Mouse Snuffle Ball
Snuffle Balls encourage great mental stimulation, promotes calm behaviour, fulfils your dog’s natural desire to sniff and keeps them occupied.
Our Mouse Snuffle Ball can be used with your dog's favourite treats as well as dry or freeze dried food. This toy is 3 enrichment toys in 1, with two levels of difficulty built in!
The head of the mouse is a large looser snuffle, a slightly easier level of snuffle and the ears are a more compact version, making them more of a challenge to work with.
