A therapeutic toy device for an animal user. The device comprises an internal spine simulator comprising a plurality of weighted vertebra simulators, all coupled together in a manner intended to somewhat resemble the spine of a prey animal. The toy device is configured so that when the animal user plays with the toy, the act mimics the sensation of tackling an actual prey animal. This satisfies the animal's predatory instincts, and thus gives the animal a more meaningful and satisfying sensory-motor experience, thus improving well-being. The device may optionally be surrounded by a covering, which may be a removable washable covering, and optionally configured with other elements such as one or more straps, limb simulators, internal stuffing or padding, and other features. The toy device may be configured in varying weights and configurations based on the size, weight, and play-drive of an animal user.

An animated squeaky pet toy provides an animated, chewable pet toy that emits a squeaky sound when compressed from multiple directions and pressures due to an alternating pattern of accordion and bulbous sections. An elongated compressible inner chamber provides a generally elongated body portion having an alternating pattern of at least one accordion section and at least one bulbous section. The accordion section includes multiple folds that produce air flow when pulled or compressed laterally. The bulbous section increases the diameter of the body portion, and can be compressed axially and diagonally to produce air flow. The compressible inner chamber includes a pair of ends having an aperture. A reed passes through each aperture. The reed vibrates to produce a squeaky sound when air flow passes through either aperture. An animated outer chamber encapsulates the compressible inner chamber to transfer compressive forces to the body portion of compressible inner chamber.

Embodiments are directed to a tug-toy tooth brush. In one example, the tug-toy tooth brush includes a structural frame that provides support for at least one sliding element. The structural frame includes channels that guide the sliding element while sliding within the structural frame. The sliding element is configured to slide from a first position to a second position within the structural frame. The sliding element includes bristles that extrude through the structural frame. The tug-toy tooth brush also includes at least one handle attached to a distal end of the sliding element, where the handle is configured for travel through the structural frame.

A toy for pet dogs is provided and includes a toy body, which is a doll imitating a pet dog appearance, a hip of the toy body is provided with an accommodating chamber, and the accommodating chamber is provided with an anti-slip neck, a silicone body is internally provided with a channel and a simulation port connected with the channel; the silicone body is inserted into the accommodating chamber and the simulation port is exposed from outside, an end of the silicone body around the simulation port forms a funnel-shaped groove, and the silicone body is provided with a snapping groove matched with the anti-slip neck. The toy for pet dogs is made as the toy of the pet dog in estrus, it is easy to install, change and wash.

A mouth-cleaning device (100) for a pet. The device includes a base (110) and a side wall (120) extending from the base. The base and the side wall at least partially define an internal volume configured to receive a product. A plurality of protrusions (112, 122) extends from the base or the side wall, or both. The protrusions are configured to engage an oral tissue of a pet.

The pet toy of the invention comprises a spherical shaped body with eight distinct quadrants formed on the exterior surface thereof. Each section is three sided, similar to an equilateral triangle except each corner of the triangular-shaped is curved or rounded. A central opening is formed through the pet toy. Preferably, the pet toy is hollow and the pet toy has a substantially uniform sidewall thickness, thereby creating an open core. Measured parameters of the pet toy are provided to minimize the potential of the toy becoming caught in an animal's throat yet the pet toy is still configured to maximize play potential. The measured parameters include in various combinations of a weight of the pet toy, a diameter of the pet toy, depths of grooves in the pet toy, widths of the grooves and shapes of the grooves.

The present development is a pet toy with a hidden cavity for a treat or similar enticement for the pet. The hidden cavity is preferably enclosed within a plunger-type device so the pet must extract the plunger to retrieve the treat.

An edible pet chew comprises a member of Artificial Bully Stick formed from a composition material with pizzle ingredient imitating existing traditional bully stick products, serving as an alternative to traditional bully stick. The imitation may include the structure, and/or appearance, and/or size, and/or color, and/or texture, and/or flavor, and/or durability, and/or palatability of traditional bully stick. Preferably it is an extruded stick processed by an extruder.

An edible pet chew has an initially malleable sheet of a hardened chewable material dimensioned large enough and thin enough to be initially malleable for flexing, folding or rolling into a final shape. The sheet is shaped into a final shape by flexing, folding or rolling and then hardened.

An apparatus for a chewable treat holder and pet toy may be shown and described. An exemplary embodiment may include two clamping blocks which are clamped together via top and bottom knobs. Each top knob is connected to a threaded rod which is screwed into a nut embedded in a bottom knob. A pet treat may be clamped between the two clamping blocks, which can be clamped by tightening the knobs on the top and bottom of the blocks. The clamping blocks and tightening knobs may be composed of a pet-friendly material and may be able to withstand stress from chewing. The knobs may fully contain the threaded rods and the nuts such that no part of the threaded rods or nuts is exposed to animals.
