Abstract: An edible pet chew having a non-branching body configured to at least partially enclose an open space between portions of the body, and is preferably in the form of a ring with a central opening. The width or thickness of the chew is sized to fit within the mouth of pet of pre-determined size for chewing action, but the overall dimension of the chew is such that the chew cannot be swallowed whole by the pet. One or more lines of weakness may also be formed in the body of the pet chew to serve as pre-determined fracture lines along which the pet chew will break into smaller pieces. The pet chew may be formed of segments that are sized to provide a recommended single portion for the pet.
