What Is BarkBox and How Does It Work?

This year, everyone is raving about BarkBoxes, as more dog owners sign up for these monthly care packages.

What is it, exactly? BarkBox is a monthly subscription service that sends treats and toys straight to your door.

Each month, BarkBox sends you a carefully selected selection of doggy treats, toys, and accessories to delight your dog! Simply select your dog's size, select your subscription length, and wait for your BarkBox to arrive!

Your BarkBox will be tailored to your dog's size. Depending on your dog's size, you can choose from a variety of Bark Boxes. The following sizes are available:

  • 0-10lbs Small BarkBox, also known as "Small & Cute"

  • 20-50lbs Medium BarkBox aka "Just Right"

  • 50+ lbs. Big BarkBox, also known as "Big & Bold"

What to Expect From BarkBox?

When you order a Bark Box, you'll get 4-6 things personalized for your dog every month. At the very least, each box contains:

  • 2 All-Natural Healthy Treat Bags

  • 2 Ingenious & Exciting Dog Toys

  • A dog is chewing

Every BarkBox is a mystery outside of this recipe, which is half the fun!

BarkBoxes have fun monthly themes that always correspond to the season – expect holiday-themed toys and treats for your dog to play with during the holidays!

Prices for BarkBox Subscriptions?

The cost of a BarkBox subscription varies depending on how long you sign up for. Subscribing to the 12-month Bark Box package is recommended for the best value. It comes out to $22/month, but you'll have to pay the whole year's cost ($228 total) upfront.

Please be aware that when you sign up for a 6-month or 12-month contract, you are committing to paying for those months. You would not be eligible for the discount if you sign up for a 6- or 12-month contract and then cancel.

Most people who are dissatisfied with BarkBox blame this on the fact that they don't always read the fine print and know that signing up for a 6-month plan means you're locked in for that long (although you should be able to change delivery dates or move months around if you are going away and will be out of town).

Allergy-Friendly BarkBox?

BarkBox understands that some dogs suffer from allergies, but that doesn't mean they have to miss out on the fun!

Since all BarkBoxes are wheat, corn, and soy-free (which is fantastic), you won't need to take any special precautions if your dog is allergic to certain ingredients.

If your dog is allergic to beef, chicken, or turkey, BarkBox has a special allergy-friendly choice for them, with hypoallergenic dog treats and goodies designed specifically for them. To get the allergy-friendly package, you'll need to email them directly.
