I recently got the AWOOF Pet Snuffle Mat for Dogs and it's already become a reliable tool in our daily routine for both enrichment and calming-down moments. Right out of the box it impressed: the fabric is thick and sturdy, the colors are bright, and the mat has tons of folds, pockets, and hidden sections that easily hold kibble or treats. The design encourages my dog to slow down, sniff, search — and that means less gulping, less boredom, and more mental engagement. During use, the mat has worked wonders. Instead of the usual "empty bowl, done" routine, feeding time now takes my dog a solid chunk of time and holds her interest. She gets excited, goes through the layers, noses down into the piles, and seems genuinely satisfied when she's finished. After the session, she’s calmer and less hyperactive than she used to be — which is exactly what I hoped for when I bought it. The fact that it’s machine-washable and still holds its shape after multiple washes is a huge plus. Another benefit: the mat is adaptable to different feeding or play settings. Sometimes I’ll hide a few treats and use it as a semi -training tool; other times I’ll fill it with kibble and let her munch while I prep dinner. It’s convenient, reduces food-driven anxiety, and provides a fun sensory experience. For dogs that have big ears, have finished their zoomies, or just need something meaningful in the day, this snuffle mat gives value way beyond its price. If you’re looking for something to reduce boredom, encourage natural foraging behavior, and make feed time more engaging — the AWOOF Pet Snuffle Mat is absolutely worth five stars. Read more
Great for stimulating the dogs when we have weather unfit for man nor beast! Dogs spend a lot of time looking for their food, and when I use different a different color, it is all new again. I love that I can shake them out, and use the drawstring to put them away! We bought four. Three to keep, one to share! Read more
This is a great snuffle mat for my husky/retriever mix! I removed a star because the felt strips are easily torn off and consumed so it doesn’t seem to last long.. he roots his food and this mat has helped me contain his kibble much easier. Read more
Cute and functional for the most part! The material is not very durable. Our dogs chewed through both the bottom lining and the rope that cinches it closed within 10 minutes. We still use it as is! It definitely keeps the dogs busy for a few minutes :) They seem to really enjoy it! Not easy to clean. Read more
The media could not be loaded. I purchased the AWOOF Pet Snuffle Mat for my energetic 8-month-old puppy, and it’s been such a game changer! He loves sniffing around and searching for his treats, and it keeps him engaged way longer than a regular bowl. I honestly expected him to start tearing it up right away, but instead he stayed focused on finding the treats and was entertained much longer than I anticipated. The mat feels well-made, easy to fold up for travel, and simple to clean. What I love most is how it slows down his eating while giving him mental stimulation—perfect for a dog that needs enrichment and stress relief. Even my older dog enjoys it. Highly recommend this for anyone with a pup that gets bored easily or eats too fast! Read more
I bought 2 different brands/types and this one is much more sturdy overall. Not thrilled with the felt for small pockets because those are too flimsy to use but the rest holds up to my hound carrying/ moving it around Read more
Works perfectly! If you need extra time to do something, having their food in this and closed about 75% of the way works amazing Read more
The media could not be loaded. We generally love this snuffle mat. Setup is easy, the fabric feels durable, and the little flaps are tougher than I expected; my 3 month old hasn’t chewed any off yet. Foraging with kibble keeps her busy and gives her a “job.” The first several uses kept her occupied for a good 30+ minutes. Now, after about two weeks, it holds her attention for 10–15 minutes, which I’d say makes it a great “beginner” or “easy” snuffle mat. Regular kibble seems to be the perfect size for hiding in it. What I didn’t like: the string and plastic toggle closure. My pup went straight for the plastic toggle and cord, chewed on it, and I realized it could turn into a hazard. I removed the toggle within minutes, but then the string itself became the toy of the day. Honestly, I don’t think the closure is needed at all — something like velcro would be safer. Over all, it's in daily use, but I’d choose a future snuffle mat without a cord. Read more
