Abstract: A pet treat includes a top layer of meat and a bottom layer of rawhide that has been flavored with meat. An intermediate layer of glutin formed during the manufacturing process affixes the top layer of meat to the bottom layer of rawhide. During the dehydration step, the rawhide and the glutin are flavored by liquid seeped from the meat.

Abstract: A pet treat includes an outer layer of meat and an inner layer of rawhide that has been flavored with meat. An intermediate layer of glutin is formed during the manufacturing process and affixes the outer layer of meat to the inner layer of rawhide. The manufacturing process involves freezing the meat and then adding slices of the frozen meat on a rawhide roll such that the frozen meat substantially covers the circumference of the rawhide roll. During the dehydration step that is performed for a long period of time, the rawhide and the glutin are flavored by liquid seeped from the meat.

Abstract: A consumable pet chew comprising a formed, three-dimensional body of chewable material, and a method of making same, are disclosed. The body has an outer surface and at least one recess extending generally perpendicularly from the outer surface. The recess has walls and a machined edge at said outer surface, and defines a receptacle within the body of the pet chew. A filling comprising an edible substance is fixedly positioned in the receptacle. The machined edge at the outer surface of the body is formed by machining operations selected from the group consisting of drilling, punching, cutting and stamping. The walls of the recess are scored during machining operations to enhance retention of the filling in the receptacle. The chew is attractive to dogs as it combines the flavor of the chewable material forming the body of the chew with one or more differently flavored fillings.
