Abstract
An egg treat has the general shape of a slice of a hard-boiled egg. The yolk portion contains real egg yolk solids, while the outer egg-shaped portion contains flour and any type of nutritious meal, including meat meal, fish meal, oatmeal, or the like. Flavorings, as well as vitamins, coloring agents, and minerals may be included. The treat is hard and helps to clean a pet's teeth and gums, and provides chewing exercise for a pet. The treat preferably has an appearance simulating the yolk color and the shape of a hard-boiled egg, and has a larger shaped base portion having a light coloring to simulate the egg white portion of a hard-boiled egg.
