What is a Snuffle Mat?

 

It’s like a game of hide-and-seek for your dog, only better!

​

The ASPCA suggests that food games, like a snuffle mat, play a vital role in keeping your pup mentally healthy.

​

Because sniffing out food is a low-impact game, dogs of all ages can join in the fun. Older pups who are losing their eyesight still have a keen sense of smell. They might not be able to chase a ball but will enthusiastically dig through a snuffle mat.

​

Some dog owners even use a snuffle mat as an alternative to a simple puzzle toy to keep their pup entertained.

​

Snuffle mats should only be used under supervision. Once mealtime is over, pack away the snuffle mat to keep your dog from using it as a chew toy.
