Vivifying Dog Snuffle Mat – Interactive Enrichment Toy for Slow Eating, Mental Stimulation & Stress Relief (Green & Orange, 17x17 Inches)
This Vivifying Snuffle Mat (17 x 17 inches, green & orange) is a felt enrichment mat designed to slow your dog's eating and provide mental stimulation through foraging. It works with any dry treats or kibble and includes an adjustable drawstring to secure it to a chair leg. Note: not suitable for dogs that chew fabric.
How does the snuffle mat slow down eating?
The mat has multiple layers of fabric strips where you can hide food. Your dog uses its nose and paws to find and extract the treats, which mimics natural foraging and naturally extends mealtime. This can help prevent gulping and the discomfort that comes with eating too fast.

Common questions about the Vivifying Snuffle Mat
Can I put the mat in the washing machine?
Yes. You can hand wash or machine wash the mat. When you first receive it, machine washing once helps the fabric strips fluff up and look like the product image.
Does the mat come with treats?
No, the mat does not include treats. You add your own dry food or small treats to hide in the fabric strips.
How do I keep the mat from sliding?
The built-in adjustable drawstring lets you tie the mat to a chair leg, table leg, or other sturdy object to hold it in place while your dog forages.
Tips for using the snuffle mat
Start by placing a few visible treats on top so your dog understands the game. Gradually hide them deeper among the strips. Use the drawstring to secure the mat if your dog tends to drag it around. After each use, shake out crumbs and wash as needed. This interactive toy provides mental enrichment and can help reduce destructive behavior caused by boredom.
