Abstract
A pet toy and method for occupying a pet. In one embodiment, the pet toy comprises a cylindrical main body member including a top end having a top wall, a bottom end opposite the top end that is open, and an annular side wall between the top end and the bottom end. The pet toy further comprises a core member configured to insert into the bottom end of the cylindrical main body member, and having a treat container configured to contain a pet treat. The top wall of the cylindrical main body member includes a treat access hole facing toward the treat container when the core member is inserted into the cylindrical main body member, and further includes one or more vents that serve multiple functions including relieving suction forces during use and redirecting saliva into the pet toy to prevent unwanted mess.
