We recommend considering the Earth eCoin for a supervised licking activity when a small, rigid disc fits your routine better than a flexible mat. Its two patterned faces give soft food places to sit, and the 5-inch diameter is easy to compare with your pet's feeding space. The hard nylon means it should not be treated as an unattended chew.
Why we like it
- Grooves on each face give owners two textured surfaces for a soft-food spread.
- The 5-inch diameter and firm nylon material are clearly stated.
- Care guidance is simple: rinse before the first use and use the top rack of the dishwasher.
Keep in mind
SodaPup describes the material as durable nylon and says the disc suits light chewing. The American Veterinary Dental College warns that hard objects, including hard-plastic toys, can fracture teeth. Nylon is not identical to every hard plastic, but the same caution is useful: supervise, stop forceful chewing, inspect for wear and ask your veterinarian about hard chew items if your pet has dental concerns.
Who it’s for
Dogs or cats who enjoy licking soft food from textured surfaces, with an owner available to supervise. SodaPup describes the eCoin for licking and light chewing; select it for the licking activity and your pet's behavior, not as a test of how much hard material they can chew.

A firm disc for licking, not a flexible suction mat
The eCoin is a 5-inch nylon disc with a sunflower pattern and grooves on both faces. SodaPup describes it for dogs and cats and suggests spreading soft food into the grooves. That makes the format easy to understand, though a small surface may hold less food than a full-size meal bowl.
Keep the first session simple
The brand's directions list soft foods such as yogurt, wet food or pureed treats and say the disc can be frozen for 2–4 hours. Choose a food that is suitable for your pet, account for treats in their usual feeding plan and supervise the session. The disc is small enough that the serving should be planned rather than treated as an extra meal by default.
Respect the hard nylon
A firm surface may be useful for licking, but it changes the safety decision if a pet starts biting down on it. SodaPup recommends supervision and replacing the eCoin when significantly worn. Veterinary dental guidance also cautions against hard chew objects; remove the disc if your pet focuses on forceful chewing, and ask your veterinarian if you are unsure about a hard item.
Our buying advice
Choose the eCoin for its compact size, two-sided grooves and top-rack care—not because a hard chew is automatically right for every dog or cat.

A few good questions
Is the Earth eCoin made from silicone?
No. SodaPup lists it as a nylon disc, not a silicone mat.
Can I put food on both sides?
Yes. SodaPup's instructions describe spreading food into the grooves on either face.
Is it suitable for a dog that chews forcefully?
SodaPup describes it for licking and light chewing and advises supervision. Because it is hard nylon, a forceful chewer may be a poor fit; remove it if the dog bites down on it and ask your veterinarian about safer chew textures.
How should I clean it?
SodaPup says it is top-rack dishwasher safe and should be rinsed before first use.
