5 reasons to turn dinner into a sniffing game

Put their usual dry kibble among the fabric folds. Instead of finding every bite in one bowl, your dog gets to sniff and search.

One mat. Their usual food. A game you can play indoors.

01 / GIVE FOOD A HIDING PLACE

Let their nose find the next bite.

The navy and aqua fabric loops give small pieces of dry food places to hide. Scatter a portion of their usual meal, then let your dog search at their own pace.

Use part of their normal food allowance rather than adding an extra meal.

02 / START WITH AN EASY WIN

You choose how easy the hunt is.

For the first game, leave the food visible on top. Once your dog understands, tuck a few pieces farther into the folds.

Stay nearby, let them explore, and put the mat away after the food is gone.

Hide. Sniff. Find.
  1. Scatter a little dry food on top.
  2. Let your dog sniff and search.
  3. Shake out crumbs and put it away.

Supervise every session. The mat is a feeding activity, not a chew toy.

03 / BRING THE GAME INSIDE

A food hunt for days at home.

Rain outside or a quiet afternoon indoors? Spread the mat on a clear floor and turn a portion of dinner into a sniffing game.

You only need the mat and your dog’s usual dry kibble or treats.

04 / ROOM TO SPREAD THE FOOD OUT

Room to spread the food out.

The mat measures approximately 23.6 × 19.7 inches overall. Its two broad ends and curved middle hold navy and aqua fabric loops inside a gray rim and navy sidewall.

05 / WASH AND USE AGAIN

Clean it. Let it dry. Play again.

Shake out loose food after use. Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle, then air dry flat before the next game.

Check for damage before each session and take it away if your dog starts chewing the fabric.
