FUN FACT: Dogs love to work for their food!

Did you know that, given the choice between provided food or food that requires effort to obtain, dogs prefer to work for it! Snuffle mats tap into their natural canine urges to forage and hunt for their food – it is a rewarding and mentally enriching way to eat.

Outward Hound Activity Matz are fun to use, easy to clean, and perfect for both mental and physical exercise. The Fast Food Fun activity mat comes with optional closures to level up the challenge! Once your dog has sniffed out the treats or kibble from the plush material, increase the challenge by placing food in the pockets and hiding them under an extra layer by stuffing in the hot dog. For an even harder challenge, hide the tasty rewards under hook & loop closures. When not in use, the activity mat folds up for easy storage.

Try feeding a portion of your dogs meals in a snuffle mat a few times a week, and watch how excited they get whenever their snuffle mat gets brought out.

Using a snuffle mat allows your dog to decode what’s in front of them with their nose, which can:

• Alleviate stress
• Provide mental stimulation
• Encourage slower eating habits
• Initiate sniffing and foraging centres of the brain, which are pleasurable for the dog
• Create mental stimulation for dogs on restricted exercise
• Help calm an overstimulated pup
