Today is National Dog Day and what better way to spoil your fur-baby than with their very own subscription box filled with goodies for them. Creating gift boxes filled with healthy treats, toys and fun accessories will give you and your pet something to look forward to every month.
Subscription boxes for women, men, children and yes even our pets have become more popular over the last several years. The best ones provide fun for everyone. Toys that will keep them entertained for hours. Themes that will be fun for kids and pets. And treats they will love. This list contains some of our favorite picks for your furry friends.
1. The OG of Dog Subscription Boxes - BarkBox
Includes: Each Bark Box includes a box of treats, toys and accessories once a month. And bonus - each box has a different theme. 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. You can expect holiday themes around Christmastime. Other themes include: “The Bark Side Box” or “Bone Jour.” Every toy is designed by in-house industrial designers, made for the way dogs play and approved by the company’s own test dogs.
How it works/cost: Sign up is easy. Simply create an online profile. The website asks you about your dog, their size, dietary preferences, etc. You can choose either the standard BarkBox filled with plush toys or the Super Chewer Box filled with fluff-free tough toys - it just depends on what your dog prefers. BarkBox offers a 1-month subscription for $35/box, a 6-month subscription for $26/box or a 12-month subscription for $23/box.
