This year, CCL contributing writer Amy Higgins is indebted to Longmont-based SodaPup. SodaPup’s lick mat keeps her dachshund Charlie engaged when anxious and antsy, such as during a lengthy road trip or when hired contractors create a cacophony of chaotic hammering. Higgins simply smothers the lick mat with dog-safe foodstuff and Charlie becomes more settled and satisfied. Try the lick mat and more durable, dog-friendly merchandise at sodapup.com.
