Turn treat time into a brain game. The Ancol Örva Snuffle Ball is a foraging toy that taps into your dog's natural urge to sniff and search — tuck treats or kibble into the soft fleece folds and let your dog nudge, sniff and roll the ball to work them out. It's calm, focused fun that tires the mind as much as a walk tires the body.

Snuffle play is brilliant for slowing down fast eaters, easing boredom and anxiety, and giving busy dogs a positive outlet on rainy days. Soft, lightweight and perfect for indoor enrichment.

Please note: it's made to be tough but isn't indestructible, and it isn't a chew toy — always supervise your dog during play.

  • Natural nose work: Encourages sniffing, searching and problem-solving.
  • Calms & settles: A great outlet for boredom, anxiety and excess energy.
  • Slows fast eaters: Hide a meal in the folds to make it last.
  • Fill, hide & roll: Simple to load with treats or kibble and reset again.
  • Soft & lightweight: Ideal for indoor, supervised enrichment.
  • Eco-conscious packaging: Supplied in widely recycled and recyclable packaging.

How to use

  1. Tuck treats or kibble into the fleece folds and pockets.
  2. Let your dog sniff, nudge and roll the ball to find them.
  3. Start easy, then make it trickier as they get the hang of it.
  4. Refill and reset for another round.

Suitable for dogs of all sizes. Always supervise play and remove the toy if it becomes damaged.

Ancol is an established British pet brand. The Örva enrichment range is stocked at Hairy Dogs.

Common questions

What should I put in it?
Dry treats, kibble or small training treats work best — anything that tucks into the fleece. Avoid very wet or greasy foods, which are harder to clean out.
Will it help with boredom and anxiety?
Snuffle play is mentally tiring and a calming, positive outlet, so it can really help with boredom-related behaviours and nervous energy. It works best alongside walks, training and company — not as a replacement for them.
Is it suitable for puppies?
Yes — it's gentle, supervised enrichment for dogs of all ages and sizes. Supervise closely with puppies, who are more likely to try chewing the fabric rather than just foraging.
Can I wash it?
Ancol's packaging gives the definitive guidance. As a general rule for fleece snuffle toys, a gentle cool wash and air-dry keeps them fresh — avoid the tumble dryer.
