PAW5 Wooly Snuffle Mat — Feeding Mat for Dogs
by PAW5
A premium handmade snuffle mat made from a cotton-polyester-spandex blend, designed to mimic deep grass or underbrush so dogs can forage for kibble and treats hidden in the fibers. It also works as a slow feeder and can double as a soft resting spot for small dogs. The mat is machine washable and is especially suited for dogs that benefit from enrichment or slower mealtimes.
Starmark Treat Dispensing Chew Ball (Large)
by Starmark
The Starmark Treat Dispensing Chew Ball is a durable ball-shaped enrichment toy made from a tough synthetic material marketed as stronger than typical rubber. Dogs can roll, chew, and paw it to release treats or kibble, and it also bounces and floats for active play indoors or outside.
