Slow down a fast eater and give your dog a satisfying job to do at the same time, with a pumpkin-shaped snuffle mat that turns mealtime into a nose work puzzle. Scatter kibble or treats through the fabric strips and let your dog sniff each piece out, which naturally slows down fast eaters and gives them mental enrichment beyond a normal bowl. It brings the calming, tuckered-out feeling of a good sniff session into your Halloween decor, so dinner time does double duty as enrichment time.
Comes in yellow with a pumpkin motif for a Halloween-appropriate look on the feeding mat.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does a snuffle mat actually slow down eating?
Yes, this is the main reason snuffle mats exist. Hiding food in fabric strips instead of a bowl makes a dog work and sniff for each piece, which takes longer than gulping from a dish.
Can I put wet food or treats in it, or only dry kibble?
Dry kibble and small dry treats work best and are easiest to clean out. Wet or greasy food can stain and soak into the fabric, so it is not recommended for this mat.
How do I clean it?
Shake out loose crumbs after each use. For a deeper clean, hand wash in cool water and let it air dry fully before the next feeding, since a damp mat can trap odor.
Should I supervise my dog while they use it?
Yes. As with any feeding mat, watch your dog the first few times to make sure they are sniffing out pieces rather than chewing at the fabric itself.
