The present invention is directed to improved pet toys that are safe and attractive to small pets having sharp teeth, such as ferrets. The chew toy of the invention contains from 41 to 60 weight percent (wt %) gelatin, from 10 to 40 wt % plasticizer, and from 10 to 25 wt % water. The toy simulates the texture and consistency of rubber, but will dissolve in the animal's stomach and is easily digested.
