A Review By Blue Belle, Canine Contributor
Hi friends, it’s me—Blue Belle!
I’m popping in today with something very important to share. You know how some dogs have a favorite ball or a favorite stick? Well, I have something even better. It’s my AWOOF Snuffle Mat, and I am absolutely in love with it. I mean, truly, madly, deeply in love. Let me tell you why.
🐾 Sniffing Is My Superpower
Humans use their eyes for everything. Dogs? We use our noses. My nose is basically my GPS, my library, my news channel, and my favorite hobby all in one.
So when Mom spreads my kibble and treats all through the big orange flower and the soft, grassy folds of my snuffle mat, it’s like she’s created a whole world for me to explore. Every sniff is a clue. Every clue leads to a treasure. And every treasure tastes delicious.
It’s the perfect game for a smart girl like me.
🌸 The Big Orange Flower Is My Happy Place
Right in the middle of the mat is this giant, fluffy flower with layers and layers of petals. Mom tucks treats deep inside, and I get to dig with my nose until I find them.
Sometimes I pretend I’m a truffle‑hunting dog in France.
Sometimes I pretend I’m on a secret mission.
Sometimes I just wiggle my tail and enjoy the moment.
No matter what, it’s always fun.
🐶 It Helps Me Slow Down (Even When I Don’t Want To)
I’ll admit it—I get excited about food. Very excited. Mom says I eat too fast sometimes, but with my snuffle mat, I can’t rush. I have to sniff, search, and savor.
It’s like turning dinner into a puzzle. A delicious puzzle. The best kind. And Mom says it helps my tummy feel better, too.
🌿 It Makes Me Feel Calm and Content
When I’m sniffing through the mat, something real cool happens. My brain gets busy, my tail relaxes, and I feel peaceful. Mom says sniffing helps dogs feel calm, and I think she’s right.
Sometimes she brings out the mat when:
- She’s working and I need something fun to do
- It’s stormy or noisy outside
- While my human’s eat their dinner
- When Mom wants me to exercise to help my leg muscles
It always helps.
🧳 It Goes Everywhere With Me
My snuffle mat is soft and foldable, so Mom can take it anywhere. I usually just use it in the front living room, but if we ever go on a vacation we can bring it on trips.
Wherever it goes, it brings the fun with it.

The AWOOF Snuffle Mat isn’t just a toy.
It’s an adventure.
It’s a brain game.
It’s comfort.
It’s joy.
And for me, Blue Belle, it’s one of the best parts of my day. Now if you’ll excuse me… I think I smell a treat hiding somewhere. Time to go sniff!

This was such a fun review to read. Blue Belle’s voice is adorable, and the whole “sniffing is my superpower” bit is so true. I also like how you explained the mat in a real way, the big orange flower, the grassy folds, and how it naturally slows dinner down while keeping their brain busy. It sounds like a perfect option for stormy days or when people need to get things done without a bored pup underfoot.
How do you usually clean it and how often, especially after using wetter treats or crumbs that get deep in the folds?
Hello Jitaru, She uses her snuffle mat almost every day and we put her dry kibble in the mat. I haven’t cleaned it yet. When I do, I’ll probably soak it in the sink or clean bathtub and hang it to dry.
The mat has held up really well.
