Frisco Hide and Seek Plush Volcano Puzzle Dog Toy

I hoped this would be a success after reading the other reviews and happy to report it is! Our rough collie loves this toy! He likes to poke his nose in and pull out the dinosaurs and sometimes just shake the volcano around when he's hyper. The volcano is quite strong as he's chewed the sides of the hole and no signs or wear and currently all the dinosaurs are still intact (he particularly likes to chew on their teeth, they're a different fabric and stick out a little). Plus the dinosaurs are a great small toy to play catch around the house.

I was so excited to order this for my puppy because I love dinosaurs! However, it was not a huge hit for us. Pros: Sturdy/very well constructed - both the volcano and the dinos; comes with lots of dinosaurs; can fit a large amount of toys inside Cons: the holes are way too large so it's not a challenge for the dinos to be pulled out - in fact, they fall right out on their own if picked up or tipped over I've repurposed this as a fun "toy box" for my pup's smaller toys. It can hold quite a bit and it proves much more challenging to get them all out when it's crammed full of a variety of things.

Our pup loves the little dinos! We like to hide treat on the inside of the volcano, plug the holes with the dinosaurs and let her go crazy. The one thing we don’t like is that dinos are a bit small for the size of the holes so they fall into the volcano very easily. But you can shove 2 dinos in one hole which will force your dog to work a bit harder to get to the treats lol. So not a huge problem!

We selected this particular plushy puzzle because of the T-Rex crew that hides in the volcano. Not gonna lie: we got a particularly mouthy puppy (we’re working on it!), who does a mean velociraptor impression. The wee plushies hide inside this surprisingly sturdy, durable plush volcano (never thought all those words would go together). Pupper pulls them out, and then runs at Jurassic speeds around the room, squeezing (and therefore squeaking) the wee dinos. I thought it would be a “quiet puzzle” game, but it inspires a great deal in puppy enthusiasm.

My boy likes to take his toys and hide as he chews them apart. I can't keep toys out for that reason. This toy was amazing because it keeps him interested and he gets very excited when I get it out. As he gets one dinosaur out of the volcano and starts to run off with it, I throw another one at him and he runs after that one. I can point out that there are more in the volcano and he tries to get them out. Tug of war with one toy usually lasts only a few minutes... this toy and all the little dinosaurs keep us playing for about 20 minutes before he gets bored and just tries to eat one. While they aren't the most durable, they seem to be holding up well after many play sessions. I also like that My boy likes to take his toys and hide as he chews them apart.

My cattle dog loves this toy! I was very pleased with the quality of the fabric and how cute the squeaky little dinos are. My cattle dog destroys plush toys, so I bought this one knowing it would possibly be a few weeks of enjoyment that ends in a pile of fluff. If that happens, that is fine with me because he enjoys getting new toys and playing with/destroying them. It's still a great value to me for his enjoyment either way since it's 6 total toys (7 if you could the shreddable volcano as well). This set is so cute though that I think I will try to keep it around for awhile by putting it away after a couple rounds of pulling the dinos out and squeaking them a bit.

This toy is so darned cute that I would play with it myself if the dogs rejected it. But they love it. First, one dog (55 pounds) removed all of the dinosaurs (heads up on handing this over to your dog: the dinos are connected to each other with plastic ties that need to be snipped). Then the other dog (65 pounds) commandeered the volcano. The first dog played with each dino individually (the squeakers died almost immediately, sadly). Then I stuffed them back in the volcano (which the other dog had abandoned) and the first dog pulled them out again. And so on. Some time was spent thrashing the volcano around. After about 10 minutes, the dogs were over it for the time being. Next day, the toy This toy is so darned cute that I would play with it myself if the dogs rejected it. But they love it.

The volcano and the dinos are well made, although not recommended for unsupervised play if your dogs shreds things. I purchased an extra set of dinosaurs in anticipation of casualties. The packet of dinos is a pretty good deal by itself, if you have a smallish dog. … more

My 2 large breed dogs love(d) this toy! Of course they chewed up the dinos and got a couple of holes in the volcano, but that's to be expected. I know how my dogs play with toys, so this was very engaging WHILE SUPERVISED. They work to pull the dinos out in a couple of minutes, squeak & chew them some, I stuff them back in before they can tear them up, then we do it over and over again. I stored it out of their reach when we were done, so it would last a while. My dogs can tear through the "tough" stuffed toys just as easily, so this was satisfactory in durability and price. I keep using the volcano with whatever toys fit in it, until I get replacement dinos here on Chewy, because my dogs love My 2 large breed dogs love(d) this toy!

My little corgi jack russell mix is a player that loves to silence the squeak, and unfortunately the little dinosaurs here weren’t up to the challenge. The volcano is cool for encouraging finding things but my little bud is already pretty talented there. Her favorite pastime is tugging and I found a winner here through Chewy. Frisco brand unicorn. She silenced the rather loud squeaker quickly but the stuffed unicorn is still intact after a week of tearing at it. This is worth the volcano for hiding treats and training your dog, but the dino’s won’t last vs a serious chewer.

Very fun and cute toy. Our 100lbs lab/mastiff loved digging through the holes and pulling the dinos out. Unfortunately she tore through the volcano after 1 day. Would definitely recommend for a smaller dog or one that is gentle chewer.
