Snuffle Balls make mealtime fun and mentally stimulating. Dogs will enjoy puzzling over the many pockets while they snuffle around looking for morsels of treats to release, so they are busy and entertained. It also has a the added benefit of helping to lower anxiety levels by giving pups something to focus on, providing a calming effect. Snuffle Balls are also ideal for use while animals are recuperating after illness or injury by providing enrichment if they are confined in a space.

 

How to use enrichment toys

If your dog has never used an enrichment toy before, you'll need to show them how it works. This is a fun bonding experience for both dog and pawrent.

Start with just a few morsels of food and pop them in easy to find spots on the mat. Encourage your dog to "find it" and praise them when they do. Remove the mat when they've found all the food.
You can build from here, adding larger amounts of food, and even entire meals into the snuffle ball!
