Sniffing Mat Flower - Dog Activity Toy

Snuffle Mat Flower - Activation and Stimulation for Dogs of All Ages

The beautiful snuffle flower made of sturdy felt fabric is perfect for activating and mentally stimulating your dog, regardless of age. With the snuffle flower, you get a smart 2-in-1 product. You can choose to use the snuffle mat fully unfolded, or you can pull it together with the drawstring and use it as a bowl, where it becomes a little harder for your dog to find its reward.

Snuffle mats/rugs are very popular among dog owners, and there are several good reasons for this

1. Mental Stimulation: The snuffle mat provides the dog with a good mental challenge, as it must use its sense of smell and brain to sniff out its reward or food hidden in the snuffle mat. This can help keep the dog occupied and prevent boredom.
2. Calming Effect: All activities involving sniffing have a calming effect on most dogs. When the dog spends time sniffing and searching for food/treats, it helps reduce stress and anxiety in some dogs.
3. Engagement in Natural Behavior: Sniffing activities mimic dogs' natural behavior, as in nature, dogs use their noses to explore and search for food. The snuffle mat allows the dog to engage in this behavior at home.
4. Pastime: The snuffle mat is a great way to keep your dog busy and entertained throughout the day, especially when you need to perform tasks where the dog needs to be kept occupied.
5. Training and Reward: The snuffle mat can also be used as a reward tool in your training. Once the dog has completed the task/exercise, the reward can be to be sent to the snuffle mat to find its reward.

You have plenty of opportunities to hide your dog's food or treats in one of the flower's many hiding places. With the snuffle mat, your dog can use its natural sniffing instinct as it sniffs out its food or treats.

Who can benefit from the snuffle flower?

• Dogs that gulp down their food
• Dogs that are stressed
• Dogs that are bored
• Puppies that need to be activated
• Dogs where you need to shift their focus - for example, if you are training calmness when guests arrive

The snuffle mat is suitable for dogs of all sizes and ages. It can be used both indoors and outdoors.

Product info

I recommend that you always supervise your dog when it uses a snuffle mat/rug. Some dogs love to chew on and destroy things, especially puppies. I NEVER let my dogs use snuffle mats/rugs when they are home alone. I know that many stores write in their descriptions that snuffle rugs can activate your dog when it is alone. But all toys can be destroyed, and the dog can swallow parts.
