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.
