Everyone deserves a nice gift sometimes, and your dog is not an exception.
Your pet already has every toy imaginable, so it’s hard to think of something to give your dog that you know they’ll love. This year, consider purchasing your furry friend a gift that keeps on giving. With BarkBox, your dog will get new toys and treats every month of the year. Maybe you’ve never heard of BarkBox before, or maybe you’ve heard of it but don’t really know what it is. Here’s everything you need to know about BarkBox.
1. What is BarkBox?
BarkBox launched back in 2012, offering all-natural toys and treats to dogs in the United States and Canada. The boxes are sent monthly, with different contents every time. Since 2012, BarkBox has become increasingly popular. As of today, over 10 million BarkBoxes with over 50 million toys and treats have been shipped and delivered to dogs and dog owners across North America.
2. What is in each BarkBox?
Every BarkBox includes at least 2 toys, 2 treats, and a chew. The contents are different every month and are selected to fit the monthly theme. Some of the many themes include “Dogsmas in the City,” “Chewrassic Bark,” “Throwbark Thursday,” and “Sniffin’ Safari.” The toys and treats match the theme, with a dinosaur hatching out of an egg, a T-Rex bone, and Jurassic pork being just a few of the items in the “Chewrassic Bark” box. When you go to their website and click on “Get Started,” you’ll get to customize your BarkBox to your dog’s needs. They’ll ask for the size of your dog, which monthly plans you want, and if you want to include an extra premium toy in your BarkBox. They’ll use your responses to create a BarkBox you’ll dog will absolutely love.
3. How much does BarkBox cost?
The cost of BarkBox varies depending on which monthly plan you choose. Upon selecting your dog’s size, you’ll be presented with three monthly plan options. You can get twelve months of BarkBoxes for $20 per month, six months of BarkBoxes for $25 per month, or a single BarkBox for $29. You can also request a premium toy to be included in the box for an extra $9. They say the most popular choice is the 12-month plan, and all subscriptions come with free shipping.
4. Is BarkBox worth the price?
BarkBox gets great reviews, with a lot of people saying they’re good for dogs of every size and energy level. The retail value for each box averages around $40, so when you get the 12-month plan, you’ll be paying 50% less than if you bought all of the toys and treats separately. If your dog gets bored easily, BarkBox is a great way to keep toys and treats fresh. Your dog will be eagerly awaiting their monthly box of new and exciting things.
BarkBox is an excellent gift idea for your pet. It’s a great way to show your dog how much you love and appreciate them, and you’ll both be excited to see what each theme has to offer. You’ll know you’re getting your money’s worth when you see how happy your dog is every time they get a BarkBox.
