Abstract: A method of manufacturing a pet toy includes preforming one or more rubber compound sheets, preforming a foam rubber core in a desired shape, enclosing the foam rubber core within the one or more rubber compound sheets so that the foam rubber core forms an inner part and the one or more rubber compound sheets form an outer part, and coating the outer part enclosing the inner part.

Abstract: An inflatable pet toy adopted for use in an inflated state and ambient air state. The inflatable pet toy includes an inner layer, an intermediate layer, and an outer layer. The inner layer forms a selectively inflatable bladder for receiving pressurized air. The inner layer is configured to resist bursting. The intermediate layer coupled to the inner layer. The outer layer substantially surrounds the intermediate layer.

Abstract: An inflatable ball includes an inner layer, an intermediate layer and an outer layer. The inner layer has an inflatable bladder for storing air. The intermediate layer is provided over the inner layer, the intermediate layer including ethylene vinyl acetate. The outer layer is provided over the intermediate layer. The outer layer includes rubber.

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 gyroscopic pet toy having a transparent sphere, a base member, a first magnet, an arm and a winged figure. The base member has central area and an outer edge area. The first magnet is installed to the base member proximate the central area. The arm is attached to the base member proximate a portion of the outer edge area. The arm extends upwardly over the central area of the base member. The winged figure hangs downwardly from a string-like element attached to a distal end of the arm. The winged figure is located above and spaced apart from the central area of the base member. The winged figure has a second magnet disposed therein with the first and second magnets being oriented to interact with one another. The base member, the first magnet, the arm and the winged figure are all moveably installed within the transparent sphere.

Abstract: An inflatable ball includes an inner layer. an intermediate layer and an outer layer. The inner layer has an inflatable bladder for storing air. The intermediate layer is provided over the inner layer. the intermediate layer including ethylene vinyl acetate. The outer layer is provided over the intermediate layer. The outer layer includes rubber.

Abstract: A reversible lid, the reversible lid includes a covering portion and a circumferential portion. The circumferential portion has a first part, a second part and a transverse part. The first part has a first end and a second end and extends generally parallel from the periphery of the covering portion at the first end. The transverse part extends radially outwardly transverse from the second end of the first part, and the second part extends in a same direction as the first part and is connected to the transverse part. The first part, the second part and traverse part are configured such that in a first orientation the lid covers the container with a first side of the transverse part abutting a rim of the container and in a second orientation covers the container with the second side of the transverse part abutting the rim of the container.

Abstract: A method of manufacturing a pet toy includes preforming one or more rubber compound sheets, preforming a foam rubber core in a desired shape, enclosing the foam rubber core within the one or more rubber compound sheets so that the foam rubber core forms an inner part and the one or more rubber compound sheets form an outer part, and coating the outer part enclosing the inner part.

Abstract: A folding cage that includes a base member, an upper member and a plurality of columns. The plurality of columns each extend between the base member and the upper member connecting the base member to the upper member. At least one of the plurality of columns is attached to the base member for pivotal movement with respect thereto and at least one of the plurality of columns is attached to the upper member for pivotal movement with respect thereto.

Abstract: A pet toy includes a base, a stem, a reservoir and a fluid emitter. The base has an arcuate shaped bottom. The stem extends from a top of the base. The reservoir is housed in the base. The fluid emitter is in fluid connection with the reservoir. The fluid emitter emits fluid from the reservoir to be expelled from an outlet located at the top of the base.

Abstract: A pet food container includes a hollow body including a top, a bottom, and an outer surface disposed between the top and the bottom. The top has a recessed portion defined by an inner longitudinal surface and recessed top surface. The recessed top surface includes an opening in communication with an interior of the hollow body and the inner longitudinal surface includes a latching mechanism configured to couple to a removable cap.
