AWOOF Snuffle Mat Pet Dog Feeding Mat
by AWOOF
A large 28-by-28-inch snuffle mat with layered petals, shaggy grass-style rings, and added bells and crackly elements for multisensory enrichment. It includes buckles or straps to anchor it to furniture and can be folded for transport. Made from felt, polar fleece, and artificial grass-style strips, it offers a more complex foraging experience than basic mats and is machine washable on gentle settings.
KONG Classic / KONG Extreme Natural Rubber Toy
by KONG
The KONG Classic and KONG Extreme are iconic hollow natural rubber toys designed for chewing, bouncing, and treat stuffing. The snowman-shaped form creates an unpredictable bounce for fetch and play, while the hollow center can be filled with treats, paste, or meals for enrichment. The black Extreme version uses a tougher rubber formula intended for stronger chewers, while the line overall includes multiple sizes and formulas for different life stages. It remains a versatile staple for both solo enrichment and owner-led play.
