Sniffing is a dog's favourite way to switch off. Scatter their kibble or a few treats through the soft fleece and let them nose it out, one little find at a time. It turns a loud evening into a game they want to play.

Why sniffing helps

In a 2019 study, two weeks of sniffing games left pet dogs in a more positive frame of mind than heelwork training did. RSPCA Australia also suggests feeding and playing with your dog before and during fireworks. The Snuffle Mat makes both easy.

How to use it

  • Scatter a handful of their usual kibble deep into the fleece.
  • Start easy, with food near the top, then hide it deeper as they get the hang of it.
  • Bring it out before a storm or fireworks, and pair it with the Lick Mat for a longer wind-down.

The details

  • Soft fleece strips on a non-slip base
  • Regular: 48 x 38 cm, for most dogs and cats. Large: 69 x 53 cm, for big noses.
  • Shake out crumbs after use. Machine washable on a gentle cycle, then air dry.

Always supervise, and put it away if it starts getting chewed. Not a substitute for advice from your vet.

Sniff, find, settle.

Sniffing games are linked to a more positive emotional state in dogs, and in owner surveys, feeding and play during fireworks was the day-of approach most often linked with less fear.

The Snuffle Mat turns dinner into a slow, sniffy game they can do while it rumbles outside.

How to use it

  1. 1

    Start easy

  2. 2

    As they get the hang of it, tuck food further into the fleece.

  3. 3

    Bring it out early

    Before the storm or fireworks start. Pair it with the Lick Mat for a longer wind-down.

Good to know
