Price $26
Rating ★★★★ 4/5 (100 reviews)
Category Slow Feeders
Best For Great for large dogs with big appetites who tend to gulp their food rapidly.

PAW5 Wooly Snuffle Dog Feeding Mat

by PAW5

Price $30-$40
Rating ★★★★ 4.4/5 (358 reviews)
Category Puzzle Toys
Best For Great for sniff-focused dogs, fast eaters, puppies, seniors, and dogs that prefer soft enrichment over hard plastic toys.

The Wooly Snuffle Mat is a soft, handmade feeding mat designed to mimic natural foraging by hiding kibble or treats among fabric strips. Dogs sniff, nose, and paw through the folds to find food, which helps slow meals and adds scent-based mental stimulation. It is machine-washable and made from a cotton, polyester, and spandex blend that is gentler than hard plastic puzzles.
