  • Publication number: 20230180711
    Abstract: A novel pet slow feed stainless steel bowl with a removable rubber insert. The insert has channels molded into it so that kibble placed in the bowl settles into the channels and causes the pet to eat slowly and deliberately. The rubber insert is easily removed for cleaning. The bowl and mat can also be used when traveling and can hold kibble on the mat set on a surface outside the bowl, and then water can be placed in the bowl. The bowl holds two cups of kibble or water.

  • Publication number: 20220361452
    Abstract: The invention comprises a pet plush toy wherein an animal character is attached to a “stalk” as a monkey would cling to a tree, and which provides a dental benefit when pets chew a portion of the tree stalk created from braided jersey fabric that is removeable from the stalk portion to provide extra play as well as dental benefits when a pet chews the strands of the braid. Elastic in the arms of the animal character allow it to be slipped over the stalk portion, and also contains noisemakers in both the animal and the stalk or portion they are elastically clung to. The toy is thus 2 pieces that an animal may remove from one another and individually play with each piece. The braided jersey piece may be reinserted an infinite number of times to reengage pet play.

  • Publication number: 20220338444
    Abstract: The invention comprises a novel pet ball with an anchored squeaker which will not break or otherwise be inoperable by a firm bite of a pet. A malleable inner and outer shell construction makes the ball simple yet less prone to damage as it allows the squeaker insert to move to a degree in response to pressure of a bite. The squeaker cannot be dislodged from int's insert. The outer shell of a wooly fabric covers the exit portion of the squeaker yet allows sound and air to travel though the ball.

  • Publication number: 20220232802
    Abstract: The invention comprises a novel pet chew toy where the outer shell is molded over a scented inner section and has varying hardness to the shell and inner section so that the sensation resembles chewing an actual bone, but without the health hazards possible with actual bones. There is no glue or other harmful materials used to keep the 2 sections together, yet they will not come apart due to the molding process.
