About This Item

Details

  • Helps slow down eating and provides mental stimulation for dogs and cats—just 15 minutes of foraging can burn as much energy as a walk!
  • Stimulates most of your pet’s senses and rewards persistence with food or treats.
  • The feeder’s SoftSnout material is soft enough to use every day and won’t irritate noses, tongues, or gums.
  • Fully machine washable so you can sanitize it, unlike some plastic feeders that can harbor bacteria and be difficult to clean
  • This mat cinches easily for storage and travel.

Knowing that pets aren't always the cleanest eaters, we do recommend washing your Forager Bowl after using the product a few times.

The description mentions it's "washable" - great! Does it go in the washing machine?

To wash; prep the mat by securing the included strap to the back of the Forager Mat. Gentle wash with cold water, (avoid using bleach or fabric softer). The mat may be Machine dried on Gentle, (for a longer lifespan, hang dry or dry flat).

Great for rabbits

I got this as a forage mat for my sister's rabbits and they love it. It's great for enrichment and they also use it as a bed.

This is a great first snuffle mat. It's not particularly challenging, and we have since upgraded to a larger and more complex snuffle mat for our very smart Brittany, but we still use this one when we're travelling or in a rush. It's soft but durable, and it washes well (in a mesh laundry bag on delicate!).

Cali loves her new mat! We use this for treats, not for food. She loves searching for her treats and often goes back to it to get more. Really helps her with her natural instincts to forage through grass for treats.

I had one of the round mats for my senior chi and it worked really well so I picked up the square mat for my chowhound minpin to try and slow her down while eating. Within a few washes, the strings on the edges started coming out. It also doesn't do much to slow her down, but she does love to leave her chew treats on it. The cats think it makes a great place to sit.

Good quality and size

I would give 4.5 stars if possible because getting the kibble really hidden takes a bit of massaging. My guess is with the loop ones it might fall to the bottom better. But my dog (pit/hound) gets so into sniffing out her kibble and treats it’s worth the extra effort. Also a good size, lots are too small.

The slow feeder did slow my lab down, however after snuffling for the food the feeder was wet, slimy and disgusting. I would wash it after each meal because it just was dirty. If you don’t have a dog who drools and slobbers it might be fine. I went back to the plastic slow feeder instead

I have to wash it all the time because Skyler loves getting his treats in it and he kind of drools a lot. It’s a great buy for the price after Skyler goes to the bathroom outside. He goes to his snuffle rug because he likes me to put things in it for him to hunt.

Even after he went blind, my senior dog would inhale his dog food in under 3 minutes. (He was convinced I was starving him after vet put him on a diet.) This mat keeps his attention for at least 30 minutes. I originally was concerned that he would be confused by it, but the lure of food definitely won out!
