Abstract: A pet toy includes a rod and an outer casing. The rod includes a body extending between a proximal end and a distal end, and one or more ridges extending from the body intermediate the proximal and distal ends. The outer casing includes an opening provided therein, at least a portion of the rod slidably received within the opening. The one or more ridges are configured to contact the outer casing to create a noise as the rod slides through the opening.

Abstract: A carrier includes a body and cover. The body includes a bottom portion, a top portion, and a top aperture provided in the top portion. The cover is detachably coupled to the top portion and adapted for selective closure of the top aperture. The cover includes least one rod extending along a plane and supported by the cover for movement between a latched position and an unlatched position, and at least one rod passage being substantially co-planar with the plane of the at least one rod and adapted to receive at least a portion of the at least one rod. In the latched position at least a portion of the at least one rod is received in the top portion. The at least one rod is translatable within the at least one rod passage and along the plane in response to a user input to unlatch the cover.

Abstract: A pet toy includes a rod, a fastener and an outer casing. The rod includes a plurality of ridges along a longitudinal length of the rod between a first longitudinal end and a second longitudinal end of the rod. The fastener is disposed at the first longitudinal end of the rod for detachably attaching an interactive toy to the rod. The outer casing has an opening that receives the rod therethrough. The outer casing is slidable between the first and second longitudinal ends of the rod to create a noise as the ridges ratchet against the opening of the outer casing.

Abstract: A carrier includes a body and a cover portion. The body has a bottom portion and a top portion and an opening in the top portion. The bottom portion is configured to be placed on a surface. The opening is the only opening sized and configured to enable an animal to enter or exit the body and enables an animal to enter or exit the body in a vertical manner when the bottom portion is placed on the surface. The cover portion is sized and configured to fit within the opening of the top portion. The cover portion is hingedly attached to the top portion at a first side and includes a latching mechanism at a second side. The latching mechanism enables the cover to be disposed in a latched state to close the opening in the top portion.

Abstract: A pet toy includes a curved body portion, a noise making device, and a bottom portion coupled to the curved body portion. The curved body portion has a substantially hollow interior. The bottom portion has a substantially planar lower surface, an upper surface, and a wall extending from the upper surface. The noise making device is coupled to the upper surface and has a lower portion and an upper portion. The bottom portion is coupled to the curved body portion so that the wall is received within the substantially hollow interior of the curved body portion. The curved body portion is adapted to be compressed relative to at least a portion of the noise making device and the wall of the bottom portion. The noise making device is configured to emit a noise when sufficiently compressed between the curved body portion and the wall.

Abstract: A pet toy includes a body portion and a sliding portion. The body portion has a curved top portion with an inwardly extending arcuate side portion. The sliding portion is attached to a bottom surface of the body portion and is formed from rigid plastic so as to have a reduced coefficient of friction with a surface on which the pet toy is to slide.

Abstract: A foldable pet enclosure includes a main section and a roof section. The main section defines a pair of side walls, a pair of end walls and a bottom wall. The pair of side walls are attached to opposite sides of the bottom wall by first hinge areas and the pair of end walls are attached to opposite ends of the bottom wall by second hinge areas. The roof section is dimensioned to fit atop the main section with the pair of side walls folded upward along the first hinge areas from the bottom wall and with the pair of end walls folded upward along the second hinge areas from the bottom wall.

Abstract: A pet toy includes a hollow body defining an interior space with an interior surface and including a first portion having a first diameter, a second portion having a second diameter, a first opening in the first portion, a second opening in the second portion and a separation arm extending from the interior surface in the interior space and being disposed between the first and second openings.

Abstract: A pet toy includes a central connector with a first engagement structure, a second engagement structure and third engagement structure, an arcuate member having a first end and a second end, the first end being attached to the first engagement structure and the second end being attached to the second engagement structure, and a chewable member attached to the third engagement structure.

Abstract: A pet toy includes a resilient base member having a concave surface, and a holding member having a first end and a second end, the first and second ends attached to the resilient base member at the concave surface to form a passage between the holding member and the concave surface, the passage configured and arrange to frictionally hold food stuff therein.

Abstract: A pet toy includes a core having interior portion and defining an elongate channel along a surface of the core, a channel-shaped insert received into the elongate channel and overlying the elongate channel, a cover attached to the channel-shaped insert, and overlying portions of the core that are not covered by the channel-shaped insert such that the core is enclosed cooperatively by the channel-shaped insert and the cover, and a noise making device disposed within the interior portion of the core.

Abstract: A pet toy includes a curved part and a longitudinal part. The curved part has a first end portion, a second end portion and an arch. The arch connects the first and second end portions. The longitudinal part is attached to the first and second end portions. The longitudinal part is spaced from the arch so that the longitudinal part forms a arcuate shape with the curved part.

Abstract: A pet toy includes a housing and a core. The housing has at least one pocket that is located on an interior wall of the housing. The core is housed in the housing. The core is movable with respect to the housing between an aligned position with the housing and an unaligned position. The core is disposed in front of the pocket in the aligned position. The core is offset from the pocket in the unaligned position.
