Pet Snuffle Mat for Dogs,Interactive Feed Puzzle for Boredom,Encourages Natural Foraging Skills for Cats Rabbits Dogs Bowl, Dog Treat Dispenser Indoor Outdoor Stress Relief,Travel Portable and Compact

This is a great starter snuffle mat for dogs or cats. If your pet has never used a snuffle mat before this is a good, sturdy, affordable way to find out if they will actually use it. The size is good for any size dog and even for cats. It’s a fun activity for pets and a great way to keep those little busy bodies who are food motivated nice and occupied while you’re on an important call or just want to take a shower without your furry weirdos staring at you through the shower curtain. It is a bit stiff when you first get it but washing and use will take care of that. It has a strong drawstring with toggle closure that works well to keep kibble and treats inside when you need to pick the mat up and move it or take it with you in the car. BE SURE to flip this upside down and shake out every last bit of kibble and treats before you wash this. Seriously. You definitely don’t want your washer and dryer or your clothes to smell like dog food. When your pet is done snuffling for treats pick this up and put it away so that it doesn’t get chewed up. It is quite durable but it is still just made out of fabric and could be shredded by a determined power chewer. Very useful product if you are just starting out with “ditching the bowl”. When first starting out use some stinky, high value treats to get your pet really into trying to search for those yummy bits. Try placing them more toward the top at first just to get your pet used to having to look for the food and used to the feel of the pieces of fabric touching their face.

Much better than I expected! My dog actually loves this and hasn't tried to shred it to pieces yet! I followed the directions and washed it first to help it fluff up. I just saturated it in warmish water and fluffed it around, then wrang it out and threw it in the dryer for a bit. We tried it the first time with a few small treats and then the second time we used a small handful of her food. It kept her busy for a long time! This is perfect!

Good product but would have liked if it took longer for my dogs to engage with.

Helps my cats not eat their treats too fast. It's easy to clean. It's super cute to watch my cats use their little noses to search round for snacks. It is holding up really well over the several months. It's easy to use just sprinkle some treats around and fluff up the loops and unleash the kitties.

I was worried my cats wouldn't like this much, but it's quickly become a favorite. We sprinkle kibble, catnip, or treats inside for them to "hunt" and they love it. It's also a great prop when playing with them, since we can make their wand toy attachments "hide" in the grass. Can't speak on the long-term durability, but it seems well made given the materials.

The first thing my puppy did was just turn it upside down to shake the treats out, then he started chewing on the felt loops. It slides easily on tile floors even with the rubbery bottom. This may be better for dogs that don't chew everything and are more calm and gentle. I hold it down now and my puppy sniffs for the treats. I remove it immediately after he gets the treats so he doesn't chew the felt loops. It seems to be made well and folds up for storage.

My long haired dachshund loves this feeding mat. I’ve been trying to teach her how to use her nose more and this is perfect for training that. Durability and color are both great. Super easy to use and clean

I bought this for my aunt's dog. He's very anxious and, I think, bored. He enjoys searching for his little pellets. I don't think this would work if you have more than 1 dog, though.

My dog was initially hesitant, but now loves it. Even brings it to me when she wants a refill. Great as a slow eating device, and definitely keeps her entertained. I was worried about food getting stuck (and going bad/smelly) but so far doesn't seem to be an issue. It's always empty when I go to pack it up. I haven't had it long enough to comment on long-term durability, but it seems reasonably well made for what it is and the price.

My cat got tired of this very quickly. I thought he would be interested since he acts like a dog but just ended up using it as a bed instead lol.

My 4 month old Labradoodle pups have graduated from their first snuffle mats and needed something more challenging and tougher. Fabulous way to slow down eating while providing mental stimulus in finding their kibble. I don’t like the long draw strings and wouldn’t leave the house while still in use. A potential choking hazard? I always lift the mats and put them out of reach until the next meal. These never got “old” 😊

Bought this for our senior Rottweiler to keep him busy and stimulate his smelling skills. He loves it so much. Its a really great toy for dogs to keep busy and we use it to distract him while we leave. Unfortunately, our dog does love to tear things up as he sniffs for the treats so after almost a month, he has ripped probably 60-70% of it. He is a very gentle giant and doesn't bite anything otherwise so this came as a surprise to us as well. Just keep in mind that the green parts do come off if pulled hard enough by a dog and be cautious of the string when leaving the toy alone with a dog, just to be safe! Otherwise, it arrived quickly, does the job and is an incredible enrichment toy. Amazing product for the price

Massive jump up in quality from those cheap ones at Kmart. Dog has used it dozens of times and it is still in one piece. Another brand I tried well apart after first use so I'm quite happy with this one.
