PawzNDogz – Challenger Bone Snuffle Mat – Challenge Level 4

The PawzNDogz Bone Snuffle Mat is the perfect choice for a fun and tiring, extensive sniffing adventure that will keep your pooch entertained for hours.

WHAT IS A SNUFFLE MAT?

A snuffle mat is a puzzle toy/activity that helps to stimulate your pet’s brain by using their sniffing skills to hunt for treats or food within the mat. These mats are great for mental stimulation and cognitive ability building and are based on the concept of olfactory canine enrichment. ​It’s natural for them to search and hunt.

PawzNDogz various designs of Snuffle Mats will keep your fur baby’s brain active and stimulated! Hide some dry food or treats in the folds of the snuffle mat and watch your dog hunt for them by using their “sniffing skills” to locate the tasty stuff. The soft yet durable machine-washable snuffle mats have multiple level of challenges embedded in the designs to tire your pup or dog by burning their energy via sniffing. These snuffle mats not only are energy burners and boredom-killers, but also function as slow feeding toys to prevent your dog from gulping down food so fast. The slow feeding process reduces the speed of eating by 5 – 10 times.

Pet experts say 10 minutes of snuffling is equivalent to 1 hour of physical exercise.

Size:  Width 65 cm (unfolded) x 46 cm length. 25.6 inches x 18 inches.
