BarkBox is a reader-favorite monthly subscription box service for dogs (woof!). In each high-quality box, your pupper gets 2 bags of all-natural dog treats made in the U.S. or Canada, 2 innovative toys, and a chew, all inspired by a quirky new monthly theme. Past themes like “Dogsgiving,” “Peanuts,” and “Lick or Treat” didn’t disappoint. Prices start at $23/box for a 12-month plan and include free shipping inside the 48 contiguous United States. Each box is valued at over $40.
BarkBox not only tops our Reader's Choice list for Best Dog Subscription Boxes, but also comes in 2nd place with their alternative Super Chewer box, so if your dog is larger and tends to destroy toys, you might want to check out reviews of that box as well!

"Caring company!! "
Our dog Rosie unexpectedly passed away. When I contacted Bark Box, they were so compassionate. There was not one issue with canceling the subscription. They even sent me two very nice handwritten condolence cards with one having a very nice watercolor art piece of Rosie with her favorite Snoopy. To me, this is what is lost with many companies, to take the time to show you care. If you are looking for quality fun toys and treats, this is the monthly subscription you want.
When our home is blessed with a new member, Bark Box will be my first call. I hope whoever is reading this, helps you make your decision. It's easy to ship a box and make money. it takes a real company to show compassion and show they do believe that what they do makes a difference in our pet's and families' lives. Thank you Bark Box for being there.

"Good box, dogs love it."
My Dogs love this box. I have a very playful Kokoni that opens it with me and just dives right in. The treats are a hit with me because the dogs don't throw them up. I'm just gonna assume they taste good. And having fresh toys every month is a big bonus. One of mine loves to chew and play and they get worn out pretty quick, so this keeps her with plenty of options and I dont have to feel bad when I sneak an old tired one off to the trash.
On a side note, some of these options have become a regular purchase so thats always a bonus. Like the bag of chews from the last box went over so well that I ended up buying a big bag so they can each have one at bed time.

"I recommend "
I like Barkbox and think it’s worth the cost for organic treats made in USA and durable toys with free extra bonus toy or double your box promotions. They also have add ons to your subscription like add second box for $17 and some change. I like how if you have any issues with toys, they have excellent customer service and will make it right for you and your pup.

"Love This Company"
Just rejoined barkbox and unfortunately who ever delivered the box left it on the front porch because it never showed up! I contacted barkbox by text and there sending my pup a replacement box for free! Wonderful Company! If you can afford it please get your pup a subscription! They are very responsive when you contact them! There toys are seriously indestructible! I have a 52 pound pit/Boxer and she can never destroy the toys! So worth the money! Very reasonable prices! Thank You Barkbox!

"Uncanny customer service "
The customer service is uncanny! If you have any questions, concerns or a complaint they get to you right away! You can text, so no waiting on hold forever and they return your text right away! I’ve reached out twice for questions and once for a concern, every single time they were super friendly and resolved my question right away! I definitely recommend them. My dog loves his box!

"Amazing Experience; 2 year subscriber!"
I am so impressed with BarkBox. I had reached out to let them know I never received 2 boxes and they sent me new ones with an extra toy in each!!! My dog is a lab/hound mix, about 50lbs, and 2.5 years old. He likes to chew, but only when I am home with him. He sometimes can destroy the toys as he likes to suck on ears, hands, feet, etc (little parts of the toys) and then tries to pull them off with his teeth LOL he is often successful at reaching the fluff with this method, but sometimes the toy is so well made that him biting those things off is not an issue and the toy remains intact (like the scooby doo toy, for example, he is missing both his ears but the toy itself is fine haha! Anyway, i would recommend this company to anyone!

My best doggie friend and I love BARKBOX! I can not say enough good things about this company. Quality products and food/treats. Customer service is outstanding. I have called, emailed and used online chat and all questions were answered on the spot and managed to my satisfaction. The only reason we are no longer receiving our subscription is due to pandemic eco (no job) issues. This will be the first subscription I reinstate.

I love BarkBox. It is a great service for getting treats and toys to your dog, especially if your dog gets bored easily. It's cheaper to have BarkBox than it is to buy the same amount of toys/treats from your local pet store.

FAQ
Is a BarkBox Subscription easy to cancel?
You can disable your auto-renewal on your account dashboard page, but you’ll still receive the boxes you initially signed up to get. The 3-, 6-, and 12-month plans can’t be ended early. The Happy Team is there to help make your boxes amazing and answer any questions. You can also make changes and add extra items to your BarkBox on your account dashboard page.
How much does BarkBox cost?
BarkBox is $23/month for a 12-month subscription, $26/month for a 6-month subscription, and $35/month for a monthly subscription, plus free shipping within the contiguous 48 United States. Each box contains at least $40 worth of treats, toys, and chews. Shipping to Hawaii, Alaska, and Canada is $8. The more durable Super Chewer ranges from $30 to $45/month per box (depending on length of commitment) and each box is valued at over $45.
What do you get with BarkBox?
Each box (aka month long dog party) comes with 2 bags of treats made in the U.S. or Canada, 2 one-of-a-kind dog toys (think squeakers), and a tasty dog chew. The boxes are curated based on each month’s different new theme.
What size BarkBox should I get for my dog?
BarkBox offers three sizes for subscribers. They’re all the same price and you can update it anytime. Small is for most small dogs under 20 lbs, medium for medium dogs 20-49 lbs, and large is for large dogs over 50 lbs. If your hound is extra tough on chew toys, Super Chewer is your best bet.
