FAQ's🐾
How do I use SniffQuest?
Simply hide treats or kibble throughout the mat's different pockets and layers, then let your dog sniff, search, and explore to find them.
Is SniffQuest suitable for puppies?
Absolutely. SniffQuest is a fantastic way to channel puppy energy into healthy mental stimulation while encouraging natural sniffing and problem-solving skills.
Can I use my dog's regular kibble?
Yes! SniffQuest works perfectly with kibble, treats, or a combination of both. Many pet parents use it to turn mealtime into a more engaging experience.
How long will it keep my dog occupied?
Every dog is different, but most dogs stay engaged for 10–20 minutes depending on their experience, motivation, and the difficulty of the setup.
Does it help slow down fast eaters?
Yes. By hiding food throughout the mat, dogs naturally eat more slowly as they sniff and search, instead of gulping food from a bowl.
Is it good for rescue dogs?
Definitely. Sniffing activities can help build confidence, encourage exploration, and provide a positive outlet for nervous or newly adopted dogs.
What size dogs is SniffQuest suitable for?
SniffQuest is designed for puppies and small-to-medium sized dogs, but many larger dogs enjoy using it as an enrichment activity too.
Is the mat machine washable?
Yes. Simply place it in the washing machine on a gentle cycle and allow it to air dry before use.
Why is sniffing important for dogs?
Dogs experience the world through their nose. Sniffing provides mental stimulation, encourages natural behaviours, and can help transform excess energy into calm, rewarding engagement.
My dog has lots of toys already. Why do they need this?
Most toys provide physical stimulation. SniffQuest provides mental stimulation. Just 10–15 minutes of focused sniffing can be surprisingly tiring and rewarding for many dogs.
