A snuffle ball is a dog toy designed to engage a dog's natural foraging instincts by hiding treats within its various folds and textures. It encourages mental stimulation and provides a fun, interactive way for dogs to work for their food or rewards.
Function - Snuffle balls are essentially a puzzle feeder that taps into a dogs natural desire to sniff and search for food.
How it works - You hide treats or kibble within the snuffle ball's crevices, and the dog uses its nose to explore and retrieve the hidden goodies
