Frank the Dogtopus: The Dog Toy That Outsmarts Boredom

Hey friend, I’m Frank the Dogtopus. When your dog gives you those big, bored puppy eyes, I’m here to help. I challenge their mind, reward their instincts, and keep them happy and engaged — so you can relax knowing they’re having fun the smart way.

Meet Your Dog's New Best Friend... Me!

I’m Frank the Dogtopus—and my favorite game is "Detective"!
With me, they’ll spend up to 35 minutes untying knots, sniffing out hidden treats, and getting a rewarding workout for both mind and body. I keep pups focused, calm, and happy — while you reclaim a few peaceful moments for yourself.
Truly a win-win.

A Puzzle in Every Bite

Oh, did I mention? I’m stuffed with surprises.
Think of me as a treat-filled escape room for your pup. I’ve got 24 treat pockets, and each one is a mini adventure with barriers, spikes, rubbery bumps, and twisty little traps.
So go ahead, stuff me with their favorite snacks. It’s the ultimate “paw-zzle” for your four-legged Detective.

But Can They Untie… the Knot?

You noticed my fancy knots, did you?
Those tentacles are my secret snack-stash! Sure, your dog might find a treat or two on the surface… but the real treasure is locked up tight in these knots.

Untie me = snack time victory!

Chic & Cheerful

Not to brag, but I look pretty good lying around. In Green/Beige or Turquoise/Beige, I add a cheerful pop of color to your pup’s life and fit right in with your home. Finally, a toy that doesn’t scream ‘dog mess’ when left on the floor.

A Smaller Pawprint on the Planet

Much too often, toys end up in the trash after mere months of use.
I'm crafted from tough, planet-friendly materials like recycled cotton canvas and natural rubber. In fact, a lot of my parts were saved from heading to the landfill.
And the best part? I don’t call myself your dog’s best friend for nothing.
Real best friends stick around… and trust me, I’m built to last — from their energetic puppy years all the way to their calm senior days..

About My Creators

This is Ian and Frank. (Yep, my creators.)
Ian was the idea-man. Frank was the chaos-dog. Together, they sparked my creation.
During the pandemic, Ian moved back with his family… and Frank, who ruled the house, barking on Zoom calls and demanding attention. Ian thought: why not give her a puzzle?
One shredded bedsheet and countless prototypes later, I was born, durable, clever, and made for dogs who crave more than a squeaky toy.
