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.

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 January 2018 BarkBox theme was “The Knights of the Hound Table.” Our Small BarkBox included the following items:

~Fur-Haired Maiden ($10): Squeaky and totally adorable.  I don’t know too much else about this because the dogs quickly ran off with it.

~Grimbold the Dragon ($8): This guy has squeakers his the head and body and crinkle wings! The horns are made out of durable ballistic nylon horns, so he’s ready for any battle!

~Winner Winner Chicken Dinner ($10): These chicken dog treats are made in the USA without wheat, corn, or soy.  They are moderately chewy, and my dogs loved them!

~Bacon Flavor Pocket Trainers ($8): Another huge hit with my dogs.  These are tiny bacon-flavored, grain-free training treats.  Also good if you just like to spoil your dogs with snacks.  They’ll be getting lots of treats, but they are tiny, so it’s not really overdoing it!

~Etta Says Premium Deer Recipe Chews ($4): These chews are made in the USA from American deer.  My dogs go crazy for them, and they’ll get their paws on this just as soon as I am ready to listen to them fight about it for hours.All totaled I came up with a value of $40 for the January 2018 BarkBox.  In all the years I have subscribed (it’s been over 5), they haven’t let me down. It’s a high-quality, well-curated box with a fair value month after month.
