The yolk portion contains egg yolk solids, while the outer egg-shaped portion contains flour, egg solids and any type of nutritious meal, including meat meal or the like. The treat is hard and helps to clean pets' teeth and gums, and provides chewing exercise for pets. The product preferably has the appearance of a slice of a hard-boiled egg.
