Industrial Design

Elevate Your Dog's Playtime

Unleash a new era of engagement for your furry friend with our specially crafted Snuffle Mat. Designed for a passionate dog lover in the US, this mat transforms mealtime into an exciting adventure.

By sprinkling kibble on the mat, your dog uses its innate sense of smell, making every meal an enriching experience. Our approach involved a deep dive into dog behavior, combining elements from various toys, experimenting with colors, and employing a unique fastening system for a playfully secured experience.
In conceptualizing the Snuffle Mat, our focus was not only on creating a functional accessory but also on understanding and enhancing the sensory experience for dogs. We considered the innate curiosity and olfactory abilities of our canine friends, using these insights to design a product that goes beyond mere utility. The result is a thoughtfully crafted mat that not only meets the nutritional needs of your pet but also provides mental stimulation and enrichment during mealtime.

Research

Canine behaviours around food

Driven by a commitment to address a common challenge of keeping dogs mentally stimulated during meals, our ideation process merged insights from dog toy design and canine behavior. The resulting concept seamlessly integrates play into mealtime, ensuring an engaging experience for dogs.

IDEATION

Problem Solving Through Play

Understanding the intricate details of dog behavior and the factors that keep them engaged, we set out to design a snuffle mat that serves both as a meal accessory and a mental stimulator. Our ideation phase involved a comprehensive study of existing dog toys, identifying the most captivating elements, and fusing them into a novel, multifunctional design.

Prototyping Excellence

Testing, Iteration, and Tailoring

Our journey involved rigorous testing and prototyping phases where we fine-tuned the mat's features. We utilised a variety of materials and textures, ranging from soft to firm, to deliver optimal sensory stimulation.

The ingenious elastic thread and suction cup fastening system ensures the mat stays in place during vigorous play, making it an enriching experience for both pet and owner.
In the prototyping phase, we translated our ideas into tangible, functional products, subjecting them to thorough testing. It was a process of continuous refinement, as each iteration brought us closer to creating the perfect Snuffle Mat. The materials were carefully selected to offer a range of textures, providing an enjoyable tactile experience for dogs. The introduction of the unique fastening system added a layer of practicality, ensuring that the mat stays securely in place, even during the most enthusiastic play sessions.
