HOMEMADE SNUFFLE MATS ARE A HIT WITH DOG OWNERS

Glenys Titcomb makes her own snuffle mats and they’re a triumph

For those dog owners who want to keep their pup occupied, a snuffle mat could be
the answer.

Homemade snuffle mat creator Glenys Titcomb has taken the world of Etsy by storm
with her brightly coloured creations that provide plenty of entertainment. 

Labelled as a 'star seller' on the popular platform, Glenys from Port Talbot,
Wales, first tested out the toy on her own dog.

She said: “A couple of years ago, I had a very active and busy dog that needed a
lot of mental and physical stimulation to keep her happy.

“I wondered if making a toy that was sturdy and would withstand her enthusiasm
would help, and after experimenting with different materials, I found the
solution.

“The particular combination of sturdy mat and non pill fleece was the best, and
most robust.”

The brightly coloured mats are a great mental stimulus for pups and encourages
pets to play while sniffing and foraging.

When the bad weather strikes, snuffle mats can be a great way to let loose some
of that pent up energy.

Glenys continued: “It also helps with nervous dogs. I was sent a video by an
owner that was despairing of his overly anxious dog, and he found that playing
with her mat calmed her right down.”

To start by introducing it to your dog, scatter a handful of treats or just
their kibble on top.

Once your hungry pal gets the hang of it, their skills will improve, so you can
shuffle the kibble further down into the fleece. 

The sheer popularity of these mats is evident, and has been sent to dog owners
across the globe.

Glenys explained: “I have literally sent them all around the world, including
the US & Australia. One of my latest went to Norway, so they really are
universal.”

One review said: "These are perfect -thank you! Love the fact it’s heavyweight
which is just what's needed for enthusiastic snufflers.

Another one said: "Pumpkin absolutely adores her snuffle mat, it keeps her
entertained and slows her down when normally she would just hoover up her
treats."

It’s safe to say the positive reviews and amazing feedback are what keeps Glenys
motivated to create the mats, which take almost four hours to make.

Glenys concluded: “I simply love hearing from customers, telling me how well
received the mats have been and especially like seeing their photos & videos.

“I can use my creativity in the different colour combinations and because they
are all handmade, each and every one of them is different.”
