Why snuffle mat?
-
😌 Increasing Calmness
When dogs engage in sniffing and searching activities, their heart rate slows, which is a physical indication of calming down.
-
🧠 Mental Stimulation
By providing an outlet for dogs' natural foraging instincts, the snuffle mat occupies 1/8 of their brain that dedicates to scenting, keeping them from boredom and destructive behaviors.
-
🐕 Slow Feeding
Fast eating can lead to bloating, choking, or digestive upset. The snuffle mat slows your dog down in a natural and enjoyable way.

Why Dogs & Dog Parents Love It
Science-based Design
Most snuffle mats leave food exposed. Ours is intentionally designed to hide food deeper, work your dog’s nose harder, and deliver real mental stimulation backed by canine behavior science.
Soft and Dog-Safe Material
We use premium polar fleece that stays soft and fluffy so it’s gentle on your dog’s muzzle, yet durable enough for daily foraging. It’s the perfect balance of comfort and long-lasting quality.
Sized for True Enrichment
A large, edge-to-edge sniffing area gives dogs space to explore and satisfies enrichment needs for small breeds, large breeds, and even high-energy dogs who need more engagement.
Easy to Use & Clean
Simply sprinkle food and brush it into the fabric, the layered design naturally hides it for you.
Machine washable for fast, stress-free cleaning. More enrichment for your dog, less work for you.
Happy Dogs. Happy Owners.
Enriching Every Dog's Life
Golden Pup Enrichment began with one simple mission: helping dogs live calmer, happier lives through meaningful enrichment.
As a certified dog trainer and lifelong dog lover, I’ve seen firsthand how many dogs struggle from a lack of mental stimulation. That’s why I started designing enrichment essentials that let dogs engage, think, and explore. Just as nature intended.
As a U.S. small business, we’re dedicated to creating high quality, science-backed products that truly support your dog’s wellbeing.
Frequently Asked Questions
What size dogs is this snuffle mat good for?
Our snuffle mat works for dogs of all sizes. The large surface gives small dogs plenty of space to explore, and it provides enough challenge and room for medium and large breeds as well. It is designed to meet enrichment needs even for high energy or working breeds.
Can my dog use this for full meals or just treats?
You can use it for both. The mat is large enough to hold full meals for small and medium dogs, and it slows down fast eaters in a natural, healthy way. You can also use it with treats or small snacks for enrichment sessions throughout the day.
How long will it keep my dog engaged?
Most dogs stay focused for ten to twenty minutes, depending on breed, food type, and experience level. Puppies often take even longer. This level of mental work helps calm your dog and reduces unwanted behaviors.
Is it safe for puppies and heavy chewers?
Although no toy is indestructible, our snuffle mat is safe for everyday enrichment when used as intended. The fleece is soft and gentle for daily use, and the mat is durable for regular sniffing sessions. As with any enrichment toy, supervision is recommended, especially for puppies and strong chewers who may try to chew or ingest the fabric rather than sniff.
Is the snuffle mat machine washable? How do I clean it?
Yes. Simply place it in the washer on a gentle cycle and let it air dry. The fleece stays soft and fluffy with regular use and washing.
How long does shipping take, and do you ship internationally?
We offer FREE shipping to anywhere in the United States, and most orders arrive within two to five business days. Currently, we do not offer international shipping yet, but we hope to add it soon. Thank you for your patience and please stay tuned for updates!
