Snuffle Ball
How to use it
The same four steps, whichever piece of equipment you are holding.
-
Push treats into the folds
Dry treats or kibble only. Wet food will not wash out of the fleece.
-
Roll it, do not throw it
It is a searching object. Thrown fleece invites chewing.
-
Keep the session short
Take it away once the food is gone, so it stays worth searching.
-
Wash it
Machine wash on a gentle cycle and air dry.
Questions
Is it a fetch toy?
No. It is a fleece searching object. Throwing it turns it into something to chew, which is not what it is for.
Can I take it outside?
Yes, on a clean dry surface. Wet grass makes the fleece heavy and slow to dry.
How is it different from the mat?
Same idea, less capacity. The mat is 69 × 53 cm and holds a whole dry meal; the ball is 15 × 15 cm and holds a handful of treats.
Can it go in the tumble dryer?
No. Air dry it.
