Abstract
A dual-purpose packaging for a pet-related product includes a flexible, non-toxic and bite-resistant enclosure filled with a pet-related product. The enclosure includes a retractable valve for selectively dispensing the pet-related product from within the enclosure. The packaging may further include a set of squeak elements associated with a corresponding set of air-filled chambers coupled to the enclosure. Accordingly, the enclosure may be reutilized as a pet chew toy once the pet-related product is substantially dispensed from within the enclosure.
