A snuffle mat is a specialized mat designed to promote a dog’s natural foraging and sniffing instincts by encouraging them to search for food. The mat imitates the texture and feel of outdoor environments such as grass, providing a stimulating surface for dogs to engage with. By scattering treats and kibbles across the surface, the dog is encouraged to use their sense of smell to locate the food, engaging in a fun and interactive scent-based game. This activity not only provides mental stimulation and entertainment for dogs, but also encourages them to engage in their natural behaviors.
