BarkBox is a monthly subscription box for dogs. Each monthly box contains a combination of 4-6 treats, toys, and hygiene products that have been hand-selected and approved by Scout (the dog), head product tester for BarkBox. All treats included in the boxes are sourced from the USA and Canada, and chews are sourced from the USA, Canada, South America, Australia and New Zealand, so you can be assured that your pet is only getting safe, high-quality items. Boxes can be customized based on the size of your pet, and you can add an extra toy to your box for an extra $9/month. We have been getting BarkBox for ages and have always been satisfied with them.

BarkBox ships via DHL Global Mail (starts out with DHL and is delivered by the Post Office) and took just a few days to arrive this month. I generally expect it to arrive on or around the 20th of the month.

I don’t post about it enough, but BarkBox does such an amazing job with their themes each month.  Everything fits together perfectly from the information card to the products to the interior packaging paper.

The March 2017 Bento & Blossoms BarkBox included the following items:

~Pet Play Geta Plush Toy (~$10):  It took a lot of googling and a text to my SIL (who also had no idea), but this type of footwear is called “Geta”!  They are usually made from wood, but that might be a little rough on the dog’s teeth, so this is a plush toy with a nylon bootstrap.  Buster (our new puppy)  LOVED.  He can’t figure out how to make it squeak, but it’s only a matter of time.

~Sydney’s Salmon Nigiri (~$5): Turns out Buddy and Buster both love sushi ;).  This salmon sushi has a little squeaker inside and is perfect for fetch or just fighting over with your dog brother.

~Hello Ducky! Duck Flavored Dog Treats ($8): These were a big hit! Buster ran off with the toys that were in this box and Buddy (our Yorkie) continued to sit next to me because he knew that the box would not only have toys but treats as well.

~Mr. Porkle Teriyaki Pork Flavored Dog Treats ($6): Buddy loved these too ;).  They are soft and chewy, all-natural and made in the USA.

~Premium Buffalo Chews ($3): Buster tried to run away with this still in the wrapper, so it’s clearly a hit.  He’s got those sharp puppy teeth and pretty much needs to be chewing on something the entire time he is awake, so this is ideal.

All totaled my March 2017 BarkBox has a value of about $30.  Not a huge value, but we just love this box!  Buddy was already a fan, but Buster (below) is catching on quick.  Also, Buddy would like me to mention he’s more than happy to share the posing duties with Buster.  In fact, I think he is going to try and talk Buster into doing all the work, and he’ll just eat the treats. It’s not going to happen, but he’s going to try ;).
