Sniffing and foraging are natural dog behaviours. Providing our dogs with opportunities to express these behaviours can help them to feel calmer and more content.

Snuffle balls are a wonderful way to enrich your dog’s day by providing an interesting sniffing opportunity while indoors.

Simply stuff dry food or treats between the folds for your dog to snuffle out. You can refill to provide a sustained slow-feeding activity at mealtimes.

This rewarding foraging activity acts as a simple yet satisfying brain game for dogs, helping to keep them mentally stimulated between walks.

Portable for use out-and-about.

  • Activate calm sniffing in different environments.
  • Settle in more stimulating environments (cafes, pubs, public transport, visiting friends & family etc.)
  • Refocus them into a productive activity as and when needed.

As snuffle balls are an easy enrichment activity, they can be useful for slow-feeding and building confidence in dogs who are new to interactive puzzles and brain games.

  • 20cm (X-large) with 36 pockets
  • Handstitched with OEKO-TEX® cert. fabric
  • Eco mailer

Handmade to order

Please allow 1-4 working days for dispatch.

How to use

Simply hide dry food or treats inside the fabric folds.

This turns mealtime or snack time into a fun, scent-driven puzzle, keeping your dog calm, focused and mentally stimulated as they sniff out the hidden goodies.

Care

Gentle (non-spin) machine wash at 30 degrees using dog-safe detergent. Air dry.

Safety

Always supervise your dog during play. This toy is designed for sniffing and treat extraction - not for chewing.

Regularly check for signs of wear and tear. If the fabric becomes damaged, remove the toy immediately, as loose threads or pieces could pose a choking risk.

Out & about

"I always pack our snuffleball from Calm Dog Games for longer train journeys, just to give her something to do.

I used it a lot when we practiced settle work earlier in her assistance dog training and it was a lifesaver. I don’t rely on it anymore to actually settle her, I just use it as a nice reward.

Snuffle balls are also great for everyday enrichment! I usually give Floyd one everyday as sniffing is calming to dogs and it helps him when he’s feeling anxious about something. ~@roamingrotties 

  • Mental Stimulation (Sustained Sniffing)

    A dog’s world is guided by their nose and sniffing is one of the most powerful ways to provide daily mental enrichment.

    Snuffle toys offer an opportunity for calm sniffing, encouraging focused sniffing and problem-solving right at home.

    Vary the treats you hide (dry food, fish skins, cheese pieces, etc.) to introduce new smells, tastes, and textures - keeping your dog curious, engaged and fulfilled.

  • Instinctual Play

    The Forager’s Plait taps into your dog’s natural foraging instincts and playfulness.

    They can pounce, push, paw and seek out the treats.

    Perfect for dogs who love pulling stuffing out of toys or need an independent play outlet.

  • Enriched Slow Feeding

    Most slow-feeding bowls reduce gulping but lack true mental stimulation.

    The Forager’s Plait does both - slowing meals and offering an engaging puzzle that involves choice, problem-solving and natural behaviours.

    It’s enrichment with purpose - turning mealtime into a mentally nourishing experience.

Brilliant!

My dog loves this. I thought some of the treats might drop out when she shook/rolled it but they stay inside the folds. She finds it more challenging than the Plait and often unintentionally leaves a few treats inside so that when she goes back to it to play with it, she ‘finds’ more! It holds a huge amount of treats if you put one in each fold but this is not essential. Some folds are more challenging than others, which is great too. It’s very well made like the Plait and is easy to wash and keep clean. Well worth the price - I’m going to buy another for my daughter’s dog in America.
