Tamariki Wufsalad Snuffle Mat for Dogs, Adjustable Difficulty Level

A snuffle mat that turns mealtime into work. Treats are hidden between layers of fabric, and the dog uses its sense of smell to find them – the same meal lasts significantly longer instead of just minutes.

Two uses

• Slow feeder bowl: a gulpy dog eats more calmly, which aids digestion
• Brain work: scent work tires a dog more effectively than running

Why nose work works

A dog's sense of smell is its most important sense, and using it consumes a lot of energy. Fifteen minutes with a snuffle mat is equivalent to a much longer walk for many dogs – this is especially beneficial during the dark season and rainy weather when outdoor activities are shorter.

Difficulty level is adjustable

The mat opens wider, creating more hiding spots. Start with an easy setting and increase the difficulty as the dog learns – too difficult a start frustrates the dog and makes it give up.

• Designed in England
• Functions as a slow feeder bowl and an enrichment toy

Tip: use the dog's normal daily food portion, not extra treats. This way, the activity won't lead to weight gain.
