I have a 53 lb German shepherd mix and this mat works well for her, mainly because it is so deep. She really has to sniff out the kibble and it keeps her busy. I highly recommend supervising your pet while they are using the mat, however if you do walk away make sure you check in on them frequently. My girl was was trying to extract some of the food and she began biting and pulling at the felt pieces; I'm sure she would have torn them out if I wasn't there. The second time she used it, she flipped it over and was trying to chew through the bottom to get to the food. This is the only reason for 4 stars instead of 5, as I know some purchasers may want to be able to leave their pets alone while using the mat.Considering the price, I am perfectly satisfied with this mat and as stated before I appreciate the deep pockets to hide the food. It encourages my girl to really sniff it out and forrage. I also like that I can open it up wider to make it easier for her or cinch it up more like a bowl to prolong the activity.I haven't put it in the washer yet but the felt is pretty stiff and hasnt gotten sticky or "yucky" as quickly as some of her other snuffle toys, so I've just done some spot cleaning so far.
The Pet Arena Snuffle Mat is one of those products that delivers on both function and fun. I picked it up to add more enrichment to my dog’s daily routine, and it’s quickly become a favorite in our home.Excellent for Mental Stimulation: My dog (a very energetic Aussie mix) absolutely loves it. Hiding kibble or small treats throughout the mat keeps her focused and engaged for a solid 10–15 minutes, which is saying something for her attention span. It’s a great way to slow down fast eaters and add variety to routine mealtimes.Soft, Durable Construction: The material is surprisingly soft but sturdy. Even with daily use and some excited pawing, it has held up beautifully. The stitching is tight, and the mat doesn’t fray like some others I’ve tried.Non-Slip Bottom: A huge plus—the bottom is grippy enough to stay in place on hardwood or tile floors, which makes the whole experience smoother (and less frustrating for me!).Machine Washable: I appreciate that I can toss it in the washer when it needs freshening up. It’s a big win in terms of pet hygiene and ease of use.Perfect for All Sizes: Whether you’ve got a small breed or a big pup, the size is generous and versatile. My dog dives right in and uses her nose, paws, and brain all at once—exactly what enrichment toys are made for.As someone who values thoughtful pet products and takes reviewing seriously, this one stood out. I highly recommend it to fellow pet owners looking to keep their dogs mentally active, especially on rainy days or during crate rest.5 out of 5 stars – Durable, engaging, and a great value for smarter, happier pups.
My fast eater slowed down and has fun looking for her food . Absolutely would recommend this !
This is a great product! We have an elderly miniature schnauzer and a young border collie/ Malinois mix, both rescues, who really enjoy their snuffle mats. We use them every few nights with their regular kibble and a sprinkling of grated parmesan cheese. I am ordering another one for our granddog who is an adult Malinois. What a great idea!
I noticed Yorkie Dally enjoyed foraging for acorns and yard trash outside so I bought one for rainy days. Now she enjoys foraging for her morning kibble every morning. Easy adaptation within 2 days. She finds and eats every bite.
