Explore • Sniff • Travel

Take calm enrichment wherever your adventures lead with the Nova Zeal Small Snuffle Mat. Thoughtfully designed for life on the go, this compact enrichment toy encourages natural sniffing, foraging and focused play whether you're at home, on holiday or enjoying a day out together.

Simply tuck dry treats or kibble between the soft fleece strips and let your pet sniff, search and explore at their own pace. This calming activity helps reduce boredom, supports emotional regulation and provides a familiar enrichment routine wherever you are.

Each Small Snuffle Mat is handmade in the Scottish Highlands using anti-pill fleece for softness, durability and long-lasting enrichment. Every mat also includes a small carabiner, making it easy to attach to a bag when travelling or secure in place inside a crate.

Available in a range of Nova Zeal colour collections, with new seasonal palettes introduced throughout the year, you can choose the style that best suits you and your pet.
