Snuffle mats for furbabies
(1)
Dogs got a quick bath today (not easy when neither of them particularly like that activity) and food cooked and prepped for this week (transitioning over to real food and ditching the kibble)... why do I still feel like I didn't get much done this weekend? 🤣
Accurate af 🤣
I swear officer, they are pre-measured supplements 🤣
When your human makes you your own U shaped pillow so you stop stealing theirs 🤣
THIS is one of many reasons I named my shop the way I did 🤣
He's retirement age so I can't fuss too much but damn he's the worst office assistant, sleeping on the job 🤣
Not sure what other boss would furnish a mattress for mid day naps...🤣🤣🤣
When all those years of shopping at Hot Topic and owning a collection of corsets comes in handy in another area of life 🤣
Who else is working on dog anxiety being home alone? 🙋
We are up to 3 hours comfortably 🎉
We're not just about the HOW-to-feed over here, I also believe strongly that WHAT you put in your body affects all your internal systems.
Watched this webinar last night and LOVED it (and if you know me, getting me to stay focused on a webinar is difficult lol).
Even if you don't believe in raw feeding (love the concept but haven't done it over here), this session is packed full of great info on supplementing your pup's diet.
Nutrition impacts everything we do, and the same is true for our dogs. Join us for a conversation with Stephanie Garza, CPDT-KA, CBCC-KA, and CPCN, to learn ...
Kane's most pampered point of the day... head covered (a must before he'll settle and sleep), paws propped up on me, snoring like he's the one that just worked 40 hours this week....🙄🤣

🟢 Brain injuries can come from open OR closed head trauma.

I'm constantly preaching KNOW YOUR DOG.
What you see pictured is the work of my 2 year old block head.
I've always stored the snuffle mats on top of the crates in a rolled position to help dry the slobber in between meals (big dogs, big jowls, lots of drool 🤣).
I made this snuffle mat using bar mat type material for the base. It's durable. While nothing is 100% bite proof for a determined dog, this has held up for over a year.
Yes I take it when he's done eating. Since he was a puppy hes been good about not pulling things into his crate when throwing a fit.
This morning while we had his brother out on a walk after breakfast however, he was more BIG MAD than usual about it and well, this was the result.
Again, know your dog. Each dog has different strengths and abilities. And if anyone needs me I'll be making a new snuffle mat and building a solid top for his crate ...🙄
Kane said its friggin cold 🤣. Im not sure he could get into a tighter ball lmao
That side eye though...🤣
I've had people ask me, "if you don't trust one of your dogs with your snuffle mats how do I know they're safe for my dog?"
Let me preface this with every dog is different.
My oldest is an extremely gentle eater. He doesn't mind savoring his food, even when we've "starved" him (his words after 6 hours in between meals, not mine lol).
My youngest? Not so much. He's 2 and a half, 75 lbs, with a big blocky head, a huge mouth, and when he wants it, he wants it NOW. There's no savoring the flavor nor is there is such a thing in his world as chewing his food before swallowing.
The youngest is the one I don't trust with my snuffle mats... and ONLY because of his eating style, combined with his physical traits. Hell, even if he was 5lbs... with his eating style I still don't think Id trust him with a silicone snuffle mat. He's SUCH a violent eater that I made his fabric snuffle mat using heavy duty shop floormats (similar to what you'd find in a commercial kitchen) and he still managed to break that mat within a week.
We are working on him being left alone while we take his brother for walks. I love these hard plastic licky mats we have as they hold up well to freezing. After today, though, the ONLY thing he'll be able to be left alone with are his monster kongs (I have to purchase the largest size for his fathead 🤣). Thank goodness he's a spitter and not a swallower 🤣
So yes, I stand behind my product but you have to know your dog and their eating style.
Best hack ever for prepping dog meals that go in the fridge.
I got tired of fighting with plastic wrap that never sticks.
Dollar store shower caps for the win 🎉
When your pampered pooch is throwing up and you have to RUN to the store for pumpkin and give 0 f%$ # about what shoes you threw on...🤣
Pro tip:
By ditching bowl feeding altogether I've been able to repurpose the dog bowls into mini garbage receptacles 🤣
I sometimes forget that not everyone uses snuffle mats....
I have dogs with big feelings and, at the suggestion of our behaviorist, implemented enrichment to help them deal with big feelings.
If you have a dog (or dogs) with big feelings and haven't tried a snuffle mat, check out my short ebook on snuffle mats and reactivity!
Every. Friggin. Time.....🤣
Not me over here creating new shop items (stay tuned 🎉) while the youngest freeloader stays comfy and warm in his blankie and 2nd favorite chair...I think I'm getting the side eye for getting rid of his 1st favorite chair 🤣
EVERY time....
If you order a snuffle mat in the next couple of weeks... I'm just saying...🤣
