AWOOF Snuffle Mat Pet Dog Feeding Mat, 28″×28″ Interactive Puzzle
by AWOOF
This large AWOOF puzzle snuffle mat combines pockets, petals, felt fringe, artificial grass sections, and built-in sensory extras like squeakers, bells, and crinkly materials for an advanced enrichment setup. Its oversized footprint plus anchor straps and buckles make it suitable for dogs that need a more involved and stimulating nose-work challenge.
Ethical Pet Seek-A-Treat Shuffle Bone Puzzle Dog Toy
by Ethical Pet
This bone-shaped beginner puzzle uses sliding or shuffling panels to hide treats underneath, encouraging dogs to use their nose and paws to uncover rewards. Made from compressed wood and cardboard-like materials, it offers a lightweight, simple introduction to puzzle play but is more sensitive to drool, moisture, and rough handling than plastic alternatives.
