When you live with a chaotic Springer Spaniel on reduced exercise, enrichment activities become your best friend. Snuffle balls are one of Harley's favourites! They channel those sniffing instincts whilst encouraging gentle movement and creating more of a challenge compared to a traditional snuffle mat (which are also great fun BTW).
I am VERY excited to be one of the first stockists of snuffles from Nova Zeal. Nicole makes beautiful, functional and amazing quality enrichment toys, and these snuffle balls are no exception. Handcrafted with love and made from high-quality fleece, they’re soft on your dog’s nose but tough enough to withstand plenty of foraging fun.
Tuck in some of your dog’s favourite dry treats (or kibble), then let them snuffle away! Perfect for rainy days, restricted exercise or simply adding a little extra enrichment to your dog's routine.
Snuffle balls are currently available in three different sizes...
Tiny - approx. 6cm
Mini - approx. 8cm
Medium - approx. 13cm
Sizes may vary slightly. Make sure you check that you're ordering the correct size for your dog and drop me a message if you need any advice. Here is some more info to give you an idea:
- Tiny snuffles are perfects for Chihuahuas and Poms.
- Mini snuffles are great for small Terriers or Cavaliers
- Medium snuffles are ideal for Spaniels and Beagles.
Just select the different options to see the designs currently available.
❤️ Why Dog Parents Love Them:
✔ Mental stimulation - engages natural sniffing instincts.
✔ Entertainment - great for dogs on limited exercise.
✔ Handmade in Scotland - with care, love and quality materials by Nova Zeal.
✔ Machine washable - at 30c (do not tumble dry).
Finding the right treats for your snuffle ball can increase the fun! The texture of Anco Trainers and Paddock Farm Training Treats make them a perfect choice. For tiny dogs with tiny snuffles, try the brand new Anco Nibbles (we've checked and you can fit 20-25 nibbles in a tiny snuffle)!
🐾 Play it safe: Always supervise your dog while they’re using enrichment toys. Check regularly for wear and replace if needed.
