Cool Pocket Snuffle Ball for Dogs & Small Pets – Travel Enrichment Toy

Explore • Forage • Thrive

Bring purposeful play into your pet’s routine with the Nova Zeal Pocket Snuffle Ball, a compact version of classic enrichment designed for smaller pets and enrichment on the go. 

This compact fleece snuffle ball encourages natural foraging behaviour, engaging your pet's brain through gentle scent-based play. Simply tuck dry treats or kibble between the soft fleece folds, and let your pet sniff, search and explore at their own pace.

Sniffing is naturally calming for many animals and provides valuable mental stimulation. The pocket size makes it perfect for short enrichment sessions, travel days, or introducing scent games to smaller pets.

Each Pocket Snuffle Ball is handmade in the Scottish Highlands using soft anti-pill fleece for durability, comfort and long-lasting enrichment play.

The Cool Collection

This design draws inspiration from the movement and freshness of the ocean, with waves rolling across the shoreline. Like the sea, enrichment play has its own rhythm, with dogs naturally sniffing, searching and exploring as they move through the fleece layers.

Blue and cool tones translate beautifully into fleece, creating calm balanced palette that echoes the shifting colours of sea and sky.

The result is a visually striking enrichment ball that blends thoughtful design with purposeful play.

Together, the Cool and Warm collections reflect two sides of the natural landscape, from the calm movement of the sea to the richness and warmth of forested hills.

Each Pocket Snuffle Ball is handmade in the Scottish Highlands and measures:

Pocket approx. 6cm (2.5")

• Great for toy breed dogs and puppies
