Calm Clean Companion Nosework Snuffle Mat

A plush board covered in soft fabric food — pastries, cheese, a little wine bottle — that lift off and tuck back in. You hide treats underneath the pieces and hand it to your dog to work out.

It is the simplest way to give a dog a real job indoors. Ten minutes of searching does more to settle a wound-up dog than half an hour of fetch.

What you get

• Several removable plush pieces, each hiding a different sized pocket
• Rearrange the pieces to change the difficulty once your dog works it out
• Soft fabric throughout — no hard parts

Honest limits

Supervise it. This is a foraging toy, not a chew toy, and a dog left alone with it may decide the fabric is the interesting part. The small removable pieces are the bit to watch — pick them up when the session is over. Shake it out after each use so old treats don't sit in the folds.
