Steps

  1. Sprinkle kibble or small treats deep into the snuffle mat strips

  2. Place the mat on a non-slip surface

  3. Let the dog nose through the strips to find every piece

Tips

  • Feed an entire meal this way on slow days
  • Pick up the mat after use: some dogs will chew the fabric if left with it
  • A rubber-backed bath mat with strips of fleece tied through it works as a DIY version
