A pet toy includes a wheel base that moves randomly or pseudo-randomly and a rod detachably connected to the wheel base configured to hold a treat or other food item desirable to the pet companion is described herein. The wheel base and/or the rod may have one or more modes of movement that may be activated based on a movement algorithm that randomly or pseudo-randomly moves/turns the wheel base and/or the rod and/or a one or more sensors that detect obstacles. A proximate end of the may be detachably connected to a corresponding rod connector of the wheel base. The distal end of the rod may be configured to grab and/or hold the food item and/or have the food item wedged into it.

The present invention relates to a novel cat house device. The device is designed to provide cats with a large, cozy housing area for sleeping, eating, and/or playing. Specifically, the cat house device can be available in various sizes and shapes to house both cats and kittens of different breeds and/or sizes. The device comprises a pop-up structure which comprises a foam bed, a blanket, and additional accessories. The device can be compacted into an easy to carry device with a handle, when not in use.

The invention comprises a novel pet toy and treat dispenser where inserted treats have to travel through a maze in order to be ejected out one of six openings. The bottom section is rounded so that it will rock and wobble. The top is transparent so the pet can see the treats, but they do not fall into any cracks or crevices for the humans to clean, and a screw cap helps keep inserted treats in the dispenser.

A dog toy with a body and a plurality of actuatable elements is disclosed. Each of the actuatable elements is coupled to at least one other actuatable element. Movement of one actuatable element causes a corresponding movement of another actuatable element.

A toy for a domestic pet can be used as a fetch toy or as an interactive toy that releases edible treats for the pet. The toy includes a mostly hollow body that defines at least one treat-dispensing opening. A scoop is disposed inwardly of the treat-dispensing opening to provide an amount of control over the dispensing of the treats. The scoop both helps dispense treats and limits the number of treats that are dispensed. The scoop is disposed inside the toy where the pet cannot easily interact with it or alter its operation.

A cat teaser includes a base, pogo pins of a power supply, a main body shell, a fixed frame, a main control circuit board, a main body motor, a laser emitting module, an auxiliary motor that swings up and down, and a conductive disc. The pogo pins of the power supply are in contact with the conductive disc. The conductive disc supplies power to the main control circuit board. The main control circuit board controls the main body motor, the laser emitting module and the auxiliary motor that swings up and down.

The embodiments disclose a stress and strain gauge including at least one stress and strain sensor module configured to sense stresses and strains being applied by an animal biting a rope extending from a protective hand guard, a stress and strain gauge indicator coupled to the at least one stress and strain sensor configured for measuring the sensed stresses and strains as strain levels, a processor coupled to the stress and strain gauge indicator configured to dynamically analyze and compare the strain levels to predetermined threshold strain level measurements to determine a current animal play level that varies incrementally, and an alert module wirelessly coupled to the processor configured to notify a user of the protective hand guard in real-time of the current incremental animal play level.

Implementations described and claimed herein provide systems, apparatuses, and methods for exercising and entertaining a pet. In one implementation, a pet exercise and entertainment device includes a launch funnel for launching projectiles for a pet to retrieve. The launch funnel has a feeder and a chute. The feeder is configured to receive a projectile and transport the projectile to an intake end of the chute. A sensor is configured to sense the projectile in the intake end of the chute and to command one or more motors to power up in response to sensing the projectile. An actuator is configured to release the projectile from the intake end of the chute into the launch end of the chute after a pre-determined time has elapsed. One or more wheels, rotated by the one or more motors, are configured to launch the projectile from the launch end of the chute.

The present invention relates to a dog retrieval tool device primarily comprised of a hollow body that has a first end, a second end, and a central recessed area. In differing embodiments, the body may be filled with water and/or air and may have the appearance of a plurality of differing waterfowls or colors known in the art. In order to allow a user to easily throw the device, the device is further comprised of a rope with a slip-resistant handle. Further, the body of the device is comprised of a padded neoprene cover that encapsulates the body. In this manner, the cover ensures the teeth and gums of a dog are not injured, when a dog bites the device.

The invention comprises a pet toy where the toy can be made to look like an animal or a fictitious character such as a unicorn. The outer shell is molded TPE and transparent so the pet can see a second inner toy inside which has a squeaker set-in to it and will squeak when the shells are compressed by a pet. The pet can see that there is an inner toy, but it does not dislodge from the outer shell.
