My granddaughter asked me to sew a snuffle mat. Hers also had different pockets. I tried it out on Coco and she was not too interested in the pockets, but loved looking for treats among the fabric strips So I made her her own. Keeps her busy for a while

Coco most certainly thinks it is fun.

Every dog owner should have one of these.

Sewpam, I think you need to make this for Pepper.

I first did the top by sewing all the layers of strips. After that I sewed it like a single pillow case and inserted and old cutting mat. This way I can wash the mat and yet have it flat on the ground

My dog loves his snuffy mat...however he's learned how to efficiently search for treats. If it takes him two minutes to find all the treats, I'd be surprised. it's a good tool for "nose work!"

Coco keeps going back hoping she had missed some.

I also had never heard of a snuffle so I'm glad you taught me something new. What a great idea! I'd say Coco agrees and says thanks Mom.

She loves looking for treats and Vet said it is a good toy.

I did not know anything about them till granddaughter showed me a picture of one being sold at Amazon. Good old YouTube showed me how to sew one.

I’ve never heard of these mats. I like the bright colors and rag look. Maybe if she has this to entertain herself, you can sew more.😉

as Coco is busy you can be busy doing other things .... she loves the mat, but probably the treats even more. the mat looks great !!

I also have to be careful so she will not gain any weight.

Coco loves the snuffle mat!! Or perhaps it is the hidden treats she loves!!
It is very colorful!! We will need to see the one you make for your Granddaughter!!! Hugs to you!! Laura

I can not show the one I made for my granddaughters dogs. I have a video of it that I can not post here. Maybe I can take a screenshot
