Abstract: The present disclosure provides a body of a plurality of interconnected pet treats, and a dispenser for dispensing the treats to a pet. The body can comprise a mass of edible extruded, poured, or molded material, that is shaped so that individual treats can be broken or cut off. The treats can be interconnected by a portion of the edible extruded, poured, or molded material that is thinner in a certain area to facilitate the separation of the treats. The dispenser uses a housing, treat sleeve, and trigger sleeve so that a user can load the treats into the treat sleeve, and selectively eject individual treats semi-automatically.

Abstract: A lead system for domesticated animals has a lock capable of securing the collar and the handle ends to prevent theft of the animal. The lead system has a leash having a handle at one end and a collar at the opposing end. The lead system may have a first lock at the collar end and a second lock at the handle end which are separately activated for fastening the handle to the leash at one end of the leash and the collar to the leash at the other end for securing an animal to an immovable object. Alternatively, the lead system may have a lock capable of simultaneously securing the collar and handle ends. The lead system may also allow for adjustment of the circumference of the collar and the handle through the use of levers, with the lock(s) capable of also securing the levers.

Abstract: A protective garment for domesticated animals, such as canines, is provided which incorporates a built-in harness. The harness, which may be hidden from view, connects at the animal's back and has a leash connector for connecting a leash to the harness.

Abstract: An edible pet chew having a non-branching body configured to at least partially enclose an open space between portions of the body, and is preferably in the form of a ring with a central opening. The width or thickness of the chew is sized to fit within the mouth of pet of pre-determined size for chewing action, but the overall dimension of the chew is such that the chew cannot be swallowed whole by the pet. One or more lines of weakness may also be formed in the body of the pet chew to serve as pre-determined fracture lines along which the pet chew will break into smaller pieces. The pet chew may be formed of segments that are sized to provide a recommended single portion for the pet.

Abstract: A lead system for domesticated animals is provided having a lock capable of securing the collar and the handle ends simultaneously to prevent theft of the animal. The lead system comprises a leash having a handle at one end and a collar at the opposing end from the handle and a lock for simultaneously fastening the handle to the leash at one end of the leash and the collar to the leash at the other end so that the animal can be secured to an immovable object. Using the present invention, an animal can be protected from theft without the user having to remove the lead from the dog to engage the lock at the collar or handle ends or requiring the engagement of two or more locks.
