Great way to slow down "gobblers "

My 2 year old Aussie is a food gobbler. She inhales her food like vacuum cleaner if it's put in a regular bowl. She doesn't chew unless we feed her by hand a few pieces at a time, which is time consuming. We tried a puzzle bowl but it didn't slow her down. I came across this snuffle mat on Revain and tried it out. It arrived neatly folded and all I had to do was unfold it and it was ready to go. It really slowed her down right away. Using the snuffle mat has slowed her eating habits and also…

Pros
  • Provides a safe and effective solution for anxiety
Cons
  • May not be able to withstand heavy use

Good for the Zoomies

I was really on the fence. We have a brand new addition to the fam.we have a beautiful golden retriever boy. He's all uncoordinated and so sweet. But. He's a digger. He digs in his water bowl, flinging water left and right.But we also have an 11 year old mini Aussie.The short answer? They both LOVE IT! 🐾🐾But, balancing the cost against the quality. If I hadn't bought it online, I probably would've passed it by on a shelf. Sorry (◞‸◟ㆀ)The mat itself is ok. Nothing outstanding. The "straps"…

Pros
  • Suitable for all breeds and sizes of dogs
Cons
  • May not be effective at discouraging aggressive behavior during meal times

DON’T LEAVE DOGS UNATTENDED!

We have two highly energetic husky puppies, and we’ve been looking for things to fight boredom. I’ve never used a snuffle mat before, but our dogs love it. In fact, they love it so much, they tried to eat it…. We left them unattended with it, and they started tearing apart the seams and ripping off the fabric. Our pups will destroy anything if we don’t watch them. So, be aware…Overall, it’s great quality, sturdy, and exciting for the dogs to enjoy!

Pros
  • ❤ EXTRA FUN ATTRACTS YOUR PUPPY – We are extremely positive of our snuffle mat. But in order to provide more fun for lovely puppies, we set up 4 additional feeding game for the smart and experienced dogs! And there is a BB call under the logo in the middle and 3 bells, 4 pieces of ringing paper randomly place in the petal.
Cons
  • May not be suitable for dogs with severe food allergies

The pups love this thing

We've tried the spiral bowls to help slow feeding time down (belly aches & throw up) and within days my too smart Australian Sheppard had it figured out and would scarf food down again - she would just knock the bowl over & spill it but the mat doesn't flip like that. This mat is fun for her, she eats slower, enjoys snuffling out her food and it helps burn some energy & engage her at the same time. We've been using it 2x/day for feeding for just over a month now and it's held up really well…

Pros
  • Pet Supplies
Cons
  • May not be suitable for dogs who are aggressive eaters

Entertaining: my feedback

We had adopted seniors (a terrier mix who was about 45 lbs and chi mix about 10 lbs) who didn't quite grasp playing and wanted to increase activity. Both dogs loved searching for small treats/food in this mat. They got so excited when we would take it out to hide food. An excellent purchase and would so buy again. We have owned for six months and no problems. No parts have come off and we have only spot clean.

Pros
  • Makes feeding time a more enjoyable experience for both pet and owner
Cons
  • May not be as effective at promoting a healthy feeding routine for all dogs

A great experience for my dog

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…

Pros
  • Keeps your dog entertained for extended periods
Cons
  • May not be as durable as advertised

Engaging and Loves by my Senior dogs and puppy!

I have owned this product a little over 3 mo. and despite the wear it shows in my photos - I love it! I have 2 80lb bulldog mixes and a 10 mo old Australian shepherd/husky puppy. They all love this thing. Bulldogs can do it with their little smooshed faces too. They use it together and individually. My puppy is not a big eater, but she loves eating from this mat. I pepper in a few training treats, but mostly use dog food. The trick is I have to pick it up as soon as they’re done or they chew it

Pros
  • Stimulates your dog's sense of smell
Cons
  • May not be suitable for dogs who are prone to anxiety

Dog loves it good for me

Our dog is half hound dog so you can imagine she loves to sniff and root around. This is perfect for her. She gets more excited about the snuffle rug than anything else in the house.

Pros
  • Dogs
Cons
  • May not be suitable for dogs who have trouble with depth perception

Challeging! good for me

We really like this Snuffle Mat -- and so does our dog. One should make sure to keep it clean because it can attract ants if left out.

Pros
  • Offers an alternative to traditional feeding bowls
Cons
  • May not be effective at slowing down fast eaters

Warning: plastic clips attached to the back are chewable!

My standard Bernedoodle LOVES her snuffle mat, but I found small pieces of orange plastic on the floor after she used it. She had chewed off two of the plastic clips for tying it up. I cut the remaining two off the back.

Pros
  • Allows dogs to use their innate instincts
Cons
  • May not be as appealing to dogs who are used to their current feeding routine

Keeps my dog entertained

Keeps my 1 year old pomsky entertained and tires him out. But the only thing I did not like was that he was able to chew up a small piece of the fabric. So if your dog is a chewer keep a close eye on them. Other than that great item to buy and my dog loves it.

Pros
  • Tested and approved by veterinarians
Cons
  • May not be as sturdy as advertised

Slows feeding down.

Our puppy was inhaling his food. This is great for brain stimulation and slowing down meals. Still use it from time to time a year later.

Pros
  • Made with high-quality, durable materials
Cons
  • May not be suitable for dogs who don't enjoy puzzles/games

Great doggie enrichment tool

My dog gets so excited when she sees me takeOut her snuffle mat. It’s a great tool for mental stimulation and burning off some extra energy , especially on rainy/cold days when her walks aren’t as long. I hide dry kibble or small treats in it for her to find.

Pros
  • Easy to clean and maintain
Cons
  • May not be as hygienic as traditional feeding bowls

My dog LOVES it! on my review.

My 10 year old dachshund loves this mat. He loves to play tug o war and this is such a great enrichment toy for him. And I don't have to play tug o war all day now

Pros
  • Can be used as a tool in obedience training
Cons
  • May not be as easy to use as traditional feeding bowls

Corgi approved in my review

My girl Bettina LOVES when I bring this out. She's never been destructive with it, her personality is more food motived than destructo. The activity lasts maybe 5-10 minutes so its become part of a larger and more elaborate game of find the treats. Have not cleaned it yet but assume the drying will take the longest. Overall Im happy with the purchase.

Pros
  • Can prevent resource guarding behavior
Cons
  • May not be as effective at encouraging natural foraging skills as advertised

Senior dog good for me

It's a great activity for an older dog whom is limited in mobility. My dog was having a hard time moving around and I wanted to get her something to keep her somewhat active and the snuffle matt is great choice for her to keep her mental state working. Even my youngest dog loves it too.

Pros
  • Feeding & Watering Supplies
Cons
  • May not be easy to clean
