Description
The Flamingo Sniffing Carpet Puppy Whale is a delightful sniffing mat designed to entertain puppies, small dogs, and cats by satisfying their natural need to seek and acquire food.
The Flamingo Sniffing Carpet Puppy Whale is a small sniffing mat that puppies, small dogs, and cats will love. The soft, pink, rustling whale with loops and an additional hiding place in the fin will provide your pet with great fun and satisfy their natural need to seek and acquire food. If your little four-legged friend is a bit too greedy for treats, this whale mat will extend the time it takes to eat treats and enrich your dog's life. The loops on half of the toy are made of soft, pleasant-to-touch fleece sewn onto plush. Treats hidden between the "loops" encourage searching, teach concentration, and focus. The entire whale rustles (to encourage and maintain your puppy's attention), and you can hide an extra treat in the pocket on the fin. Many dogs and cats will also enjoy the looped string that can be tugged and chased. Rubber dots (ABS) on the underside of the mat prevent slipping on smooth surfaces. The whale 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, slows down eating, especially for those with a sweet tooth, and 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 Whale is a blast 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.
