Exactly what is a dog snuffle mat?
To keep dogs interested and cognitively stimulated, snuffle mats are a type of enrichment or "work to eat" toy. You may give your dog hours of entertainment by concealing goodies in the various compartments of the mat. They may be found in a wide array of sizes, forms, and hues. StoreForTheDogs.com, as well as our physical location in Manhattan, both have a comprehensive selection of them.

Where do snuffle mats come in?
A common question we get from customers is "how does a snuffle mat work?" We tell them flat out, "It doesn't work!" The dog is the one who pulls the cart. Basically, a snuffle mat is a "nose work" toy that challenges your dog to use his or her nose, mouth, and mind to sniff for hidden treats. Snuffle mats can be used with any dry meal or treat (or even slightly moist treats, like shredded cheese, as snuffle mats can be put into the washing machines). A quick update: It's in a dog's nature to be productive. In some cases, we do more harm than good by concentrating all of a dog's food into a single bowl. Dogs can be creative if you don't give them a task, like dismantling your couch. Instead, give them a mat to search for treasure in.
Snuffle mats may be used at mealtime, in the car, or while dining al fresco to ensure your dog has a comfortable place to eat. It's not uncommon for them to collapse effortlessly (we particularly like traveling with the Buster Activity Mat, as it comes with its own cute carrying case and had detachable pieces that can be configured in an infinite number of ways).

Does anyone know if snuffle mats are risk free?
Although snuffle mats made of fleece are perfectly safe for puppies and older dogs alike, you may want to stick with more durable options like the Wooly by Paw5 if your dog has a propensity to tear things apart.

DIY Snuffle Mat?
Costing as much as a dog toy Make your own snuffle mat if you like! T-shirts may be torn into strips and any plastic with holes can be used. A shower caddy, rubber flooring, and a sink liner will suffice. The strips can be tied in knots after being threaded through the openings. (Note: additional monitoring is needed if your dog is playing with a handmade snuffle mat, since the materials are not meant for dogs and your dog might accidentally ingest a piece of rubber or plastic).
