  • Publication number: 20110232581
    Abstract: A pet toy as described has a front side and a back side and is defined by a perimeter element that is generally rubber, urethane or other suitable material. The perimeter element surrounds at least one recess formed on each side of the toy, the recesses forming a flexible membrane between them. One or both surfaces of the membrane has a layer of felted cloth or other fabric secured to the surface. The flexibility of the membrane, combined with the depth of the recesses increases the difficulty for a dog to securely grip the felted cloth and separate it from the pet toy.
