A handmade base is 30x30cm, top aprox. 40x40cm sniffing mat which is perfect for all breeds/sizes/ages the mats are made using a heavy hard-wearing rubber base with a high-quality soft polar fleece fabric.
The snuffle mat can be used for a variety of reasons a few of these being:-
- Ideal for using as a slow feeder (if diet is kibble) to slow them fast eaters down
- Helps promote mobility issues
- Relaxes and distracts your dog
- Reduces stress and anxiety
The sniffing mats are machine washable which we always advise to place the mat within a pillow case and a few more towels within the washer so it isn’t banging around the washing machine and on a 30°C low spin wash using no wash powder/liquid or fabric softener as this will deter the smell of treats, and leave to air dry
We also advise to pick the snuiffing mat up and place away once all treats/kibble have gone so that your pet doesn’t associate the mat as being a toy and either damage them or become bored easily.
SafetyDue to the natural chewing and investigative behaviour of dogs, we don’t advise unsupervised use for safety reasons.We recommend your dog is supervised at all times whilst using their sniffing activity toy, they are not chew toys. Whilst every care has been taken in manufacture, the sniffing range is not indestructible. Frustration may occur with some dogs, who may need assistance to learn how to extract food without damaging the mat or ball. Remove access once your dog has naturally finished.Our sniffing range is designed for organised enrichment. As with any activity, dogs may need training to take part safely and appropriately. Sniffing activities should be beneficial to the dog and owner/carer support may be needed to ensure the activity is a positive experience.Please provide fresh dinking water at all times.
