What is a snuffle mat??

A snuffle mat is a puzzle feeder and enrichment toy for dogs and cats that encourages foraging and nose work by hiding treats or kibble within a mat of fabric strips, prompting the pet to "snuffle" and find the food.

Benefits:

Mental Stimulation: The act of searching for food engages a dog's natural foraging instincts and provides mental stimulation.

Slow Feeding: Snuffle mats can help slow down fast eaters by making it more challenging to consume their food.

Enrichment: They offer a fun and interactive activity that can help combat boredom and anxiety.

Calming Effect: The focused activity of snuffling can have a calming effect on anxious dogs.

Boosts Confidence: Making dogs work for their food can boost their confidence and happiness.
