1. Technical Field
This invention pertains generally to animal food dispensers and more particularly to a device for launching morsels of food to pets.
2. Background
Pet owners commonly desire to provide treats for their pets, such as dogs, cats, and the like in the form of small morsels of food. Commonly, these small morsels of food are in the form of kibble or other generally regularly sized dry portions of food. It is desirable to be able to dispense these morsels of food to the pet one at a time. Oftentimes, pet treats can be messy to handle, and it is therefore desirable for the person providing treats to a pet to avoid unnecessary handling of the treats. Additionally, it can be messy to carry around a supply of several pet treats.
Accordingly, there is a need for a pet treat dispenser that will dispense treats one at a time, will alleviate the need for a user to individually handle each treat as it is dispensed, and that will dispense the treats in an entertaining and satisfying manner for both the pet and owner.
