Snuffle mats for dogs

For your dog, 15 minutes of mental stimulation can burn as much energy as an hour of walking, according to the Pet Parenting Blog.

“A snuffle mat can be considered a puzzle dog bowl that hides dry food, making it more challenging for your dogs to eat, while encouraging them to practice their innate foraging skills.” The snuffle mat serves as a slow feeder or enrichment toy, in which dogs manipulate the mat’s pieces to gain access to their food. You can use snuffle mats to help make your dog eat more slowly and to prevent the dangers of your dog eating too fast.”

In addition to being a great enrichment tool for your dog, snuffle mats are also practical. You can provide your dog with endless hours of entertainment while they snuffle for their food on these treat-seeking mats.
