Why does my furbaby need a snuffle mat?
Forager combines the health benefits of a slow feeder with the enrichment benefits of a snuffle mat; slowing down their eating to prevent bloating, choking, or vomiting, while burning energy & providing mental stimulation.
What types of food & treats can you use on the Forager Mat?
We recommend only using dry food, treats, or dryer veggies like carrots in the slow feeder bowl. For extra nutrition, pair with SoftSupps. We recommend Calming, Probiotic, or Multifunctional.
What is the difference between the Meadow Mat and the Forest Mat?
Our Meadow Mats are easy/intermediate difficulty by providing pockets for food to fall into and visual cues for pets to find. Our Forest Mat is the most challenging because pets must only use their nose to find food.
Should I get the Forager Bowl or Forager Mat?
We recommend having both for different reasons! For an everyday slow feeder or food bowl replacement, we recommend the Forager Mat. For a travel bowl or interactive play, we recommend the Forager Bowl that you can pack and store easily in your home!
How am I supposed to clean the Forager Mat?
Forager Bowl is completely machine washable. Flip inside out, cinch, and wash with PetTergent. How often depends on how often your furbaby uses Forager, and how messy of an eater they are.
Because they are family.
At Pet Parents, we live every day by this core principle. Because we believe that pet parenting should be easy, we’re here for you; whether it’s through our products, services, or information, we want to do our part to help and be a resource to you–so your furbabies can live longer, healthier, & happier lives.

My (dog trainer) favorite snuffle mat
I work with dogs and this is the snuffle mat that I recommend to nearly all of my clients. It is light weight, washes up well via the washing machine, and so far (after 2 years of use) has stood up very well. I have 4 of them in my home for my border collie and corgi to eat from – we use this instead of bowls. It slows the dogs down from eating to fast but more importantly it enables them to eat in a more natural way – it is very canine to sniff and forage for food. This product enables them to do that.For a treat, from time to time, I will even take some finely shredded cheese and sprinkle it in the mats and the dogs will literally be sniffing for 20 minutes if not more, finding every last piece of cheese.I personally use the 19″ square mats for my dogs (each dog being 30 pounds in size). Gives a nice amount of surface area for them to sniff and forage through.

Perfect for Pet Pigs
Iâve purchased a couple of these mats and my pig absolutely loves them! They are extremely durable, hold up well through multiple washings, and are far superior quality wise to other types of snuffle mats on the market.
Amazon Customer –
Good quality and dog enjoys searching for the treats.
Use to provide mental stimulation and distraction for a dog with anxiety.

Soft snuffling
The dogs love snuffling for kibble in their new food mat. Itâs a bit smaller for two dogs, but still holds plenty of kibble. Convenient to have one to wash and one to use!
Giselle –
solid purchase
this was a great starter snuffle mat for my puppy , keeps him occupied for a bit since i did purchase the small mat. It is very soft and easy to hide treats in, the blue spots are easier sections for him to start sniffing. It rolls up nicely and closes with a velcro strap for storage. My puppy has chewed areas of it but itâs holding up great, nothing as torn off the mat.

Does exactly what itâs supposed to
I used this for little snacks for our puppy. We feed her twice a day, but we always hold out a little of her food in reserve for training and enrichment. She loves to snuffle and forage when sheâs in the yard and on walks, so I thought this would be a great fit.I sprinkle a handful of kibble over it, then run my hands/fingers across the fibers to help the kibble sort of settle into the mat and hide. Then I put it on the floor for her. She knows exactly what it is, and she loves it. Sheâll even bring me the mat during the day, which I think is her way of asking for a snack!It takes her about 5-10 minutes to finish it. I was hoping to get a little more time out of it, but sheâs a smart girl and a good sniffer. I like that it has rubber grippy spots on the bottom and that it can be rolled up for storage. I also like that itâs machine washable. She doesnât try to chew on it, so I canât speak to how durable it is in that regard.

Meh
The pile on this isn’t long enough to hide the treats. My dog just looked at the mat to find them. It took seconds for her to visually spot them all.
Becca –
Fun, easy to clean, easy to spread food in
I love this mat. It can easily go in the washing machine, and I can just drop the food on top for my bunnies and it falls in instead of me having to spend a few minutes burying it for them
Amazon Customer –
I use this sniffing mat in rainy days or when I cannot spread/hide his food outside. I have a 7-month old cockapoo and he loves this sniffy mat so much that he would nap on it. He also uses this surface to eat his kong. This mat is safer and more durable than other mats (my puppy would chew on felt material mats or eat the zipper or foam padding of other mats). The mat is truly non-slip. I highly recommend!
Marlene_fit –
My 8 month old bichon is very picky when it comes to eat so I told myself Iâd buy this mat to make it exciting for her . So far so surprisingly good ! She loves to sniff around and find things so sheâs having a blast. Especially when she finds some treats that u his here and there.Sheâs 10 pounds and the size is perfect for her and I like that it doesnât slide on my wooden floor!
Kleiner Piepmatz –
Great quality made product, easily cleaned because its machine washable. My kitty enjoys searching for his kibble in it. Has anti slip material on the bottom side, but I place it on a silicone mat to prevent slipping and sliding. Wish it had come in a different colour other than the dull gray.
Katherine –
My dog really likes it, much like a large shag carpet. Deep enough to hide treats and kibble, my cat enjoys it too. Not as non slip as I would like on the floor
Frank –
Looks like shag carpet but is well made. The backing keeps the mat in place while he is eating.
