What do weird looking mats have to do with your senior dog? As your sweet pup ages, you may find that you both have a lot more time on your hands. Walkies get shorter and chew toys will tire out sensitive teeth faster. But we won’t let the good times end without a fight.
Just because your dog is older, it doesn’t mean he has to settle for sitting around watching the grass grow all day. Your days together may be more naps and less play, but the fun doesn’t have to stop! You can still fill your dog’s golden years with all the excitement he experienced every moment as a pup! Weird looking mats to the rescue!
Sniff Diggy™ mental stimulation mats are more than just “weird looking mats” – they’re hours of shared fun and bonding opportunities for you and your dog! K9 nose work can open up a whole world of benefits for dogs of any age and their loving parents. Not only do dogs hone their scent skills, they build confidence and bond with their people while they’re at it! It also provides physical and mental stimulation for your pup, but in the comfort of his home. If his walks are wearing out his body but leave him eager for more mental stimulation, the Sniff Diggy™ snuffle mat will allow him to find it at a pace that works for him!
The unique appearance of these weird looking mats is for more than just show – it’s functional! You’ll hide treats inside the bunches of colorful cloth, and your dog will sniff them out, and then dig them out! You can cheer him along and help him find the ones he can smell but can’t locate, and you can extend the game by hiding more treats while he’s got his nose buried in the mat!

Fun and games aren’t just for young pups – our old dogs are still puppies at heart. They still crave mental and physical stimulation, and shared time with their parents like they always did!
