HeviiHome®
Sniffer rug for dogs

The HeviiHome® dog sniffer rug is an innovative toy that has been specially designed to encourage your dog’s natural instinct to search while providing mental and physical stimulation. Made from high-quality materials such as durable felt, high-quality Oxford fabric and soft cotton, this product promises durability and comfort.
The double stitching provides extra sturdiness and makes the rug ideal for everyday use. With plenty of hiding places for treats, the sniffer rug is suitable for small and large dogs and helps to relieve stress and reduce destructive behaviour.

  • Mental and physical stimulation
  • High-quality and robust materials
  • Easy cleaning
  • Non-slip fixation
  • Some hiding places not very well thought out

The first impression

Packaging and contents

Here we take a closer look at packaging. Sustainability is becoming an increasingly important factor. In addition, adequate protection of the product must of course also be guaranteed. Are the contents of the packaging complete and does the manufacturer make it as easy as possible for me to use the product straight away?

The robust cardboard box and careful packaging ensure safe transport and protect the product from damage, which guarantees excellent product protection. We rate this positively in terms of sustainability. The compact packaging saves space and makes shipping more efficient. However, the manufacturer could replace the single plastic film used with more environmentally friendly materials to further minimise the environmental impact. The instructions for use are clearly printed in German on the back of the packaging. The contents of the pack fulfil all expectations and provide hours of fun and mental stimulation for dogs.

The appearance of the HeviiHome® sniffer rug is very good, with a well-made surface of high-quality Oxford fabric, soft cotton and felt elements. The appealing design catches the eye at first glance. The high-quality materials, the well thought-out design and the well-finished seams give the rug an elegant touch. It also impresses in terms of workmanship. There are no recognisable material defects, which indicates high-quality manufacturing. The stability of the product is also impressive. Made from robust Oxford fabric, a waterproof and durable material and studs on the back as well as four suction cups on the corners for extra grip, this sniffer rug for dogs offers a secure hold during play.
High-quality materials are used and a 90-day money-back guarantee is offered. The rug is also machine washable, which contributes to its longevity and sustainability.

Our test of the HeviiHome® sniffer rug showed that the manufacturer fully lives up to its advertising promises.
The material quality and safety of the rug are excellent. The material is in perfect condition, has no visible defects, is soft and supple and no chemical odours could be detected. The carpet withstood strong pulls, bites and scratches without any problems.
The three different levels of difficulty are suitable for dogs of different sizes and abilities.

Cleaning and caring for the rug is uncomplicated as it can be machine washed at 30 degrees. In between washes, dirt and hair can be easily removed with a hoover and stains can be completely removed. The rug survived the machine wash undamaged and dried quickly in the air without losing its shape.

Thanks to the anti-slip studs on the back and the four firmly attached suction cups on the corners, it is fully slip-resistant . The mat stays in place on all tested surfaces (wood, tiles, laminate) without the need for an additional non-slip mat.

The user-friendliness of the mat is also satisfactory. It is quick and easy to set up and easy to fill with treats. The mat is immediately ready for use, all steps are intuitive and require little time.

The large number of hiding places and training elements provide plenty of fun and activities. The dog immediately showed great interest on first contact with the sniffer carpet and remained constantly occupied throughout the entire 30-minute phase. Even when used several times on consecutive days, interest remained high, the dog sought out the carpet independently and showed unchanged enthusiasm.
Overall, the sniffer rug is a highly recommended product that promotes your dog’s mental and physical stimulation and impresses with its robust workmanship .
