ALOYA Snuffle Mat vs Starmark Treat Dispensing Chew Ball (Large)
ALOYA Snuffle Mat
by ALOYA
A felt-and-fleece snuffle mat with an outer drawstring that allows it to lie flat, form a semi-bowl, or gather into a compact bundle for storage or transport. Its grass-like flap zones and non-slip bottom provide a simple but effective nose-work experience, especially for beginners. It is machine washable and is often chosen as an affordable, travel-friendly enrichment mat for small to medium dogs.
Starmark Treat Dispensing Chew Ball (Large)
by Starmark
The Starmark Treat Dispensing Chew Ball is a durable ball-shaped enrichment toy made from a tough synthetic material marketed as stronger than typical rubber. Dogs can roll, chew, and paw it to release treats or kibble, and it also bounces and floats for active play indoors or outside.
