Dog Snuffle Ball – Fleece Nose Work Toy, 2 Sizes
Ten minutes of sniffing tires a dog more than half an hour of running, because scent work uses far more of the brain. This snuffle ball is built for exactly that: it is a fleece ball with dense folds, you tuck treats or kibble into them, and your dog has to nose and paw them out. It comes in S and M, and in a wide choice of colours.
Why pet owners choose it
- ✔ Nose work — sniffing tires a dog mentally
- ✔ Slows eating — food has to be found, not swallowed
- ✔ Soft fleece — gentle on noses and paws
- ✔ Two sizes — S and M
- ✔ Machine friendly — washable after muddy use

Which size suits your dog?
Size S works for small breeds, puppies and older dogs, and it is the easier one to fill because the folds are tighter, so treats stay put. Size M suits medium and large dogs, and holds more food, which makes it the better choice for a whole meal rather than a snack. Start with something easy to find so your dog learns what the snuffle ball is for — a first attempt with treats buried deep just teaches a dog to give up.
Care
Empty the ball out after every use, then shake it and let it air before storing, because damp fleece left in a ball goes musty. Machine wash on a gentle cycle when it gets muddy or greasy, and air dry it completely rather than tumble drying, which mats the fleece and closes up the folds that make the toy work. Check the seams and stitches periodically and take it away if your dog starts ripping the fabric rather than nosing it.
What’s in the box
1 x dog snuffle ball in fleece, in your chosen size and colour.

Frequently Asked Questions
You tuck treats or kibble into the fleece folds and your dog has to nose and paw them out. The searching is what tires it, not the eating.
S for small breeds, puppies and older dogs. M for medium and large dogs, and it holds enough for a full meal rather than just a snack.
It can hold a meal in the M size, and many owners use it a few times a week instead of a bowl. Always supervise while your dog is learning to use it.
Supervise at first and reward nosing rather than chewing. A dog that rips the fabric should be given an easier hiding challenge instead.
Only once you know your dog works it rather than chews it. Fleece can be swallowed if a dog starts tearing pieces away.
Empty it, shake it out, then machine wash on a gentle cycle. Air dry completely — a tumble dryer mats the fleece and closes the folds.
✔ Heavy glazed ceramic

✔ Seven colours available
✔ Does not absorb odours
✔ Rinse-clean surface
• Press the bowl into the bedding so it sits level
• Rinse and refill daily
• Wash with warm soapy water every few days
