All snuffle mats are not created equal.

Over time, small pill and lint balls will not form on the edges of the fabric (and end up in your dog’s stomach), which is what happens with cheaper, less expensive fleece.  Additionally, the heavier the fleece, the longer the snuffle mat will last.

Made with over 100 high quality fleece strips means the fleece won’t easily flatten or become limp like other mats that use inferior fabrics. Better fleece means the curls keep their shape, providing a bigger surface area (i.e. more curls in which to hide food). This also means your dog has to snuffle down even further to find his or her treats. More snuffle time will keep your dog busy for longer durations – no flat mats here!

Since we recommend using harder-type treats (e.g. kibble, broken up biscuits, training treats, etc.), the mat may not need to be washed frequently. However, as needed, the mat is machine washable (please see our care instructions on the Uses & Care page).

The heavy duty base is made with phthalate-free recycled rubber.

Great care goes into making each and every SnuffleMutt snuffle mat, which also gives us the ability to create customized pieces with a customer’s favorite colors, prints, and patterns.
