Additionally, a method for creating an animal digestible chew gum is provided comprising the steps of creating a chewing gum base that includes a sufficient amount of an animal digestible elastomer to create a resultant chewing gum that is more digestible by an animal than a chewing gum without such an elastomer, and adding to the chewing gum base a water soluble portion to create a resultant chewing gum.
