Benefits

Foraging Enrichment: This toy hides dry kibble or treats between felt strips, encouraging pets to sniff and search for each piece, satisfying their natural foraging and hunting instincts.

Mental and Physical Stimulation: Searching through the felt strips engages your pet’s nose, brain, and body simultaneously, providing mental enrichment and light physical activity during every feeding session.

Relieves Stress and Boredom: The focused sniffing and searching activity has a calming effect on pets, helping to reduce boredom, relieve excess energy, and minimize destructive behavior at home.

Removable Tray Prevents Crumpling: The built-in removable plastic tray keeps the snuffle mat flat and in shape during use, extending its usability and maintaining a consistent play surface over time.

How to Use

Play Instructions

Introduce the Plate: Before first use, let your pet sniff and explore the snuffle plate freely so they become familiar with it and understand it is an enrichment feeding tool.

Hide the Food: Scatter bite-size dry kibble or small treats between the felt strips, pushing some pieces deeper for added difficulty and to extend the time your pet spends searching.

Additional Information

Care Instructions

Remove Tray Before Washing: Before placing the snuffle plate in the washing machine, remove the plastic tray to protect the tray during the wash cycle.

Machine Wash Cold: Wash the felt mat portion in cold water on a gentle cycle; avoid hot water, which can damage the natural felt strips and reduce their lifespan over time.

Air Dry Only: After washing, allow the mat to air dry completely before the next use; do not place it in a dryer, as heat can damage and shrink the felt material.

Clear Remaining Food: After each session, shake out or remove any remaining kibble or treats from the felt strips to prevent stale food buildup and maintain hygiene between uses.

Safety Instructions

Always Supervise Play: Always supervise your dog or cat closely during use and teach your pet how the snuffle ball works before leaving them to play independently with any foraging toy.

Not for Aggressive Chewers: This toy is not appropriate for pets with aggressive chewing habits; it is designed for sniffing and foraging only, not for biting or pulling at the tassels.

Dry Kibble Only: Use only bite-size dry kibble or small dry treats inside this toy; wet or sticky foods can soil the polyester tassels and make them very difficult to clean properly.
