Abstract: A treat dispensing toy having a noise producing unit. In one embodiment, the noise producing unit includes a recording and playback capability. The toy has an exit allowing treats to be dispensed when the toy is manipulated by a user. The toy selectively produces a noise when it is manipulated by the user. A ring closure member is secured to the exit and restricts the size of the exit. One or more barriers are disposed about the interior of the toy such that egress of the treats is retarded by the one or more barriers. A cover for the toy can be used to reconfigure and/or refurbish the appearance of the toy. In one form, the cover is affixed to the toy housing by the ring closure. The toy housing can be any of a number of shapes, including, for example, a ball or a bone.
