Snuffle Round Treat Mat

Did you know that, given the choice between provided food or food that requires effort to obtain, dogs prefer to work for it! Snuffle mats tap into their natural canine urges to forage and hunt for their food it is a rewarding and mentally enriching way to eat.

Furkidz Discovery Mats Round Treat Snuffle Mat For Dogs Is Just Like A Treasure Hunt And Provides Long Lasting Entertainment.

Giving your dog an outlet for these natural canine behaviours is an excellent form of mental exercise, which makes dogs (and humans!) feel more physically tired than physical effort alone! Fifteen minutes of sniffing is as tiring as an hour long walk!

Try feeding a portion of your dogs meals in a snuffle mat a few times a week, and watch how excited they get whenever their snuffle mat gets brought out.

Using a snuffle mat allows your dog to decode whats in front of them with their nose, which can:

• Alleviate stress
• Provide mental stimulation
• Encourage slower eating habits
• Initiate sniffing and foraging centres of the brain, which are pleasurable for the dog
• Create mental stimulation for dogs on restricted exercise
• Help calm an overstimulated pup

Play it safe: No toy is indestructible. Do not leave toys with unsupervised pets. Remove and replace if damaged. If your dog can quickly and easily damage a toy, then the toy is not suited to your dogs play style and a different toy should be provided.
