Snuffle Mat

[SteffiS]

Thought I might try one of these for Toffee (well you can't get a new puppy and not buy lots of stuff ). Can anyone recommend a particular one, and what size is best?
Just doing some shopping while everyone is asleep again .

I can’t recommend a snuffle mat but it appears your household has had more sleep in the first 24 hours than I got in 2 months

They seem to have got a lot cheaper than when I last looked, ebay for example

Can't vouch for the quality of them, but I have always wondered if a towelling twist
Bath mat would work just as well for small pieces of kibble, it's bigger than most snuffle mats, would wash well...

@SteffiS with all that time you've got on your hands while they are asleep ?
As you are a knitter and probably have lots of left over wool, you could make your own felt and create your own mat!
Not sure if you've ever tried it but it's very therapeutic ?

We got one someone had made at Obi’s daycare. He loves it! They used a rubber floor mat with holes and fleece strips. The mat was like this but cut into whatever size you want. Obi’s is about 25 x 25 cm. I’d go bigger.

I found someone recommended on FB who makes to order for size and colour choices. Donates her profit to a charity as well. My snuffle mat has been in use for a year with no problems. I'll search out the details for you

Ok, she is FB as Susiebugs, is very responsive to messages. She also makes tug toys - although we only ordered a snuffle mat she included a tug toy as the purchase was for Juno's birthday and it arrived in time for her birthday even though I had left it a little late to order . Her profits go to Labrador charities

Thank you

Don't think I've got quite that much time

Although we've just had ten minutes play in the garden and now he's dropped off again

Just joking?I bet strips of towel would work just as well though, with the type of mat that @Oberon linked to.
I'm eternally tight though so always on the lookout for a cheaper option?

Just ordered a mat from Susiebugs, they look lovely and a very reasonable price. Thank you @MaccieD .

I use the inside of a paw cleaner (which was useless!) but it makes a great puppy snuffle mat

Harley loves her snuffle mat. She has some kibble in it every night. If I forget, she sits staring at it then stares at me ?

Are you sure Spencer isn't a Pointer? Those ears surely are not Labrador! He's beautiful xxx
