Abstract: A toy for a domestic pet can be used as a fetch toy or as an interactive toy that releases edible treats for the pet. The toy includes a mostly hollow body that defines at least one treat-dispensing opening. A scoop is disposed inwardly of the treat-dispensing opening to provide an amount of control over the dispensing of the treats. The scoop both helps dispense treats and limits the number of treats that are dispensed. The scoop is disposed inside the toy where the pet cannot easily interact with it or alter its operation.
Abstract: A pet toy has a recess that is configured to hold a spreadable, edible substance in a manner that allows it to be removed by a pet such as a dog. Examples of the spreadable, edible substance are peanut butter, cream cheese, or a spreadable cheese. The pet toy has a hub with a straight inner wall that defines at least the upper portion of a recess. There are no overhangs so that the recess is easy to clean. A ring-shaped arm is connected to a middle portion of the hub to cause it to tilt when placed on a flat support surface.
