I've been dreading this post for a while but it is time. In late November the mat I use to tie the fabric to has gone out of stock and my inkling is that it has been discontinued. I contacted Target and they let me know it will be back in stock, but 8 weeks later, it is not and I think it's unlikely it will be in stock again.

After trying different plastic mats, I've been really unhappy with all the alternatives and have made the decision to stop making snufflemats for the time being. My hope is to get in touch with someone at Target in manufacturing, and either work directly with them, or purchase the mold and then work with the manufacturer.

If anyone has any contacts at Target that'd be incredible (but I'm also not holding my breath). I'm super bummed about this, and I'm really sorry for the disappointment.

New snufflemat! I had a lot of greens left over and while I was going for forest colors, it ended up having an army vibe.

35.00 + shipping

New fabric for snufflemats and crate mats! Current plan is to make snufflemats out of the bottom 3 and crate mats for the top 2! However, the fabric is still intact so I could be flexible!

Order now to get your dog supplies and gifts before the holiday!

We are still around! Life got busy with work and puppy raising but we are still open for requests! If you need a snufflemat or a crate mat, reach out to me and I can get it done by the holidays.

We will be at the MPLS Pet Market this Saturday! Come say hi if you're in the area!

Send me a message if you are interested in making a purchase :) I am currently open to custom snufflemats, though I do have a few on hand ready to go.

Each Snufflemat (17 x 13 in) is 35 dollars for local pick up (Minneapolis/ St. Paul, MN) or I am able to ship within the US.

I also make crate mats! The standard size is 36 x 24 in, but I can make them smaller. They typically run 25 dollars a piece.

Hello everyone! We have a very small announcement to make. The next two weeks we will be holding a fundraiser- 25 percent of our profits will be going to Lucky Paws Midwest . It is a rescue organization that we have been a part of for many years, and during this time of need (with a HUGE influx of animals being abandoned, returned, given up) this felt like the best way to help them out.

Starting July 1 and going through July 15- 25 percent of all profits will be donated to the rescue. If you would like to donate more please check out their page and help them out!

Two snufflemats freshly made! I'm planning on making a few more and will be posting what's available for the general public next week! That being said, if you see one you like please let me know because I can always make more of any designs that you see!

19/05/2022

We have been quiet the last month as both humans and animals alike are battling health issues. For those who have purchased one of our items please post a picture of your pet enjoying the crate mat or snuffle mat :) I really enjoy these!

I'm hoping to make some more crate mats and snufflemats in the next week, and will be posting more available items soon!

19/04/2022

Some new fabrics! I'll be making some more mats this week. Let me know if you want a certain size and I'll see if I can make it work :)

Overall a great day at our first vending event! Lots of stuff left over, and I'll be posting these items as available on this page. Starting with these two snufflemats!

16/03/2022

After several requests, we've decided to make a few crate mats! These will be available at the tournament this weekend in Minneapolis, MN. And then available to purchase online.

Complete disclosure: these are 100 percent handmade. They may not be perfect, but they're super functional and durable :)

We will be at the TCOTC Flyball Tournament this Saturday. Selling crate mats and snufflemats! Come see us if you're local :)

Manny and Goose received their snufflemat recently and they absolutely love it ❤

26/02/2022

One of our happy pet parents sent me a heart warming message today in regards to the snufflemat they purchased!

"It has been a sanity saver! Nellie can’t really do walks long or often enough to fully tire her out (her rear legs start to give out prematurely and I can’t carry a 75 pound dog home if she goes down!), so she’s just been bored and asking for more to do this winter. Snuffling is always satisfying for her!"

This is why I love making them. Seeing happy pets and happy parents is so incredible.

Two recently made snufflemats for a fellow Minnesotan with two noodle dogs that are full of personality and sass. These will be perfect to keep them busy on days we have -30 degree weather!

Hello! We have quite a few new followers on this page and I wanted to answer some frequently asked questions.

1. How long does it typically take to get a snufflemat? I usually try to get them done within 2-3 weeks of someone placing an order.

2. How much do they cost? 35 dollars a piece for local pick up and 8 dollars for shipping anywhere in the US.

3. Why are the strips uneven? I make sure there's a difference in texture throughout the mat. Some of the strips may be longer or shorter, as well as thinner or thicker. It's much more fun for the dogs to sniff through when the mats are not uniform.

4. Are they machine washable? Yes! That was one thing I really strive for when designing these. Not too heavy and they can go in the laundry. I usually wash them on a normal cycle and hang them up to dry!

5. How big are they? They come out to be about 17" by 13".

Forgot to take one of our classic pics of this snufflemat but it's been one of my favorites to make! So glad to see it in a home being enjoyed ❤

08/01/2022

Another mat complete for silken friends! Cannot wait for them to receive it and hopefully enjoy. I'm very flexible with colors, usually if you have a preference I can make it work.

One of my favorite things about the snufflemat is it makes dogs work for their food. Many dogs that are picky and eat one piece at a time seem to enjoy sniffing out their food and eating it that way. Our current house guest is a perfect example of this!

22/12/2021

Another snufflemat complete. This one will be enjoyed by foster pups and an elderly canine in the home ❤
