BarkBox
Dog subscription box services are a growing trend, and a great solution to having plenty of toys, treats and health items on hand for your dog delivered to your door each month.
BarkBox is the leader of the monthly dog box pack in both sales and name recognition. This company lives up to the hype with high-quality, reliable products that deliver canine satisfaction. They've had over 2 million pups subscribe and best of all, they're among the least expensive services you'll find.
BarkBox has fun themed boxes. Each box contains 2 innovative toys, 2 all-natural bags of treats and a chew centered around a theme. And if your pup doesn't love an item, they'll send a free replacement.
