{"product_id":"covoraș-de-adulmecat-60-40-cm","title":"Snuffle Mat 60 × 40 cm","description":"\u003cp\u003eWhen we play with our dogs, we usually tug, pull, run or take part in other physical activities. A snuffle mat is primarily used for sensory stimulation and mental exercise. The magic lies in using your dog's wet nose, an extraordinary tool. Sniffing is the most natural activity for dogs. Snuffle balls and mats help your dog develop this sense even further. Watching your pet work independently is immensely rewarding. Mental and scent games are recommended by specialists and have become very popular among dog and cat owners. Scent games are particularly suitable for anxious and hyperactive dogs. For pets with disabilities, a snuffle mat is one of the few ways to spend time with their human.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat is a snuffle mat for dogs?\u003cbr\u003eThe snuffle mat is sewn from the highest quality materials. Its solid base has no holes, so treats do not fall onto the floor. We have also used a non-slip material on the underside. The fleece strips are sewn with strong cotton thread, making the mat highly durable and suitable even for large dogs. You can roll it up, and the handles make it easy to take with you.\u003cbr\u003eThe idea behind this seemingly simple toy is to hide something tasty that your dog can easily find by scent. Your dog can smell the treat but cannot see it, so they must focus on using their nose to discover their snack. The idea is simple, but that is precisely its appeal. An activity does not have to be complicated to be valuable for your dog. And when your pet gets tired, the mat becomes a perfectly soft place to rest.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe mat is available in the following size:\u003cbr\u003e60 × 40 cm, overall dimensions including fringe\u003cbr\u003eDesigned for small dogs and cats\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHow scent toys help\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e– if your pet eats too quickly\u003cbr\u003eThis behaviour is unsafe because, in extreme cases, it can lead to gastric torsion. The snuffle mat can be used in place of a food bowl. Your dog cannot see the food, so they have to find it by scent. This helps them stay calm at mealtimes and slows their eating pace.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e– if your dog does not want to eat\u003cbr\u003eSome dogs are very fussy eaters, and this is a good way to encourage them to eat food they refuse from a bowl.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e– if your pet is hyperactive\u003cbr\u003eIf your pet still has energy even after the longest walk and play session, a snuffle mat can be an excellent solution. Perhaps you do not have time to teach them tracking exercises, or the weather is unsuitable. You can use the mat whatever the weather.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e– a dog undergoing treatment\u003cbr\u003eWe know how frustrating recovery can be. Let's make this time more enjoyable for our dogs. Mental games will quickly tire them out.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e– a dog with a disability\u003cbr\u003eA disability does not mean a dog loses their zest for life. Often, quite the opposite is true, and these dogs are eager to do something with their human. The advantage of this product is that any dog with a functioning sense of smell can use it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e– a senior dog\u003cbr\u003eYour pet has reached retirement. A senior dog should no longer be pushed physically; the days of wild running and jumping are behind them. A snuffle mat is the perfect solution. It requires no strength, puts no strain on the joints or body, and is safe to use. Your dog will enjoy spending time this way while relaxing their mind.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKey benefits:\u003cbr\u003eSolid, sewn, non-slip base with no holes,\u003cbr\u003eMachine washable at 30 degrees,\u003cbr\u003eHighest quality materials,\u003cbr\u003eStrong stitching with cotton thread,\u003cbr\u003ePlenty of ways to adjust the difficulty,\u003cbr\u003eGreat fun for any pet,\u003cbr\u003eEasy to carry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNote: join your dog for the first few sessions. Show them that treats are hidden in the mat and gently encourage them to search. Some people immediately leave their dog alone with the mat and are surprised when it gets destroyed. It is worth spending a little time exploring scent games together. Pay particular attention while your dog is learning.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dingo","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52615617151315,"sku":"18373","price":37.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0953\/3951\/2147\/files\/18373-mata-wechowa-4.jpg?v=1766017588","url":"https:\/\/krause-doggy.com\/en\/products\/covora%c8%99-de-adulmecat-60-40-cm","provider":"Krause \u0026 Doggy","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
