Dinner, but make it a hunt.

A snuffle mat your dog works for and you actually want to leave out. Hide the kibble, let them sniff it out, and turn a thirty-second bowl into ten minutes of nose work. In colors that don't fight your living room.

Why a snuffle mat, anyway.

Dogs are built to use their noses for food. A mat gives that instinct somewhere to go.

A meal they work for

Tuck kibble or treats into the fleece and let them sniff each piece out. A bowl is over in seconds. A mat turns it into ten minutes of focused nose work.

Sniffing is a workout

Foraging is mental and physical effort. It gives busy dogs a job to do and tires them out in a way a quick walk around the block doesn't.

Made to be left out

Most enrichment toys are loud plastic in primary colors. Ours come in muted tones that sit on the floor of a nice room without ruining it.

Our Story

We got tired of hiding the dog stuff before guests came over.

Enrichment is good for dogs and bad for interiors. Every snuffle mat we could find looked like a clearance beach towel. So we made the one we wanted: the same nose work, in tones that belong in a grown-up room. That's the whole idea behind Rootle.

Finally, dinner takes longer than 90 seconds.

My border collie used to inhale her food and then stare at me like I owed her a second job. Now she actually works for it.

Tires him out more than a walk.

Ten minutes on the mat and my pup is genuinely calm for the next hour. The squeaker keeps him engaged way longer than I expected. Build quality feels real, not the flimsy fleece I've returned twice from Amazon.
