   Well made for medium dogs

   Nice workmanship and an interesting design. It seems best suited for medium-sized dogs rather than very large heavy chewers.

2. I Ikmo 5/5

   Roomy enough for two dogs

   I rescued two dogs — a mom and her puppy — and both enjoy sniffing through this mat. They sometimes squabble, but there are plenty of hiding spots so they can both search at once.

   Cats tried it but attention faded

   I bought this to increase my cats’ enrichment. With five cats, engagement varied: the shortest session was about two minutes, the longest around eight. They’ll use it willingly but they find treats pretty quickly. I’ll keep it in rotation as a quick enrichment tool, but don’t expect it to captivate every cat for long.

   Keeps my 40-lb dog entertained

   This mat holds my dog’s attention for a good stretch. He enjoys rooting through the pockets and the size suits a 40-pound dog well.

   Mushrooms look great and puppy approves

   The little mushrooms are visually appealing and my puppy enjoys them. The mat is a worthwhile addition to his toys and feeding routine.

6. A Angela 5/5

   Ideal for a senior dog’s snack time

   For my senior celebrating a milestone, this mat was a hit. Lots of places to tuck treats and it stimulates his snack sessions nicely. Solid quality for casual use.

7. A Anastasia Moon 5/5

   Adorable snuffling sounds from the pups

   The girls have so much fun with this mat — they make the cutest piggy noises while searching for treats. It’s a joy to watch them play.

8. M Mena 5/5

   Huge hit with our Maltipoo

   Our 16 lb Maltipoo absolutely adores this mat. I took out the squeaky mushrooms and washed the fleece on a gentle, cold cycle, then air-dried it with no damage and the fabric stayed soft. Filling the pockets with kibble only takes a minute and the larger size keeps him occupied far longer than his smaller mats. He can’t get enough of the squeaky mushrooms. The build feels good for non-destructive dogs — if yours tears things up, consider supervising.

   Great for toddler play too

   I bought this as a play surface for my two-year-old’s dinosaurs and it’s perfect: soft, foldable, and durable enough for stomping. It looks like grassy terrain for animal figures, launders easily, and tucks away in a toy tote. I removed the straps since they weren’t needed and paired it with a silicone palm tree set for sturdier play props.

10. A A concerned buyer. 2/5

    Good idea but durability problems

    The concept and layout are excellent and my dog enjoys the hide-and-seek pockets, but the stitching came apart quickly. It hadn’t even been put through the washer when seams started to fail.

    Very happy with this mat

    My dog loves the many hiding spots. It’s easy to wash and the dimensions are just right for our needs.

    Also works for my cats

    My cats love it. After chasing strings and balls they’ll use this mat and have a lot of fun exploring the pockets.

    Perfect mealtime brain workout

    I added this to my dog’s feeding routine for mental stimulation and she loved sniffing out her food. It’s simple for her to use but she can pull at the leaves, so I’d recommend it for small to medium dogs and pets that won’t try to shred the mat or run off with it.
