Baxter and Buddy’s Barkbox arrived yesterday (along with about a million other packages) and I let them dig right into it ;). They are always super excited and look forward to seeing what’s in the box. In case you aren’t in the know like the furries are, BarkBox is a monthly subscription box for dogs. Packages start at $29/month, $22/month for 3-months or $17/month for 6-months.
However, I got my 6-month subscription through Groupon for $60, so I only paid $10/month. They have Groupon deals fairly often, so if your dogs don’t mind waiting, I’d totally wait till it comes up again.
Now let’s get started. Here’s what was in this month’s box:
It doesn’t come right out and say there is a theme, but I’d clearly call this a holiday box. Here’s why:
Bocce’s Bakery Holiday Feast Treats ($9.50): These treats are made from all natural chicken, pumpkin, cranberries and cinnamon in an NYC bakery. Baxter and Buddy are kind of picky about their treats (they like soft ones), but I bet their cousins wouldn’t mind taking them off their hands! Oh and I am starting to realize that Baxter and Buddy may eat better than I do.
Fresh Dog Oatmeal Shampoo ($1.41): This stuff smells amazing and I am certain Baxter and Buddy are super excited about taking a bath with it. Okay, maybe I lied about that last part. But I am excited to have two super good smelling dogs.
Simply Fido Holiday Moose ($11.99): Okay, Im just going to admit it. I briefly considered giving this to WB instead of the dogs. It’s that adorable. And soft and I love it. Simply Fido is a Brooklyn-based organic toy supplier and they have some of the cutest dog toys I have ever seen. If WB sees this and wants to claim it as his own, that’s fine by me!
Red Velvet Puppy Cake ($6.99): Seriously, red velvet cake for dogs? Seriously? It’s wheat-free and you know I am going to make it for the dogs. I mean, I am certain I have done crazier things. Why not make them a cake with frosting?
All totaled I came with with a value of $29.89 for this box. Not a bad deal at all considering I only paid $10! If your dogs can’t wait for a Groupon deal or you want to give a fun (late) holiday gift to some special dogs this year, click you can order thru my BarkBox link and enter code “RAMBLING10” to save $10 on your order.
If you click the clicky BarkBox, you will be directed to the BarkBox site. And if you buy something I will get credit and Buddy and Baxter will love you forever and might even come
Totally love the last picture!
Great box! They look so happy – maybe even smiling?!
MY puppy loves love loves that reindeer- it’s adorable BUT I got my box early this week and gave him 1 1/2 of the treats and the next morning he had massive amounts of diarrhea. I don’t know why- he usually isn’t picky but I am pretty sure they were the cause- be careful whether you keep them or give them to someone.
We got the exact same box but a bigger stuffed reindeer, which Nevada loves. They sure would love those treats although I will watch out for diarrhea. That’s no fun!
HI, i was reading that you said Groupon has specials..i was thinking about waiting on a special to get this for my dogs. How can i find out when groupon has a special? Do i have to keep checking on their weekly? (I’ve never used Groupon).
Also do any of the other subscription boxes have coupons on groupon?
By the way – i love your blog. You kids and husband are so cute and i love to read what you write. Thanks for this little bit of fun in my day:-) p.s.. you are getting me addicted to subscription boxes:-)
Aww, thank you! I would check Groupon and other sites like it (Plum District, Living Social, House Party Deals, Eversave, Seize the Deal, etc.) on a regular basis to see what deals they have. I have seem lots of subscription boxes on deal sites. I’ve seen Barkbox, bluum, Citrus Lane, Conscious Box, Wonder Box, Love With Food, BabbaBox, Umba Box, Wittlebee, Green Kids Craft, etc. So many! Also, follow the Facebook pages of the boxes you are interested in because there are often codes for new subscribers! Hope this helps!
Thanks for being so responsive:-) I will check all the sites you listed…and facebook pages too.
