Dog Snuffle-Mat Slow-Feeder-Bowl - Simulating Grassland for Boredom, Encourages Natural Foraging Skills for Pet, Treat Indoor Outdoor Stress Relief（Blue）

This is a great starter snuffle mat for dogs or cats. If your pet has never used a snuffle mat before this is a good, sturdy, affordable way to find out if they will actually use it. The size is good for any size dog and even for cats. It’s a fun activity for pets and a great way to keep those little busy bodies who are food motivated nice and occupied while you’re on an important call or just want to take a shower without your furry weirdos staring at you through the shower curtain.It is a bit stiff when you first get it but washing and use will take care of that. It has a strong drawstring with toggle closure that works well to keep kibble and treats inside when you need to pick the mat up and move it or take it with you in the car.BE SURE to flip this upside down and shake out every last bit of kibble and treats before you wash this. Seriously. You definitely don’t want your washer and dryer or your clothes to smell like dog food.When your pet is done snuffling for treats pick this up and put it away so that it doesn’t get chewed up. It is quite durable but it is still just made out of fabric and could be shredded by a determined power chewer.Very useful product if you are just starting out with “ditching the bowl”.When first starting out use some stinky, high value treats to get your pet really into trying to search for those yummy bits. Try placing them more toward the top at first just to get your pet used to having to look for the food and used to the feel of the pieces of fabric touching their face.

I’m so glad my daughter in law recommended this product. My 14 week old mini labradoodle loves it and makes it fun to eat because he’s not that food motivated so it makes a big difference and he eats very well with his new snuffle mat not to mention it’s fun to watch him eat

The media could not be loaded. This is my first experience with a snuffle mat and I'm very pleased. With our previous German Shepherds, I deemed them too simple, not understanding the real goal. We've had this for a couple months now and our almost 1 year old dog loves it! She is super-smart, with an anxious nature, and this works well to help calm her and keep her focused for a time. It takes a little bit (a few minutes) for me to get this set up in such a way that it's more "challenging" for her, but I can't imagine that being any different for other types of the same product.A surprising win on my part!

My Shiba loves puzzle toys and I thought this would be good for wearing him out a little bit. He loves it!!! I like to sprinkle kibble and a few little treats or shredded cheese and he usually gets at least 20 min of “foraging time” out of it. Even my other shiba who doesn’t care much about toys will play with it! It’s held up to a few machine washings so far and seems durable enough for the price.

My new puppy loves this thing. The only problem is it is already falling apart because of her eagerness. We tried to use it for feeding her but it should really only be for treats if your dog is bigger and eager like mine.

This is the second snuffle mat I bought for my dog. The first was softer felt and the blue tabs were single ply. It worked pretty well, but was difficult to get the food to fall between the tabs. Also, even after repeated washings, it held onto a foul smell after a few weeks. This one feels like it’s cheaper. The felt seems almost papery and stiff. But the double loops and that stiffness in the fabric make it much easier to fill the mat with food, it washes wonderfully and doesn’t stink. In short, I would buy it again.

The material feels like paper. If you’re looking for one that’s made of cotton, which provide for superior hiding grooves and longer sniff time, look elsewhere. You get what you pay for

Just putting regular dog food into this gadget entertains and feeds our two dogs like special treats. They love the seek-and-find nature of this, where they can look in the various hiding places and pick out food. Many times we put dry dog food out for our two dogs and they turn their nose up and walk away. With this Snuffle Mat, it becomes a game...like getting "treats" even though it's the same food that is in their bowl 5' away.Interesting concept - and fun for the pups. We (and they) enjoy it.
