Made from stainless steel with a rubberized non-skid base, it is available in several sizes and is a durable option for dogs that dislike plastic bowls.
Stellaire Chern Snuffle Feeding Mat
by Stellaire Chern
A large-format snuffle feeding mat with multiple hide zones including pockets, cups, folds, and flaps that create a more complex nose-work challenge. Made from a blend of polar fleece, felt, and soft cotton materials, it can be used flat or rolled and includes anti-slip backing and storage straps. It is machine washable and is designed for dogs that need more variety than standard grass-style mats provide.
