September Barkbox

The furries September BarkBox arrived a few days ago (during one of my crazy mail days) and the furries were SO excited! Okay, fine. They actually had no idea that any of the box were for them. They just like when the mail lady knocks on the door. And OMG if they actually get to talk to her? They go crazy!

September Barkbox
The Box

Barkbox ships via DHL Global Mail and took, goodness only 3 days to get to me (NY to MI) once it was actually picked up from BarkBox! It was impressive and gives me hope for DHL to improve their shipping times.

September Barkbox
First Look

Ohh, I was loving the first look! I saw a bunch of things that, well, I’d never seen before! I love discovering new problems so when I see a box full of “new stuff” I am a happy girl.

September Barkbox
The Information Card

The September Barkbox is inspired by back to school and included toys to get the mind stimulated, chews to keep occupied, yummies inspired by the cafeteria lunches and even first aid goods for boo-boos on the playground (okay dog park).  I also received a little card that said that I did not receive everything on the information card and got something else my dog would enjoy.  Baxter and Buddy don’t mind, so neither did I.

~Wagatha’s Organic Dog Biscuits ($5.48): Is it wrong to admit that I am DYING to try these?  I’m not going to of course, but do they really taste like pizza?  It’s not like Baxter and Buddy are going to tell me!  I’ll actually probably give these to my brothers dogs (he now has 3) because my furries prefer soft little treats.

~It’s Purely Natural Dog Treats ($3.60): This is the item that is not on my information card.  I consider these to be more of a chew than just a treat because it takes my dogs so long to eat them!

It’s Purely Natural Dog Treats

~VetraCare Pet Liquid Bandage ($7.99): Ohh, I can think of a handful of recent occasions we could have totally used this!  It’s not like you can just stick a bandaid on a dog so you basically have to hold something to it to until it stops.  I think we’ve used vaseline too?  Either way, this is better!

~Aussie Naturals Floppie Koala ($7.99): This.is.perfect! WB and Buddy (he’s the dark brown dog) love to play tug of war and this is perfect for them. It’s soft enough for WB to hold, but also strong enough (it’s got a rope toy inside instead of stuffing) for them to be rough with. Love it!!

All totaled, the September BarkBox has an estimated value of $25.06.  It was more than the monthly cost of the box (which again is $18/month if you subscribe for 6 months or more), but wasn’t the most “valuable” box to date.  Do you subscribe to Barkbox?  What’d you think of this month’s box?  If you want to subscribe or learn more, click here.  And don’t forget to use the code “RAMBLING10″ to save $10 off your first Barkbox!

  3. Breann

    I have a little biewer yorkie named Sissy! I would love to have another reason to spoil her!

  4. Heather

    We have a lhasa apso maltipoo mix. She’d love to try bark box.

  5. Suzanne

    I have an English and Springer Spaniel named Willy and my husband has a boxer named Penny. Willy does not like Penny since she can be a little “enthusiastic” so I have to pretend that I don’t like her either. But, she really is a sweet dog!

  6. Lisa D

    I soooo want this! I have debated back and forth about this box. I have four dogs…two yorkies and two Maltese that would love this.

  7. Alicia

    I have an english bulldog/bassett hound mix and a german shephard mix. They love barkbox!

  8. Rachael

    2 rescue mutts who are the greatest dogs!

  9. Kaitlin

    I have a black lab mix who is ~ 50 pounds. I call him the toyota corolla of labs 😛 His name is Gavin and he’s a snuggle monster!

  10. Jordan M

    I have two long haired gold dachshunds that would love a box devoted to just them!

  11. Lauren

    I want a Barkbox sub so bad! We have a 6 month old Bernese Mountain Dog puppy (who is 70 freaking pounds already!) and I know he’d love it. I think I’m going to buy him a sub for Christmas!

  12. Kim

    I have 2 pugs!

  13. Amanda Dukes

    would love to try this out for my little picky girl

  14. Alexia561

    I have a whippet mix named Waffles, and would love to win her a 3 month subscription! Fingers crossed we win, as this is a great box!

  15. Sandy

    I have 3 dachshunds (15, 3, and 7 months) and I probably do not need to say they love treats. I am very restrictive with the quality and quantity to avoid them becoming the size of mobile ottomans. My BarkBox differed slightly from yours; I did get the duck treats by Plato which I like and have purchased in the past. However, I would have liked the “biscotti” since that is a new product to me. The toys included each month are always the 2 younger boys’ favorite; ours was a Tasmanian devil. The “band-aid in a spray” would have been useful last month when the two younger boys had a bit (bite?) of a disagreement resulting in the puppy with small notch missed from his ear. Opportunity for new nickname for him: “Nick”.

