Sniffing mats

A sniffing mat is an interactive toy for dogs that consists of a mat with several layers of fabric or fleece strips on top. The idea is for the dog to use its nose and snout to look for treats hidden between the strips of fabric. The idea behind the sniffing mat is to stimulate dogs' natural hunting instincts and challenge them mentally, which can help reduce stress and anxiety. Using a sniffing mat can also help keep the dog occupied for longer and make him less likely to get bored.
