The food disappears into the ruffled hedge, the folded flowers, the little pockets and the fabric tent in the middle, and the only way to get it back is to sniff it out, one piece at a time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eFor a dog, that's a brilliant ten minutes.

Ten to twenty minutes is a typical session, which is plenty.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSize: approx. 78 x 60cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial: polar fleece top with felt and chenille details; rubber-dotted non-slip backing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHiding places: ruffled hedge, fabric tent, flower pockets, cup pockets, fringed sunflower\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCare: machine wash cool on a gentle cycle, no bleach, dry flat; hand wash also fine\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBest for: all sizes and ages; sniffing, slow feeding and treat games\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColour: green with orange, yellow and red details\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSafety and care\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSupervise every session.