  16. Amy P

    My Maltese pup Leo would love toys like that when he’s alone during the weekdays.

  17. shelley

    I have a lab pointer mix. She would love to get this.

  18. m

    I am not subscribed to any boxes but I love this one so much and I am sure Gina would love it too 🙂

  19. I have a rather big yorkie (18 lbs) and a medium black and white. The little one loves the treats and the medium one loves the toys, so the box would be for both!

  20. Paola Z

    I have three Chihuahuas and I reaaaally want this! My babies would love to try bark box. Thank you for the giveaway(:

  21. Pattie

    We have a Chocolate Lab named Mocha Bean! Her favorite delivery person is the UPS man – she once jumped in his truck and expected a ride around the neighborhood! Of course it didn’t happen but it was funny to see her sitting in the truck!

  22. Joanne

    My poms want this box. They told me.

  23. Tiffany G

    I have a wolf hybrid named Brody! We got a 3 month subscription before and he just loved it would be great to win!

  24. Kristin Jesneck

    I have a Jack Russell Terrier who would love these products! We have debated back and forth about getting it for him, but we cannot decide if it’s worth it or not.

  25. Wehaf

    I have two mutts (one medium, one large) who would love everything in this package.

    I have two awesome rescues, Louie and Harley, who always like special treats! Lou is a cocker spaniel, and Harley is a mix.

  34. Laura G.

    Hi Jen, thanks for the bark box giveaway. I have a long haired chihuahua (male) that I have emasculated by naming him Rosebud. Just like that name for a Chi. He’s a real sweetie and deserves an extra treat. I also have a huge young male black cat that likes to play with big toys, so he would get use out of the box as well. (His name is Blackberry). Thanks! Hope you have a great week.

  35. Wendy McKenna

    My Great Danes would love this!

  36. Jaci

    I have 3 beagles and they LOVED the Barkbox this month!!

  37. Amanda

    Okay, so I’m a dumb-ass bitch. I saw the giveaway and I was all, “SIGN ME UP!!!” And then half way through I realized it was BarkBox (yeah, way to read, Amanda). And I don’t have a dog. So if you pick me, don’t pick me.

    God, I’m a moron. I promise to read next time.

  38. raina

    I have a husky who would love this.

  39. Ashley

    My yellow lab absolutely loves BarkBox, but we just ended our subscription to gauge if it was fiscally responsible. 😉 We’ve been with them since the beginning, so it was heartbreaking to stop for a while.

  40. Hilary

    I have an old-english bulldog who would LOVE this!! I actually got Barkbox this month for him and he absolutely loved it! He even played with the cardboard box it came in for a whole afternoon (I think it smelled like the pizza treats?). We got this really cute rope turtle that is SO durable and perfect for him because he tears things up. I loved getting this for him but unfortunately don’t think I cant really commit to this monthly right now. I wish you could get it less often! Anyways TANK would love to win a few more months 🙂

  41. Megan

    Winston, my rat terrier, would love this! He loves getting mail!

  42. Tori

    My sweet Shanny Mae is a 20lb white Schnauzer. I adopted her 3 years ago, and it was the best decision I ever made!

  43. Jean Eckert

    Our shiz-tsu/Beagle mix Max would love to get a box in the mail! I’m sure he gets jealous of the boxes everyone else gets each month 🙂

  44. megan cantrell

    I have two rescue mutts that LOVE treats and toys of any kind

  45. kara

    Bosco would love to win a subscription! We rescued him from a shelter 9 years ago. They thought he was a red boon coon hound/ beagle mix.

  46. Amanda Spiegel

    I have a German short haired pointer and a black lab mix

  47. Evelyn

    I always have an assortment.lol I tend to get a different breed every time I get a new dog. At one point I had five but two have passed in the last two years.(16yrs & 11yrs) I currently have a Great Dane-Hobbs 7yrs, a Dachshund-Weasel 8yrs and a Pomeranian-Juniper Lee 6yrs. I’m especially attached to my pom Juni he came at a tough time for me. We’ve done all kinds a fun things together like obedience and rally. Definitely a great gift from my hubby. 🙂

  48. Danielle

    My snoodle peanut would love to receive this box in the mail she loves gifts!

  49. Julie P.

    Our dog, Dumpling, is a shih-tzu mix that we adopted from a shelter 18 months ago!

    We have two former shelter dogs. A Weim mix, and a Lab mix. They are the sweetest girls. They are like kids to me, sure they shed, track in mud, and have lots of “issues”, but we love them anyway 🙂

    I want to win this for my dog Max! He is a lab/ridgeback mix!
