This is a great snuffle mat! My dog loves this. It has different openings to hide treats and is a pretty large mat. The only thing that I didn't really like was that the mat would bunch up and fold over when my dog was pushing her nose against it, even on carpet. It does have a non-slip grip on the back of it but it doesn't really keep it from moving around.

There are cheaper products available but this one works well for my reactive dog. Dry kibble is easily hidden in a variety of places on the mat which requires him to concentrate resulting in calmer frame of mind. I have also used it for our elderly second dog to stimulate her cognitively.

We have a 5-month-old cattle dog / collie puppy. She is very active, very smart, and loves to be kept busy. She has chewed her way through more than a few toys, so I was a bit hesitant to get this, for fear that she would chew all the fabric pieces and destroy the snuffle mat. But it has been one of our best purchases for her, hands down.When we first introduced the snuffle mat, a family member kept the puppy busy while I loaded it with food, and then we let her at it. She quickly figured out what to do and LOVED it.We load the mat with regular food, and it will fit almost a full meal for her. The "cups" are usually the area she goes to first, because it is very easy, even if I smush the fabric to cover the food. The "grassy" area is also pretty easy for her to find food, and it is easy for her to grab the food and leave the fabric pieces alone. The "booklet" flaps took her a few tries to master, but she is now able to easily nose through and get food. The "pockets" and the "flowers" are the sections she goes to last, only when the other food is gone.Only one time has she chewed a fabric piece on the mat. I got distracted, and she got frustrated on one of the flowers and started to chew the fabric. As soon as I noticed, I removed the mat, and she has not done it since. She has also on one or two occasions decided it was easier to just pick the mat up and shake it so the food would all fly out. When she did this we removed the mat, and she has not done it again.We've had the mat for over a month now, and we actually leave it on the floor most of the day, and load it with food at mealtimes. If she is hungry, she will go over and start nosing for food, but otherwise she leaves it alone. She also has a nice food bowl, but most of the time she would rather eat her food from the snuffle mat.For the price, I think this is a must-have, especially for working-breed dogs who enjoy a challenge. You'll need to watch closely at first, make sure that the mat is loaded with food before they have access, and then remove the mat if they start to chew or shake it. But once they understand the concept, they will love it.I have not tried other brands of mats, but this one was recommended on several pet sites, and I've been very happy with it. The fabric is thick and relatively durable (for fabric, anyway). There is a non-skid coating on the bottom (we use it on a rug so I don't know how well it works on hard floors), and there is a nice fabric tie to keep it tidy when rolled up. It also has a variety of puzzles in a range of difficulty levels.I would definitely recommend snuffle mats in general and this one specifically to pet owners.

I purchased this snuffle mat for my 40 lb retriever mix. She needs surgery on her back legs and will be stuck on bed rest for a little while, so I needed to find something to exhaust her without her usual daily walks. She doesn't particularly care for treat dispensing toys (if she can't get the treat out right way, she just gives up and walks away) so I wasn't sure how this would go. But, she loves it! She's gentle with her toys in general, so I can't speak to its durability against super chewers, but so far, so good. It has a nice non-slip mat on the bottom and all the felt pieces are well attached.

I’ve only had this out of the box for 6 hours and she’s already fully in love with it. I have an elderly hound dog with some health issues so running around outside is not really an option for her anymore, but she still has an incredible nose. She usually takes some time to warm up to new things but she took to this straight away. She ate her whole dinner from it immediately and then when it was time to go to bed she insisted I bring it to the bedroom with us, and it clearly has been chosen over the crate, where she spends every night. Again, I’ve only had it out for a few hours. All the being said she did try to rip some pieces off when she couldn’t get to the food easily so I’d still use under supervision or make it super easy if you’re not watching them. We’ll see how it holds up overall but right now love it.
