Abstract
A food dispensing pet toy includes an outer shell defining an inner void and has one or more apertures sized to accommodate kibble for passing into the inner void of the outer shell. An inner shell is located within inner void of the outer shell, defines an innermost void, and includes one or more apertures sized to accommodate the kibble for passing into the innermost void. The inner shell is independent from the outer shell such that the inner shell is freely moveable within the outer shell. Kibble may be loaded into the innermost void and be dispensed as the toy is jostled during play, thereby incentivizing the pet to continue play.
