PawzNDogz

PawzNDogz makes premium snuffle mats and lick mats for dogs, cats, and small pets across Canada and beyond. The woman owned brand turns ordinary mealtimes into sniffing, foraging, and licking sessions that calm anxious pets and slow down fast eaters.

Founder Smriti launched PawzNDogz at the end of 2019 in Acton, Ontario, after searching for a way to keep her dog Princess mentally engaged. Her background spans science, engineering, business, and biology, and she channeled that training into designing enrichment mats grounded in canine behavior rather than novelty.

Each snuffle mat uses pet safe tested materials, a non slip suction base, and dense fabric layers that hide treats for dogs to root out with their nose. The anti bite snuffle mat line adds thick cotton polyester webbing similar to leash material for dogs who chew hard. Every mat fits in a mesh laundry bag and goes straight into the washing machine, so cleanup never becomes a chore.

The catalog also covers lick mats, cat and small pet enrichment mats, and yak cheese puff treats, giving pet parents a full toolkit for canine enrichment at home. A Karen Pryor Academy Certified Training Partner has endorsed the mats for behavioral work, and the brand has built a base of nearly a thousand customer reviews along the way. PawzNDogz products now sit on shelves in over 1200 stores worldwide and ship internationally straight from Canada.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can snuffle mats replace a dog's regular food bowl entirely?

Many owners use a snuffle mat for every meal once their dog adjusts, though vets generally suggest rotating between a mat and a bowl so eating pace stays flexible across different routines.

Do snuffle mats work for dogs with a strong food allergy or limited diet?

Yes, since the mat only hides whatever food the owner places inside it, so a dog on a limited ingredient or allergy specific diet can use the same mat safely with their prescribed kibble.

How long does it take a dog to master a snuffle mat?

Most dogs pick up the basic sniff and search motion within their first two or three sessions, though the pace depends on the dog's food drive and prior exposure to puzzle-style feeding.

What is the typical price range for a quality snuffle mat in Canada?

Well made snuffle mats built from durable webbing and dense fabric usually fall between 40 and 90 Canadian dollars, with price scaling by size, chew resistance, and design complexity.

Is a snuffle mat safe to leave with a dog overnight?

No, enrichment mats are designed for supervised sessions only, and owners should remove the mat once the dog finishes searching rather than leaving it out unattended for extended stretches.
