A snuffle mat for dogs is a creative product tailored to increase your dog’s brain activity when they search for their food and treats. The mat is designed in a way to hide tiny dry foods that requires effort to locate thereby, increasing mental stimulation. Also this, in turn, increases the feeding time and leads to more physical activity.
To use it, loosely scatter a few treats on the snuffle mat and let your dog sniff through it to find their food. You can guide the dog to search for it by commanding, but after 3 or 4 sessions they should be able to search for the food on the snuffle mat calmly.

There are a huge number of high-quality snuffle mats on the market, but we have highlighted the best ones. Join us in our search for the best snuffle mat for dogs.
