Snuffle Mats

Snuffle mats are great for engaging your dog’s senses and providing mental stimulation.

Dogs love to use their sense of smell, and snuffle mats mimic natural foraging behaviours. By searching for hidden treats in the mat it challenges their brain, helps reduce boredom and keeps them mentally sharp. Sniffing is also calming for dogs, so can help reduce anxiety and stress. On rainy days snuffle mats are a great way to keep your dog entertained indoors. By successfully finding treats in the mat it can help build your dog’s confidence and independence, making it a rewarding and satisfying experience.

This affordable and versatile gift is a fun addition to your dog’s home enrichment routine.
