Pet Snuffle Mat for Dogs, Interactive Feed Game for Boredom, Encourages Natural Foraging Skills for Cats Dogs Bowl Travel Use, Dog Treat Dispenser Indoor Outdoor Stress Relief

Provides great entertainment for a short amount of time.
I wanted a toy to keep my dog mentally active. I searched ‘interactive toys’ on amazon and came across the snuffle mats. I thought it looked like a fun idea so decided to purchase one. So far I have no regrets! My dog absolutely loves this mat. I do not leave the mat out since the material seems a little light and not very durable. My dog uses it under supervision so he doesn’t tear it to pieces. Also, there is a string attached, which could become a choking hazard, so although this toy provides entertainment for your dog, I would not leave them unsupervised. He is able to find all the treats hidden in about 7-10 min, so don’t expect your dog to be entertained for hours, unless you keep replenishing the treats. Once he is done I put the mat away and use it as a reward. He eagerly waits every single time I pull out the mat. I have not washed mine yet, but the stitching looks promising. If your dog is a heavy chewer, this might not work out. A strong chewer will definitely destroy this mat in a matter of minutes. I’m sure my dog would destroy this mat if left unsupervised. I definitely recommend buying this mat! Lastly I would purchase a color different from your home rugs/carpet since I read another review on another snuffle mat stating their dog ripped up their carpet looking for treats, lol.

It’s really cheap, but does the job
It’s more cheaply made than I would have liked, in retrospect should have bought one of the long carpets for a bit more money, but I bought (and washed) this one so it is mine now! Cats definitely enjoy it.

Good enrichment for cats too
First off, if i had gotten this for a dog i would have been very disappointed by the size. But then again maybe that’s why it’s cheaper than other similar products. The dimensions are listed I’m just very bad at estimating measurements and also imagining them. For a cat or a small dog though, it’s the perfect size.
I realize I’m not the target demographic here but when it comes to animal care and enrichment- if it benefits the animal, that’s all that matters. Scent is very important to dogs, obviously… and it’s also important to cats, which i think a lot of people forget. My cat likes to inhale her food and swallow it whole without chewing, which inevitably leads to it coming back up onto the carpet every time. So I use a rotation of puzzle feeders to slow her down and make her use her little walnut brain (as opposed to just using a slow feeder bowl). She’s very smart and actively prefers her puzzles over a regular bowl (she will literally reject a bowl of food and shows preferences for a couple puzzles over others). The problem is she’s gotten very good at all the puzzles to the point that even having them on a rotation to switch things up isn’t enough anymore.
She also unfortunately does not respond to catnip or catnip alternatives (we’ve tried them all just in case)- it’s not super common but it is a genetic thing. As a result, she doesn’t really get a lot of enrichment that utilizes scent so I thought why not see if she likes hunting down hidden food pieces. It’s been a pretty big hit. It is both easier and harder than the puzzles. Easier in the sense that she can get more than 1-2 pieces of food at a time but harder bc she has to really search for them. I currently switch between this and a food dispensing ball, to balance out the challenge throughout the week. She also likes to dig a bit so being able to dig through the fabric strips is something else she enjoys.
Once we’ve had a break from the puzzles for several months I’ll start re-introducing them on rotation again and alternate between current puzzle and this mat.
But the thing I like the most is I can just throw it into the wash as needed. There is no hand washing plastic nooks or worrying about food/crumbs getting stuck between pieces (some puzzles are just too weirdly shaped to fit into the dishwasher and others will not be able to be thoroughly washed by a dishwasher). She’s happy. I’m happy. 5 stars.

Dangerous treat based toy with plastic and metal springs
They put a plastic drawstring toggle with a spring on this toy which has no weight to it and is treat based so meant to have the dog rumage and bite things. My dog isn’t a huge chewer and I should have realized how bad of a design it was to have a plastic clasp like that on something I’m asking him to hunt around for chewy things, you wont even notice they have the plastic and not one of the treats unless you hear a crunch that sounds louder. Luckily mine doesn’t swallow plastic and the spring shot out and not down his throat. Even if that wasn’t a factor its just small bits of green fabric that clump together, there is no hiding treats and even if you did it doesn’t matter, they’d just pick it up or flip it over and all the treats would fall out because it weighs nothing. Its one thing to have a toy a pet doesn’t like or doesn’t work as intended but this one is actually dangerous. You can’t make a toy to encourage rumagining for treats then put loose plastic and metal springs on it. Hiding treats in a blanket actually works and is much safer.

Very simple easy to pack away toy I got for my 2 kittens. Hide some treats in the leaves and keeps them entertained for a good period of time and then once finished simply turn inside out and pull the toggle to pack away. Very good product.

J’ai un très petit chien et ce tapis lui conviens très bien. Lorsqu’il est sale, directement dans la laveuse. J’adore.
