Das 2. Mal habe ich diesen Schnüffelteppich gekauft; wirklich super. Aufgrund einer Erkrankung kann nur feuchtes Futter versteckt werden, was ein ständiges Waschen erforderlich macht.Aber der Schnüffelteppich ist sehr lange schön geblieben und der Hund hat viel Freude damit. Wir sagen: Daumen und Pfoten hoch

There are cheaper products available but this one works well for my reactive dog. Dry kibble is easily hidden in a variety of places on the mat which requires him to concentrate resulting in calmer frame of mind. I have also used it for our elderly second dog to stimulate her cognitively.

Such a cute snuffle mat!! It’s a great size both my pups can share it. My boy is 60lb and my girl is 45lb. I love using it for their meal times to keep them busy!!

We have a 5-month-old cattle dog / collie puppy. She is very active, very smart, and loves to be kept busy. She has chewed her way through more than a few toys, so I was a bit hesitant to get this, for fear that she would chew all the fabric pieces and destroy the snuffle mat. But it has been one of our best purchases for her, hands down.When we first introduced the snuffle mat, a family member kept the puppy busy while I loaded it with food, and then we let her at it. She quickly figured out what to do and LOVED it.We load the mat with regular food, and it will fit almost a full meal for her. The "cups" are usually the area she goes to first, because it is very easy, even if I smush the fabric to cover the food. The "grassy" area is also pretty easy for her to find food, and it is easy for her to grab the food and leave the fabric pieces alone. The "booklet" flaps took her a few tries to master, but she is now able to easily nose through and get food. The "pockets" and the "flowers" are the sections she goes to last, only when the other food is gone.Only one time has she chewed a fabric piece on the mat. I got distracted, and she got frustrated on one of the flowers and started to chew the fabric. As soon as I noticed, I removed the mat, and she has not done it since. She has also on one or two occasions decided it was easier to just pick the mat up and shake it so the food would all fly out. When she did this we removed the mat, and she has not done it again.We've had the mat for over a month now, and we actually leave it on the floor most of the day, and load it with food at mealtimes. If she is hungry, she will go over and start nosing for food, but otherwise she leaves it alone. She also has a nice food bowl, but most of the time she would rather eat her food from the snuffle mat.For the price, I think this is a must-have, especially for working-breed dogs who enjoy a challenge. You'll need to watch closely at first, make sure that the mat is loaded with food before they have access, and then remove the mat if they start to chew or shake it. But once they understand the concept, they will love it.I have not tried other brands of mats, but this one was recommended on several pet sites, and I've been very happy with it. The fabric is thick and relatively durable (for fabric, anyway). There is a non-skid coating on the bottom (we use it on a rug so I don't know how well it works on hard floors), and there is a nice fabric tie to keep it tidy when rolled up. It also has a variety of puzzles in a range of difficulty levels.I would definitely recommend snuffle mats in general and this one specifically to pet owners.

Keeps my 18yo foster dog active! Both of my dogs loved this immediately and had to work for their treats. Busy, active and definitely satisfied. Probably going to buy another one or two!

Loved this snuffle mat, not as large as I thought and the rubber coating only does so much sticking but my 15year old lab is like a pup when we bring this out. It completely reactivates that foraging instinct and she usually takes it outside afterwards and sniffs everything out there too. Comes back to it all day, even snoozes on it. Well worth it, has relieved a little of her anxiety. One of her favorite things! If you're on the fence, get one, even if it's not this one. They are brilliant!
