Flamingo Sniffing Carpet Puppy Whale is a small sniffing mat that your puppy, small dog, or cat will love. The soft, pink, crinkly whale with loops and an additional pocket in its fin will provide your pet with great fun and satisfy their natural needs for searching and foraging for food. If your little four-legged friend devours treats too greedily, this whale mat will extend the time it takes to enjoy treats and enrich your dog's life. The loops on half of the toy are made from soft and pleasant-to-touch fleece, sewn onto plush material. Treats hidden between the loops encourage searching, teaching concentration and focus. The entire whale crinkles (to entice and keep the puppy's attention), and you can hide an extra treat in the pocket of the fin. Many dogs and cats will also be attracted to the string with loops, which can be tugged and hunted. The bottom of the mat has rubber dots (ABS) to reduce slipping on smooth surfaces. You can wash the whale in the washing machine (at 30°C), which makes it much easier to keep clean. This sniffing mat is perfect for puppies and small dogs (and cats). Features of the Flamingo Sniffing Carpet Puppy Whale: 21 rows of loops for hiding treats, suitable for dry treats and kibble, entirely crinkly, pocket in the fin for larger treats, string for tugging and hunting, small size of 38cm in length, for puppies, small dogs, and cats, ABS on the bottom of the mat, machine washable (30°C), cute design: whale. Benefits of using the Flamingo sniffing mat: provides longer engagement, slows down eating, especially for greedy eaters, encourages mental exertion while searching for treats, which positively impacts learning abilities, satisfies sniffing and tracking needs, and is ideal for training and developing the sense of smell. Remember: A dog has a sense of smell 40 times better than a human, so playing with the Flamingo Sniffing Carpet Puppy Whale is a great joy that will brighten any dog's day! This type of play teaches puppies independence and builds confidence. It calms, relaxes, and helps address issues with hyperactivity or anxiety. Cats, as carnivores and hunters, have a sense of smell that is much more sensitive than that of humans. The sense of smell plays a crucial role during hunting, and this aspect is utilized by sniffing mats for cats. The reward mechanism for the effort put into finding the treat hidden in the mat additionally encourages increased sniffing. Searching for treats engages and focuses your pet's attention, which also tires them out. Sniffing mats are an excellent way to combat puppy, dog, and cat boredom and diversify home playtime. Tip: Treats should not replace a puppy's meals, so monitor their quantity when using the sniffing mat. Note! Play with the sniffing mat should be supervised by an adult. After playtime, store the mat in a place inaccessible to the pet.
