A snuffle mat for dogs that need something to do — 150cm x 30cm of fabric with pockets you hide treats in, so the dog has to use its nose rather than empty a bowl in seconds.
Foraging tires a dog in a way a walk around the block does not, which makes this useful for a dog on box rest, a dog left alone during the day, or a high-drive dog through a rainy week.
What's in it
- Forager mat, 150cm x 30cm
- Built-in pockets in two sizes, to suit different breeds and nose shapes
- 3 additional separate pockets to place inside the forager, to make it harder
How to use it
Hide your own treats in the pockets and let the dog find them. Start easy and make it harder as they work it out. Pet Remedy suggest spraying the forager with their Calming Spray beforehand, which pairs the activity with the calming blend.
Supervise the first few sessions with a dog that is inclined to eat fabric.

FAQ
All your questions, answered.
Not sure what rug your horse needs right now? Our free Horse Rug Forecaster checks your local weather and tells you what rug weight your horse needs today, tonight and over the next 3 days. It works anywhere in New Zealand and adjusts for clipped horses and horses that feel the cold.
The thermoneutral zone is the temperature range where the body can maintain its core temperature with little to no extra energy expenditure. Humans need it much warmer, at around 25–30 °C, but for horses it’s much broader at 5–25 °C.
This difference means we should avoid rugging horses based on how cold we feel. Over-rugging can lead to serious health issues, including metabolic problems and thermoregulatory dysfunction.
Tips for Choosing a Winter Rug Weight
-
Clipped horses may need a heavier gram fill to stay comfortable.
-
Remember: horses warm themselves more easily than they cool down under a rug. If unsure, choose a lighter rug.
-
Check your horse regularly to make sure they are neither too hot nor too cold.
-
Consider your horse’s age and natural ability to stay warm.
-
As a general guide, a healthy unclipped horse with shelter usually doesn't need a winter rug until it feels colder than about 5 °C, but always adjust for your horse’s individual needs.
-
Always ensure rugs are waterproof. A wet rug is worse than no rug at all.
This is an indicative guide only. Always take into account factors such as wind chill, your horse’s age, weight, and condition. For advice based on your local forecast, try the Horse Rug Forecaster.
