Snuffle Mat
Snuffle Mat
Scatter his dinner into the strips instead of tipping it into a bowl. Ten seconds of work for you, and the meal that used to take ninety seconds now takes him fifteen or twenty minutes of nose-down searching.
What it does
- Dense fleece strips hide kibble and treats down at the base, so he has to find each piece by smell
- Lies flat on the floor — no lids, no mechanism, nothing to learn
- Machine washable, which matters on something wet food goes into
- Rolls up for storage
Who it is for
Fast eaters. Flat-living dogs. Cats too — same principle, and it works on a bored indoor cat as well as it does on a dog.
Watch him the first few times
It is fabric strips on a fabric base. A dog who decides to eat the mat rather than search it is a problem, and swallowed fabric is a vet visit. Most dogs get the idea immediately; a few need supervising and a few should not have one at all.

Sizing
Measure, do not guess. Where a product has sizes, the chart is in the description above, with the exact measurement each size is based on. If your animal falls between two sizes, message us before ordering rather than after.
Delivery
We ship anywhere in South Africa. Rates and timeframes are on the shipping page. Made-to-order items are produced after you order, so they take longer than the rest of the range.
Returns
Faulty or damaged is on us, including the return postage. Change of mind is covered on the returns page. Personalised items cannot be returned for change of mind, which is why we confirm the spelling and size with you in writing first.
What we do not claim
Nothing we sell treats, prevents or cures anything. These are aids, not veterinary care. Where we have not measured something ourselves, the description says so rather than repeating the supplier's word for it.
Dinner as a search
Scatter his food into the strips instead of tipping it into a bowl, and the meal takes fifteen or twenty minutes of nose-down searching.
Food hidden in fleece
Dense fleece strips hide kibble at the base, so he has to find each piece by smell.
Nothing to learn
It lies flat. No lids, no mechanism, nothing to work out except where the food went.
Machine washable
It goes in the wash and rolls up for storage.

Returns
Can cats use it?
Yes. Same principle, and it works on a bored indoor cat as well as it does on a dog.
Can I leave him with it?
Watch him the first few times. A dog who chews the strips instead of searching should not be left with it.
How do I clean it?
It is machine washable.
How long does delivery take?
2 to 4 working days to most South African addresses, dispatched from Cape Town. You get a tracking number when the parcel is collected, not when the order is placed.
What if it is wrong when it arrives?
Tell us within 30 days and we will sort out a return on anything unused and in its packaging. No restocking fee. Personalised items are the exception, which is why we confirm the spelling with you first.
Are these vet recommended?
No. We will not put those words on a page without a named, consenting, registered vet who has actually reviewed the product, and we do not have one. Nothing here treats, prevents or cures anything. A distressed animal needs a vet, not a product page.
