BarkBox January Review

Yeah! Another unboxing- this time I get to spoil my little baby Henry! A bit of background: Henry is my 7 month old Yorkie Poo. He is a little over 8 lbs- he is a big chewer and also loves stuffed animals particularly if they have a squeak and as big as he is.


BarkBox:
Type: Pet box
Cost: $29/month includes shipping $18/month for 6 month subscription
What is it?: This just for dogs pet subscription box offers 3 box options: Small & Cute (0-20 lbs), Just Right (20-50 lbs), and Big & Bold (50+ lbs). Each month you receive 4 or more products and present for your dog. Products can include treats, toys, shampoos, and even leashes. A great thing about BarkBox is that they give a portion of each box's proceeds to help dogs-in-need. Use my referral code to help me continue getting this box AND get $5 off your first box.

BarkBox is one of my favorite boxes- it may be THE favorite- even though it isn't even for me!

Small & Cute Box (for 0-20 lb dogs)

Henry was just as excited as his mommy to see this box sitting out on our front door.


Now on to the box contents! How cute does this look?!?!


Their adorable info card is written by Scout the office dog. I know it is a bit cheezy but I like the cuteness they put into every aspect of the box.


Elton the Octopus:
Jax and Bones- $14.00
Oh my goodness, this rope toy is beyond adorable. Looking up the price on their website I couldn't help but fall in love with all their rope toys- no wonder they were voted Best Pet Toy by Pet Product News! This company seems super great, they even donate a portion of each sale made to The Rescue Train, which is dedicated to saving animal lives. Love that BarkBox has introduced me to this great new company. So what does Henry think? He loves it!! He has been playing with it non-stop. Henry even brought it into bed last night. We played fetch a bunch and he can chew it forever! The genius of a rope toy like this is how durable it is- if you have a dog who loves to chew definitely look up this company and their toys because this is a lasting toy.

I also love splaying little Elton's legs flat to the ground so Henry can grab on.
Curly Bully stick:
Barkworthies-$5.99?
I was stoked to see this as Henry is a big chewer and CJ has bought him 2-3 curly bully sticks before (when I've been traveling) and he devours them. These bully sticks are 100% beef and they don't use bleaches or chemicals- yeah for safe pups! So Henry's thoughts?!? He seemed to like it because... he devoured it- literally. This thing was GONE by the end of the day. Our place is littered with his chews but nothing compared to this. And it is super adorable to watch him maneuver around the twists by the way.


Adorable
Wee-Nut:
Ruff Dawg- $6.18
This thing is so cute and comes in quite a few colors. The Wee-Nut helps keep teeth and gums healthy too which is a super plus! This is made to stuff treats and even though this is the WEE-nut I think this may a bit big for Henry. Henry isn't too into treat balls unless they have peanut butter or Dog Cheez-Whiz inside aka not solid treats but he might like this. P.S. this kind of has a strong smell to it-it isn't bad- it is kind of a sweet smell. It is a great addition though to give a mix of products.


Mini Yumzies Natural Peanut Butter Flavor Treats:
Nootie-$7.99
All natural. Grain free. #1 ingredient is chicken. Made in the USA. Peanut Butter flavor. Mini size perfect for training. Are you kidding me?!? These are perfect for Henry! Added bonus: These fit the Wee-Nut perfectly! Treats are usually the best part of BarkBox- they spoil my pup with healthy naturalness and he loves them. I haven't bought new treats since I started getting this box because they provide me with a steady supply- this was perfect timing since he just finished his previous fav treat which was from the November box. So Henry's thoughts? He went berserk when I brought these out! He goes crazy for PB so it wasn't a surprise he gobbled these up. He even stole the bag while I was unboxing and ran around with them for awhile. Adorable.


       
Verdict: This box had $30+ worth of products and I used a groupon for a 6 month trial which means I spent $10 on this box AKA this was well worth it! Honestly, even if I had spent the $29 on this box it would have been worth it. Henry loves getting new toys and treats and we love seeing him happy. We have never been unhappy with a box (the same night we unboxed we gave Henry a bath with a shampoo from the Dec box-we love this stuff). We find amazing toys AND get to see what our pup loves and doesn't care so much for. Plus-c'mon, a never ending supply of treats! This was my 3rd box which means I have 3 months left- I honestly can't see myself canceling my subscription when the 6 months end though- I am gonna try to find some money to put away for this is the future! If you want to spoil your best friend too I suggest the 6 month subscription ($18/month) because you won't be disappointed and don't forget to use my referral link for $5 off! Also look like if you manually enter in HEARTSBBX1 and you will get $10 and $10 will be donated to Hearts Speak for each box!
