Abstract
A cover device that houses, protects and safely and economically dispenses an edible product, such as a rolled rawhide. The cover device substantially encases an edible rolled product and effectively prevents the pet from accessing the ends of the product. Relatively small access windows provide chewing access to the edible rolled product. The cover body has a hollow cavity and openings allowing access to the rolled product. The rolled product can be prevented from rotating within the cavity by one or more pin projections extending within the hollow cavity.
Claims20
A roll product dispensing device comprising:
- a resilient cover body having an elongated hollow cavity;
- and
- an elongated edible roll product sized to be received into the hollow cavity of the resilient body, with portions of the cover body protecting ends of the roll product and with portions of the roll product being accessible to the pet via one or more access windows in the cover body.
A method of protecting and dispensing a roll product to a pet comprising:
- protecting the ends of the roll product by encasing the roll product within a resilient protective cover, said cover allowing only a small portion of the roll product to be easily accessed by the pet, and
- dispensing the roll product to the pet via one or more access windows in the protective cover, said access windows allowing the pet to access relatively small portions of the roll product thereby greatly increasing the duration of time the pet interacts with the roll product.
A roll product dispensing device comprising:
- a resilient non-edible cover body having an elongated hollow cavity positioned between a pair of generally closed ends, with said cover body being deformable and including at least one opening allowing insertion of an elongated edible roll product into the hollow cavity, with the closed ends of the cover body protecting ends of the edible roll product from contact with a pet, and with other portions of the roll product being readily accessible to the pet.
