A molded pet toy includes sections or layers of various hardnesses. The pet toy may be constructed through known injection molding, transfer, or compression molding processes. The layers and sections typically have varying hardnesses which facilitates use of the pet toy for a specific purpose. For use as a pet toy, an optimal arrangement provides that the outermost section or layer is of a lower hardness, while the inner sections or layers have a higher hardness. Durability of the pet toy is increased through the molding process which prevents separation between the layers. The pet toy is preferably shaped aerodynamically so it may be easily thrown by a user.

What is claimed is: 1. A molded pet toy comprising: a first layer made of a material selected from the group consisting of cloth, fabric, and canvas; a second layer of material placed over an upper surface of the first layer, the second layer being made of a material selected from the group consisting of natural rubber, synthetic rubber, and combinations of natural and synthetic rubber; a third layer placed against a lower surface of said first layer, said third layer being made of a material selected from the group consisting of natural rubber, synthetic rubber, and combinations of natural and synthetic rubber, and wherein said third layer has a material hardness different from said second layer, and wherein said pet toy is manufactured in a compression molding process wherein said second and third layers become chemically bonded through vulcanization. 2. A pet toy, as claimed in claim 1, wherein: said second layer has a higher hardness than said third layer. 3. A pet toy, as claimed in claim 1, wherein: said third layer has a higher hardness than said second layer. 4. A pet toy, as claimed in claim 1, wherein: said pet toy has a circular shape. 5. A pet toy, as claimed in claim 1, wherein: said pet toy has a circular shape, and an annular lip formed about a periphery of said pet toy. 6. A pet toy, as claimed in claim 5, wherein: said circular shape comprises a body of said pet toy, and said annular lip extends substantially perpendicular to said body. 7. A method of manufacturing a pet toy, said method comprising the steps of: providing a layered configuration forming a preform, said preform comprising a first interior layer made of a material selected from the group consisting of cloth, fabric, or canvas, a second layer placed over and in contact with the first layer, said second layer being made of a rubber material, and a third layer placed under and in contact with the first layer, said third layer being made of a rubber material having a hardness that is different from the second layer; providing a mold of a desired shape; introducing the three layered preform into a mold cavity of the mold; conducting a molding operation to mold the preform wherein the second and third layers become integrally bonded through vulcanization. 8. A method, as claimed in claim 7, wherein: said molded pet toy has a circular shape. 9. A method, as claimed in claim 7, wherein: said molded pet toy has a circular shape including an annular lip. 10. A method, as claimed in claim 7, wherein: said second layer is made of a rubber material having a higher hardness than said third layer. 11. A method, as claimed in claim 7, wherein: said rubber material is selected from the group consisting of natural rubber, synthetic rubber, and combinations of synthetic and natural rubber.
