I'm a big fan of snuffle mats! Ginsburg is super food and scent motivated so it's a win/win for enrichment for her!
Im definately making this for my chihuahuas fun idea and easy im not very handy lol
Great idea!
This sounds like a good idea for some middle-aged, or senior dogs. :3

yes! so perfect for all of you!
Fun idea - I might try it, although my little dog is a chewer so she might mess this up lol. She does love 'treat hide 'n seek' games though

Definitely supervise this one because you don't want her to ingest any of the strips. Canine enrichment is always more fun when we participate together, it's a great bonding activity :)
Thanks for the video! How do you recommend cleaning it though?

This one with the fleece and sink mat back can be handwashed with gentle non-toxic soap and lay flat or hang to dry - ideally in a sunny spot! But I don't wash it that often, we use it once or twice a week and realistically wash once a quarter.
This is really cool! If you ever decide to sell these, let me know. Not a DIYer but I think Rex could use a snuffle mat. Maybe Roxy too. I would rather give my money to you than Amazon. 😊

You could totally do this!!! Even if you're not a DIYer :) I'm not going to sell them, but there's a ton of people on Etsy making these and other cool things like snuffle balls

@@ToriMistick I could…but I likely won’t lol. But thanks for the tip re Etsy! Fabulous idea!! 😊😊
How do you wash them with the sink mat as a base.

You can handwash this in the sink and hang to dry - if you can hang it out in the sun, that would be best! But it's fleece, so it won't really hold water.
I got one of these but my dog finds all the treats in like 1 min

that's ok! It's not supposed to be a super long lasting activity. You can make it more challenging by having your dog wait in another room while you fill the snuffle mat, then hide the mat in a room and they will have to scent it out before playing with it. There are TONS of ways to make scent work new and exciting
