Rainbow 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 small 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 Rainbow Collection

Bright, playful and full of colour, the Rainbow design celebrates curiosity and joyful enrichment. 

Each Rainbow Pocket Snuffle Ball is made using vibrant fleece colours layered together to create a lively and eye-catching enrichment toy.

Designed to encourage sniffing, exploring and problem solving, the Rainbow collection reflects Nova Zeal's belief that enrichment can be both purposeful and visually joyful.
