Abstract

See full text

The invention provides a dispenser configured to house one or more freely moveable treats in a hollow interior cavity and to randomly release treats through a limited number of dispensing holes only if a treat is in a limited orientation relative to a dispensing hole. The dispenser is made of a flexible, resilient material into a shape that promotes an irregular bounce when the dispenser contacts a generally flat surface. The dispenser can be used to promote prolonged engagement by challenging a pet to cognitively manipulate the dispenser so that treats inside the dispenser are randomly released.
