Firework 🎆 season is nearly upon us.
Snuffle mats, balls, puzzles can be a helpful tool to distract and calm your pets during the fireworks
Why Snuffle Mats Help
• Natural Soothing Behavior:
Sniffing engages a dog's primary instinct, which releases calming neurotransmitters (like dopamine and endorphins) in their brain and lowers stress levels.
• Mental Distraction:
Foraging for hidden kibble or treats shifts your dog's focus away from loud bangs and flashing lights outside.
• Self-Regulation:
Free-foraging and working through a snuffle mat helps the central nervous system self-regulate during a scary or high-stress event.
