Snuffle mat 60X40 cm

Usually in play with our dog we are tugging, pulling, running or doing other physical activities. The snuffle mat is primarily used for sensory stimulation, or training our pet's mind.  The magic is in the use of the dog's wet nose, which we know is his huge tool. Sniffing in dogs is the most natural activity. Balls or olfactory mats will help your dog develop this sense even better. The satisfaction of watching your pet work independently is immense. Mental and olfactory play is a type of play that is highly recommended by specialists and has gained a lot of popularity with dog and cat guardians. Olfactory play works well for anxious and hyperactive dogs. For pets with disabilities, the olfactory mat is one of the few ways to spend time together with his human.

Olfactory mat for a dog - what is it?
The olfactory mat is sewn and made of the highest quality materials. The base is solid and has no holes, so treats do not fall out on the floor. In addition, we used a non-slip material on the underside. The strips of fleece material are sewn with strong calico threads, which makes the mat very durable and suitable even for large dogs. You can roll it up, and thanks to the handles you can easily take it with you.
The main thing about this inconspicuous toy is that it hides something tasty from the dog but, by using the sense of smell, easy to find. The dog smells the treat but can't see it, so it has to focus on its nose and discover its snack that way. As you can see, the idea is simple, but this is where the charm of this solution lies. A game or activity doesn't have to be complicated at all to be rewarding for your dog. And if your pet gets tired, it's the perfect soft place to rest.

The mat is available in size:
- 60 x 40 cm - total size with tassels
dedicated for small dogs and cats

How will olfactory toys help?

- If your pet eats too fast
This behavior is not safe, as in extreme cases it can lead to stomach torsion. The olfactory mat can be used as a "bowl" for food - the dog can't see the food, so it has to find it through smell. This calms the dog during the meal and causes the speed of eating to decrease.
- If the dog does not want to eat
Some dogs, are huge non eaters, and this is a great way to get the food he doesn't want to eat from the bowl.
- If he is hyperactive
When your pet, even after the longest walk and playing with a tug, has energy reserves. We are sure that a sniffing mat will be a good solution. Don't have time to teach your pet to track, or the weather is unsuitable? You can use the sniffing mat regardless of the prevailing weather conditions.
