Does your dog eat too fast? Scarfing food is very common for dogs, and while it does not mean that there is anything wrong with your pooch, it can sometimes lead to digestion troubles and discomfort. Slowing down your dog’s eating could mean giving them small meals throughout the day, or finding an accessory that helps them to slow down. For snacks and treats, an interactive feeding experience like a pet snuffle mat might be just what they need for a more fun experience!
This kind of mat is built to lay down on the floor in your pet’s feeding area and comes equipped with many different spaces where you can tuck and hide dry food and treats away. By making your dog sniff out and dig out the treats, you are engaging their brains in creative problem solving while also ensuring that they slow down. The best interactive mat is going to be machine washable for easy cleanup, and it should have a non-slip backing that keeps it from sliding around as your puppy snuffles for their treats. This kind of fun play is something that your dog will definitely love. You will also appreciate the way that it helps them to slow down and savor their food!
