ABSTRACT:
This invention is directed toward a hollow food dispensing treat toy that can be filled and re-filled with animal food for unfrozen or frozen applications. The treat toy is designed to provide a mental and physical challenge to an animal desiring to lick out the contents of the container. The treat toys can be frozen in a conveniently-sized storage sleeve that fits in the shelf portion of an average freezer, and then removed at desired times. Whether unfrozen or frozen, the treat toys can be either given to the animal directly, or placed inside a larger hollow enclosing container with a hole such that the animal must align the holes in the containers to have easy access to the treat inside. Because of the design of the invention, an animal can remain entertained at length trying to extract all of the treats.
