9 best pet subscription boxes
Every toy is designed by in-house industrial designers, made for the way dogs play and approved by the company's own test dogs.
Not only does BarkBox offer monthly deliveries of toys and treats, but each box has a unique theme. One month your dog might receive a collection of holiday-themed treats and toys while the next month his BarkBox might send him on a journey through Chewrassic Bark. Each box contains two innovative toys, two bags of all-natural treats, a chew, and a specially curated item from the month's themed collection.
To sign up, all you have to do is create an online profile, answering questions about your dog's size and dietary preferences. You can also choose from the standard BarkBox filled with plush toys or the Super Chewer Box filled with fluff-free tough toys.
From there you choose a monthly subscription at $29 per box or you can pay for six or 12 months at a time for a reduced price and bonus toys. The entire subscription process takes less than 5 minutes.
Testing the BarkBox
To write my review, Archie and I received two BarkBoxes with assorted toys, treats, and chews from the Bark Slope Street Fair collection. Here's what we received:
- Fresh Fair Treats, Duck Shish Kabob Recipe
- Fresh Fair Treats, Chicken & Fish Taco Recipe
- New York City Central Pork Pizza Treats
- Plato Pet Treats Thinkers Chew, Salmon Recipe (2)
- Max's Maine Lobster Roll (Plush Toy)
- Gideon the Pigeon (Plush Toy)
- Bebe the Burrito (Plush Toy)
- Lickton Iced Tea (Spiky Core Toy)
- Shuck n' Chuck Corn Cob (Super Chewer Toy)
- The All-Powerful Pupsicle (Super Chewer Toy)
- Buns of Steel Hotdog (Super Chewer Toy)I waved the toy around a couple of times then offered it to him. He immediately grabbed it out of my hand, ran down the hall into the bedroom, and started chewing.
- Archie loves a good plush toy, especially if there's a squeaker involved. But what he really loved about Max's Maine Lobster Roll was the crinkle noise it made. Several other toys in the collection made similar noises and he seemed to prefer them above the hard Super Chewer toys. He gobbled up the treats (which was a little surprising since he's been picky about treats in the past) and he made quick work of the chews as well.I'm now writing this several weeks after receiving Archie's BarkBox.My bedroom floor is currently covered in tufts of stuffing ripped out of several plush toys I'd received as gifts. Archie's beloved stuffed lamb and puppy are no more, but his BarkBox plush toys are still around (though he did manage to get the squeaker out of Gideon the Pigeon and chewed that to shreds).Needless to say, I think he's a fan of BarkBox and so am I.
What's the verdict?
Archie will chew on or play with just about anything, so I'm not surprised he loved the BarkBox so much. I am, however, pleased with the quality and durability of the toys. Even the plush toys from the regular BarkBox stood up well and I'm convinced the Super Chewer toys will last forever.
