Snuffle mat size guide: which garden fits your dog
A mat that's too small gets cleared in one sweep; a mat that's too big for a tiny dog just becomes a bed. Size it to your dog's head and stride, then pick the difficulty. Here's how our mats line up.
Toy and small dogs
The drawstring snuffle bowl mat and the 19.7 x 19.7 in 3-level puzzle mat. Compact, easy to pack, and the bowl shape stops kibble from escaping the edges.
Medium dogs
The 28 x 28 in Big Flower mat, the 27.5 x 15.7 in nosework mat or the flower garden mat. Room for a proper search, and bonus games for experienced noses.
Large dogs
The 34.6 x 19.6 in large dog snuffle mat and the 29.5 x 18.8 in bone game mat. Long lawns that a big head can't clear in one pass.
Two dogs, one meal
The large dog mat and the bone game mat both work for two dogs at once. Put each dog's food on their own end, and supervise the first few meals.
Dogs who circle
Round designs like the roll-up sunburst suit dogs who spin as they sniff. Straight-line sniffers prefer rectangles.
When in doubt, go one size up. A little extra lawn keeps the search going longer.
