BarkBox is the best gift for your Dog!

BB_boxes

I am a new Pup owner and so now I am on the look out for cool things for my new Pup. I came across BarkBox. This is a monthly subscription box of goodies for your dog. Your dog will love receiving a box of toys and treats every month! We received some really cool items and can’t wait to receive the next one!

Inside April’s BarkBox was a Yeti Corporation Medium Yak Chew: A taste of the Himalayas! This all-natural dog chew is made from yak and cow milk and is an incredible long-lasting and tasty alternative to rawhide. My pup liked this one a lot! We also received Sojo’s Simply Lamb treats: Gently freeze-dried to lock in natural enzymes, vitamins and minerals, these Simply Lamb treats from Sojo’s are simply delicious, according to my pup. His two favorites though were the toys! The BarkMade Flowers Bouquet was a hit!

Isn’t is just adorable?

 

My dog is a chewer so it didn’t quite last as long as he would have liked but it was cute! A spring bouquet is just perfect for this Spring! Both of our favorites…is the petprojekt Squeaki Tiki. This one is very squeaky and durable. I also like that it is BPA free, cadmium free, and lead free! One really nice thing is that you also receive a card in your box with descriptions, prices of the items and the Reorder codes.

BarkBox is also really a user-friendly website. You simply select your dog size form Tiny to Big & Bold. (Small & Cute and Just Right are in between). Then you select a monthly plan. You can subscribe for one month thru 12 months. You get the best deal if you order for 12 months. It is $19.00 a month if you subscribe for 12 months). Then you simply wait for the box of gooodies to arrive! You can also cancel at any time and shipping is free. I also find reading the BarkPost is really cool too! You may want to Pupscribe!

We can’t wait to see what surprises are in May’s BarkBox! Bink is patiently waiting…
