Livekey Pet Snuffle Mat
by Livekey Pet
A compact square snuffle mat with multiple feeding cups around the edges and a central foraging zone, using a soft fleece-based dual-layer design to hide treats. The mat includes non-slip backing and is machine washable, making it easy to maintain for regular feeding enrichment. Its gentler structure makes it especially suitable for small to medium dogs or dogs that prefer less dense foraging textures.

by Nina Ottosson / Outward Hound
This intermediate three-tier rotating puzzle challenges dogs to spin layers to reach twelve treat compartments, with three removable bone-shaped covers that increase the difficulty. Made from BPA-, PVC-, and phthalate-free hard plastic, it combines mental stimulation with physical interaction and works well for dogs ready to move beyond very basic puzzles.
