suggesting dab-on introduction techniques.

Check before you buy

• Confirm the SKU: the listing offers Small-2Pack (this review SKU), Small-1Pack, Large-1Pack, and Large-2Pack — pick the pack/size you need.
• Note the item dimensions (8.27 x 8.27 x 0.59 inches) and weight listed (0.75 kg / 1.65 lb) so it fits your crate or feeding station.
• Use only soft, sticky fillings the listing recommends (peanut butter, yogurt, wet food, purees) and supervise solid treats not mentioned in the listing.
• If you plan to load and freeze the mat, the listing recommends freezing for longer engagement; make sure your freezer space fits the product dimensions.
• Check the 1-year warranty terms if you have concerns about manufacturing defects; the listing states a 1-year warranty but does not list coverage specifics.

All told, the listing positions this as a premium, durable option for owners who need a chew-proof, dishwasher-safe lick mat for puppies, anxious dogs, and whisker-sensitive cats. The stainless construction, integrated non-slip feet, and explicit dishwasher-safe claim are the big differentiators against silicone alternatives.

Colors and pack options I saw on the listing

• Small-2Pack
• Large-1Pack
• Large-2Pack
• Small-1Pack

Those are the way the listing presents size and pack variants; if you prefer a single large mat or a double small pack, the listing shows both options.

Final thoughts

If you’re tired of replacing chewed silicone mats and want something more sanitary and heavy-duty, Feedoo’s stainless steel lick mat (double-wall 304 stainless per the listing) is explicitly built for that problem. The design, dishwasher-safe claim, and the 1-year warranty line up to make it worth considering if you have teething puppies or aggressive chewers. If you want a softer or deeper-textured mat for extended licking sessions, the listing’s shallow ridge profile and some owner feedback suggesting quick licking for certain pets mean you might still prefer a silicone option for long, slow puzzles. For safety, the listing points to a polished, seamless metal surface with no tongue-cutting edges and non-slip feet — the main outstanding question from the listing is long-term wear of those rubber feet under heavy dishwasher use.

As always: if your pet has allergies, digestive issues, or specific dietary restrictions, consult a professional before changing feeding routines or using new enrichment foods.
