My dogs absolutely love when the see the turtle come out!! They are very active hunting dogs. However, we live in a very cold climate, so when it's too cold to be outside for long, the sensory time of the snuffle mat wears them out. I work from home so the mat also keeps them occupied during some of my meetings/calls. Both the quality and the size of this mat are great. It doesn't take up too much space, yet both my dogs can use it at the same time. My youngest dog CHOWS her food and it doesn't always go down smoothly, so this slows her down and keeps her comfortable.
