How to Use
Play Instructions
- Introduce the Toy: Before the first use, show your pet the toy and let them sniff and explore it so they understand this is an enrichment activity that rewards them with treats.
- Hide the Treats: Place bite-size dry kibble or small treats between the tassels of the ball, spreading them throughout both tassel length levels for varied difficulty and engagement.
- Encourage Foraging: Place the ball in front of your pet and encourage them to sniff and paw through the tassels; reward any interaction with praise to build positive associations quickly.
Additional Information
Care Instructions
- Remove Remaining Treats: After each session, shake out or remove any remaining kibble or treats from the tassels to prevent stale food buildup or bacterial growth inside the toy.
- Hand Wash Gently: Hand wash this toy with mild soap and warm water periodically to keep it clean and hygienic, then allow it to air dry completely before the next use.
- Store When Not in Use: When not in use, store this toy in a clean, dry location away from direct sun exposure to preserve the polyester material and tassel quality over time.
Safety Instructions
- Always Supervise Play: Always supervise your dog or cat closely during use and teach your pet how the snuffle ball works before leaving them to play independently with any foraging toy.
- Not for Aggressive Chewers: This toy is not appropriate for pets with aggressive chewing habits; it is designed for sniffing and foraging only, not for biting or pulling at the tassels.
- Dry Kibble Only: Use only bite-size dry kibble or small dry treats inside this toy; wet or sticky foods can soil the polyester tassels and make them very difficult to clean properly.
- Remove if Damaged: If any tassels become frayed, loose, or separated from the ball, discontinue use immediately to prevent your pet from ingesting any loose polyester material or pieces.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: What is this toy and how does it work?
Ans: This is a ball-shaped foraging enrichment toy for dogs and cats. You hide bite-size dry kibble or small treats between two different tassel lengths on the ball. Your pet then uses their nose, snout, and paws to sniff out and retrieve the hidden treats during playtime.
Q2: What pets can use this toy?
Ans: This toy is designed for both dogs and cats of different life stages, from puppies and kittens to adult and senior pets. Its soft polyester tassels are gentle on snouts and noses, making it a safe and comfortable enrichment option for pets of varying sizes and breeds.
Q3: What treats should I use with this toy?
Ans: Use only bite-size dry kibble or small dry treats with this toy. Wet, sticky, or moist foods are not recommended as they can soil the polyester tassels and be very difficult to clean out thoroughly after each play session, affecting hygiene over time.
Q4: How does this toy help slow down eating?
Ans: By hiding kibble between the tassels, this toy requires pets to sniff and search for each piece individually rather than eating from a bowl all at once. This naturally extends mealtime, slows food intake, and encourages healthier eating habits for dogs and cats.
Q5: Is this toy safe for pets?
Ans: Yes, this Trixie snuffle ball is made from polyester that is completely free of BPA, phthalates, and lead. The soft tassels are gentle on snouts and noses. However, it is not suitable for aggressive chewers and supervised use is always required during every session.
Q6: How do I clean this toy?
Ans: Hand wash this toy with mild soap and warm water after use, then air dry it completely before storing or reusing. Always remove any remaining kibble or treats from the tassels after each session to prevent stale food buildup and maintain hygiene between play sessions.
Q7: Can this toy help relieve stress and boredom in pets?
Ans: Yes, the focused sniffing and foraging activity involved in using this Trixie activity toy has a naturally calming effect on pets. It helps release excess energy, reduces boredom-related destructive behavior, and provides the mental engagement pets need for overall well-being and daily enrichment.
