Abstract: A dog chew is described made from plant-based ingredients (excluding the common allergens, corn, wheat, soy and gluten) and binding agents (such as bone-based gelatins, humectants and preservatives), coated with a flavored material (such as poultry, meat or fish and other flavorings), and being entirely free from commonly used poorly digestible ingredients (such as rawhide, reconstituted rawhide, synthetic materials and gums).

Abstract: A dog chew formed from a dairy-based material, wherein said dairy-based material is a mixture of one or more dairy ingredients combined with a binding agent, and said mixture of one or more dairy ingredients comprises the largest portion, by weight, of the dog chew, and said binding agent is added in a sufficient quantity to allow the dairy-based material to be pliable and stable. In the preferred embodiment, the dog chew also includes a flavoring material wherein the dairy-based material comprises the majority of the exterior surface of the dog chew, and said flavoring material includes meats from poultry, mammals, or fish.

Abstract: Pet treats and methods of manufacturing pet treats comprising unprocessed meats are disclosed. The unprocessed meats are not extruded, ground, emulsified, liquefied, partially liquefied, or made into a powder. The unprocessed meats may be combined with natural and/or un-natural binding agents and may also be combined with natural and/or un-natural preservatives. The combination may be formed into shapes in which the pieces, bits, and/or parts of the unprocessed meat may, or may not, be visible within the production product, yet contained within.
