Review on Get Your Pup Engaged With AWOOF Snuffle Mat: A Durable Pet Feeding Mat To Encourage Natural Foraging Skills by Bre Marie

I had not heard of snuffle mats before finding this product, and decided to give it a shot with my 3 year old Australian Shepherd mix. She is naturally very good motivated, but I had hoped that this would serve to slow her down a bit, and give her some mental enrichment. I am pleased to report that for her, it's perfect.The mat has lots of options for hiding food (to carrying levels of success). The main snuffling strands are good quality fleece, and after several months of use, are still in good condition. The small rings are also quite good for her. However, I have not had particular success with the small pockets. The stretch out a bit too easily but don't give the dog enough incentive to keep trying those areas (in our case).The packdown is quick and effective and it makes travel a breeze. This also served as a good stress reliever when we visit new places for longer periods of time (it is a familiar smell).I am very happy with this snuffle mat for it's durability, ease of use/cleaning, and effectiveness with my dog.All that said, I don't think this would work with every dog, and there are certainly some dogs that snuffling is more/less natural. If your dog is a natural snuffler, or if you are trying to give it an honest go (like in my case), I can't recommend this mat enough.
