DIY Snuffle Mat Ideas for Feeding Fresh Food

Snuffle mats aren’t just for kibble! These fluffy, foraging-friendly tools are perfect for serving real, fresh food when you want to slow down eating, boost mental stimulation, and beat boredom—even in the summer heat.

Today, let’s talk about how to make or use a snuffle mat for more than just dry food—because dogs thrive when they get to sniff, search, and work for their meals.

🐽 Why Use a Snuffle Mat?

• Encourages natural foraging behavior

• Slows fast eaters and prevents gulping

• Activates the brain = a calmer dog post-meal

• Great for rainy days, crate time, or travel

• Can reduce anxiety through sniffing enrichment
