Scent is a crucial part of a dog’s world.
Scent offers mental stimulation and enriches their daily experiences. That’s why we created Schnuzzle, the ultimate pet toy that harnesses the power of scent.
Our S.M.A.R.T. Scent™ technology delivers over 35,000 pet-safe scent combinations, turning playtime into a captivating sensory adventure. Developed with top veterinarians, Schnuzzle merges fun and cognitive enrichment, enhancing the bond between you and your furry friend.
Meet the Founders
The story of Schnuzzle began with Benson, Justin’s loyal and beloved dog, who bravely battled chronic Pancreatitis. This condition kept Benson from enjoying the simple joys of playtime, which struck a deep chord with Justin. Determined to make a difference, Justin set out on a mission to improve the lives of dogs like Benson.
Guy and Justin are brothers. Guy has been involved in Schnuzzle from it's inception over 10 years ago and was crucial in securing our first licensing deal for Schnuzzle scent technology.
Guy recently relocated back to Australia after 30 years in Europe and US. He now lives in Adelaide with his family and 2 Mini Australian Shepherds, Ziggy and Poppy.
The science behind the scent
At Schnuzzle, we blend cutting-edge research with a deep understanding of animal behavior to create engaging and beneficial products for your pet. Our innovative approach is grounded in the science of scent, which plays a crucial role in canine cognition and well-being. Our exclusive S.M.A.R.T. Scent™ formulations leverage this natural instinct, providing enriching and stimulating experiences.
With the ability to create over 35,000 distinct scent combinations, Schnuzzle ensures each playtime session is unique and engaging. Developed with safe, high-quality ingredients, our all natural scents and aromas keep your pet curious and entertained. Engaging a dog’s sense of smell reduces anxiety, improves focus, and enhances problem-solving skills, promoting a healthier and happier pet.
