 As an enrichment toy Snuffle Mats are a great. Furthermore they are the perfect way to:

• encourage your pet's foraging instincts

 In addition it can ahelp them to desensitise to household noises and activities. For example hoovering and the washing machine.

 Dinner-Time Enrichment

10 Minutes snuffling is equivalent to a much longer walk! Your dogs kibble can be fed from the snuffle mat. You will find this is fantastic for dinner-time enrichment.

A clever dog may shake the Snuffle Mat. You may find they turn it over so the treats fall out.

If this is the case make foraging easy by placing ten highly scented treats on top of the mat, Following this sit with your dog and place your foot on the mat if necessary. This will prevent it being shaken.

Once he has mastered foraging, increase the difficulty by reducing the treat size and burying them deeper.
