Actually, it is always possible. Use a snuffle mat as enrichment after a walk, as a quiet activity on rainy days or as part of a relaxing morning ritual. Many dogs eat their breakfast from the snuffle mat and start the day with focus and pleasure. Even if you have to leave your dog alone for a while, a well-filled snuffle mat can provide distraction.

Snuffle mats for dogs
Houston, we have a snuffler
Sniffing is for dogs what reading is for people: relaxing, educational and essential for their mental well-being. A snuffle mat is a great way to challenge your dog in a natural way. It combines tracking, foraging and brain work in one cheerful carpet full of trails, compartments and hiding places. Whether you have a puppy who is just starting to explore or a smart adult dog who could use an extra challenge - a snuffle mat is always a good fit.
Why use a snuffle mat?
In the wild, dogs (and wolves) spend hours a day searching for food. At home, they get their kibble in 30 seconds. That's nice and easy, but also a bit boring. And that can lead to frustration, boredom or even behavioral problems. Snuffle mats bring the search game back, right into your living room. Your dog has to make an effort, think, use his nose. And that's exactly what makes him happy.
In addition, sniffing has a calming effect. It stimulates the brain without physical strain and is therefore ideal for dogs that need to recover, have less exercise or are sensitive to stress.
When do you use a snuffle mat?
What do you put in a snuffle mat?
Small kibble, air-dried treats, sausage pieces, trainers, or a mix of anything – as long as it’s small and falls well into the mat. Some dogs also love it when you hide a few fragrant crumbs in between, such as freeze-dried fish or dog biscuit pieces. Just make sure your mat is sturdy enough and remains safe from avid sniffers.
Which dogs are suitable for a snuffle mat?
For every dog with a nose! But definitely for:
- Puppies who want to use their senses in a safe way
- Smart dogs looking for a challenge
- Senior dogs that exercise less but remain mentally active
- Anxious or overstimulated dogs who benefit from a calming activity
- Dogs with physical limitations or during recovery
Sniffing stimulates focus, promotes self-confidence and provides dopamine – the reward substance that makes your dog feel happy. The more you use it, the faster your dog learns: quiet searching pays off .
