Frisco Hide and Seek Plush Volcano Puzzle Dog Toy

I wasn't expecting too much when I ordered this because I've bought puzzle plushies before and they're usually too small for my dog. She's about 70 pounds, a pit/lab rescue, and usually she has a hard time getting her snout into the ports enough to pull the items out. But I thought this was cute and a reasonable price and unlike other ones I've purchased, each of the tiny dinosaurs squeak! In the least I hoped she would get a kick out of the little guys. This toy worked out much the same as others, once she's removed 2 or 3 of them which are partially sticking out from the holes, she can't really get any leverage to free the other dinos, the volcano collapses under her face and she ends up furiously I wasn't expecting too much when I ordered this because I've bought puzzle plushies before and they're usually too small for my dog.

But she has a lot of fun trying to get them and we help her remove the last ones and then stuff them back inside for her to try again. She can be hard on toys and this one has held up better than I expected. She does like to play with the tiny dinosaurs by themselves too. She likes throwing her plushies up in the air and these little dinos can really fly so that's a treat for her.. although you'll be walking into the kitchen and just see one sitting on the countertop or more recently my husband saw one on top of a cabinet that must be 6 feet tall! Overall they're a lot of fun and a good value, recommended even for the bigger dogs! … more

Our 3 month old wirehaired pointing griffon LOVES this toy. She can figure out the 'puzzle' part and pull the dinos out of the volcano in 5-10 minutes, but the dinos have also become one of her favorite toys. I wasn't sold on the concept but we needed something new to occupy her because she's already figured out how to open the door out of the puppy-proofed room in the month that we have had her - but now both me and the pup are very satisfied with the toy! She loves to see how many she can fit in her mouth or run around with her head stuck in the volcano. It is VERY cute - but be prepared to listen to a lot of squeaking. The toys seem to be well made and have held up against puppy teeth for Our 3 month old wirehaired pointing griffon LOVES this toy.

Like most dogs, my 5 month old lab puppy loves ripping plushy toys apart and disemboweling them. This toy, I think, lets them satisfy that same urge by digging into the volcano and pulling out the little dinosaurs - without actually destroying anything. As with any toy, you want to keep an eye on the dog so that once they're done pulling out the dinos, you can quickly re-stuff the volcano. Otherwise they might move onto the individual parts. Plus, you get to watch your dog look at you incredulously as you undo all their hard work :) The way my boy plays with this toy is extremely cute and hilarious. Love it, especially with the great price.

My dog absolutely loves his hide and seek toys, but I was bummed with how quickly he would be able to solve even the new ones. The first time I gave this to him, he spent several minutes figuring out how to remove all of the dinosaurs. While he can do it much more quickly already, it still takes longer than some of the smaller ones. He also gets so excited every time he sees me start putting the dinosaurs back in the volcano.

I purchased the plush volcano & mini dino's thinking it was the cutest toy ever... Which it was for about a week. My 7 month old mini Australian Sheppard destroyed the dino's with a quickness. She had ripped holes in every dino pulling the stuffing out and eating it. They are stuffed tight with that soft foam that looks similar to Halloween spider-web decor. I'm giving it 2 stars because the volcano part has lasted with no rips or tears and she does play with it. The volcano also makes a cool little extra storage for other little toys.

Although the idea is great fun my 2 year old Cavaliers (14 & 21 pounds) popped the seam on one dinosaur the first day. Day two teeth marks broke open the fabric and seams for stuffing and squeeker to come out. Ironically we have had the raccoons in a trash can for many more months and daily play and they are in pristine condition!

We have a very strong chewer Alaskan Malamute who destroys all toys. We have had this toy now for over a month and still in once piece. She loves playing hide and seek with it and will bring it to us over and over to put the dino's back inside. I do need to reorder some dinos because hers no longer squeak, first thing she goes after, but they are still in one piece and no stuffing coming out. Just ordered some more hide and seek toys for her, think they are her new fav!

Was concerned my large dogs would destroy it or the toy would be too small but my German Shepherd loves the little dinosaurs inside (carries them around without defluffing them) and loves to take any toys out of the volcano. Very happy, very entertaining toy for her! Wish the squeakers didn't break so quickly but still super fun for her.

I bought this puzzle toy on a whim while ordering some more dog food for Rudy and he absolutely LOVES it! I’m also shocked he hasn’t destroyed it yet (a new habit he picked up from another rescue pup friend!) It took him a little to figure out how to get every dino out but now it’s one of his favorite toys. We use it to play fetch, or you’ll find him walking around with one in his mouth.

it took him a couple tries to figure out exactly what he was supposed to do with it, but now that he gets it, he absolutely loves sticking his nose in the volcano and fishing out the dinos. i found it useful to throw a couple treats inside to help him figure it out, if anyone's having trouble with it. super super cute.
