Sniffing Out The Wooly Snuffle Mat

By Kristy @mileydailyscoop
PAW5 believes that mealtime should be an enriching and rewarding challenge for dogs since they are wired to forage and hunt for food.
We were first introduced to PAW5 with their Rock 'N Bowl puzzle feeder which helped dogs' think and problem solve while having fun and being rewarded by finding the kibble.
Today we happy to bring you their newest enrichment product for your dog, the Wooly™ Snuffle Mat.

A Dog's Nose Is Their Greatest Gift


Did you know that a dog's nose is thousands of times stronger than a humans? The Wooly engages your dog's powerful sense of smell as they snuffle, snort and sniff their way through dinner.

How Does It Work? 

Just pour food or treats directly on top of the mat and let the sniffing begin!
The Wooly Snuffle Mat is made to feed their belly and their brain by stimulating your dog's natural foraging instincts to hunt for food in grass and fields.
I love that this mat turns meals and treat time into a scent-driven scavenger hunt, a perfect way to put their nose and brain to work. 

Let's Sniff Out The Details!


  • Sustainably hand-made from upcycled materials at a woman owned and operated progressive facility in rural Thailand. 
  • They take the wasteful off-cuts of the textile industry, rinse and clean them thoroughly, then hand-sew them into the Wooly.
  • Perfect for any breed, any size and any age dog.
  • Durable construction.
  • Fully machine washable.

We give the Wooly Snuffle Mat a GOLDEN PAWS UP! 

I can honestly say, I thought as soon I put the Wooly mat on the floor and sprinkled the food on the mat, that they would grab the mat and have a game of tug-of-war.
Much to my surprise they did just the opposite. They immediately sniffed out the food and snorted their way through the entire mat and then some. 
I loved watching the Goldens engage their sense of smell which really slowed them down and made them work for their food which is what they were born to do. We are so happy to see a company like PAW5 who really cares about enriching the lives of dogs and doing it in a way that supports the community, environment and the planet.
