Flamingo Sniffing Carpet Puppy Whale (38cm) - Crinkle Whale Sniffing Mat for Puppies & Small Dogs

Flamingo Sniffing Carpet Puppy Whale is a small sniffing mat that will be loved by puppies, small dogs, and cats. This soft, pink, crinkly whale with loops and an extra hidden pocket in the fin will provide your pet with great fun while satisfying their natural need to search for and forage food.

If your small four-legged friend devours treats too eagerly, this whale mat will extend the time it takes to consume treats and enrich your dog's daily life. The loops on one half of the toy are made from soft, pleasant-to-touch fleece sewn onto plush fabric. Treats hidden between the loops encourage searching and teach focus and concentration. The entire whale crinkles (to attract and hold a puppy's attention), and you can hide an extra treat in the pocket on the fin. Many dogs and cats will also enjoy the string with loops, which can be tugged and hunted. On the underside of the mat, rubber dots (ABS) prevent sliding on smooth surfaces. The whale is machine washable (at 30°C), making it very easy to keep clean. This sniffing mat is ideal for puppies, small dogs, and cats.

Benefits of using the Flamingo sniffing mat:

• keeps your pet occupied for an extended period,
• slows down eating, especially for greedy eaters,
• searching for treats engages the puppy's mind, which positively supports their learning abilities,
• satisfies the need to sniff and track,
• provides ideal training and development of the sense of smell.

Keep in mind:

• A dog's sense of smell is 40 times better than a human's, which is why playing with the Flamingo Sniffing Carpet Puppy Whale is a great joy for any dog! This type of play teaches puppies independence and builds their confidence. It calms, relaxes, and also helps address issues with hyperactivity or fearfulness.
• As a carnivore and a hunter, a cat has a sense of smell far more sensitive than a human's. Scent plays a vital role during hunting, and sniffing mats for cats take advantage of this instinct. The reward mechanism for the effort put into finding a treat hidden in the mat further encourages active sniffing.
• Searching for treats engages and focuses your pet's attention, and as a result, it also tires them out. Sniffing mats are an excellent way to combat boredom in puppies, dogs, and cats, and to add variety to playtime at home.

Tip:

• Treats should not replace your puppy's regular meals, so monitor the amount of treats you use with the sniffing mat.

Warning!

• Play with the sniffing mat should always take place under the owner's supervision. After the play session is over, store the mat in a place that is out of your pet's reach.
