Description
The Flamingo Sniffing Carpet Puppy Turtle is a small sniffing mat designed to enrich your pet's life by satisfying their natural need to seek and acquire food.
The Flamingo Sniffing Carpet Puppy Turtle is a small sniffing mat that puppies and small dogs will love. This soft, colorful turtle with rustling fins and a squeaker will provide your pet with great fun and satisfy their natural need to seek and acquire food. If your four-legged friend is a bit too greedy for treats, this turtle mat will extend the time it takes to eat treats and enrich your dog's life.
The loops on the reptile's toes are made of soft and pleasant-to-touch fleece, sewn onto fabric with raised stripes (corduroy) or dots (minky). Rubber dots (ABS) on the underside of the mat prevent the mat from slipping on smooth surfaces. Treats hidden between the "loops" encourage searching and teach concentration and focus. The turtle is machine washable (at 30°C), making it much easier to keep clean. This sniffing mat is perfect for puppies and small dogs (and cats).

Benefits of using the Flamingo Sniffing Carpet:
It keeps your puppy occupied for a longer period of time and slows down eating, especially for those with a sweet tooth. While searching for treats, your puppy's mind works hard, which positively impacts their learning abilities. It satisfies their need to sniff and track, making it ideal for training and developing their sense of smell. Remember: Dogs have a 40-times better sense of smell than humans, so playing with the Flamingo Sniffing Carpet Puppy Turtle is great fun and will make any dog's time even more enjoyable!
This type of play teaches your puppy independence and builds self-confidence. It calms, relaxes, and helps address issues with hyperactivity or anxiety. As carnivores and hunters, cats have a much more sensitive sense of smell than humans. Smell plays a crucial role during hunting, and sniffing mats for cats utilize this aspect. The reward mechanism for effort in finding a treat hidden in the mat further encourages increased sniffing. Searching for treats engages and focuses your pet's attention, and therefore... tiring. Sniffing mats are a great way to combat boredom in puppies, dogs, and cats, and to add variety to playtime at home.
Tip: Treats should not replace a puppy's meal, so control their quantity when using a sniffing mat. Note: Playtime with the sniffing mat should be supervised by a caregiver. After playing, store the mat out of reach of your pet.
