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
Lickin' Layers combines a slow feeder, licking enrichment toy, and treat puzzle into one design with layered or textured surfaces for wet foods and compartments for dry food. Dogs engage by licking, sniffing, and flipping or working through the structure to access rewards, making it a calming option for food enrichment and slower feeding.
