BarkBox for September 2012 featuring Cobo & Zeus Pics!

On my quest for the best subscription services, I stumbled upon BarkBox! For those that don’t know, I have 2 dogs & a cat. Cobo is a Boxer/Shar Pei & Zeus is a Poodle/ Shih Tzu. Both are rescue mixes & spoiled beyond belief. When I come back, I want to be one of my dogs. Getting to spoil THEM with a monthly subscription is pretty incredible…& they love getting mail.

About BarkBox:
When you sign up for BarkBox, every month you will receive a box in the mail with four or more carefully selected products and presents for your dog – anything from bones and treats to shampoos, leashes and innovative new gadgets!
If your dog is begging for more or you want to gift a favorite item to a friend, we’ll give you exclusive opportunities to order more products at a great rate.
A portion of proceeds from each box will go to help doggies-in-need. To learn more about our causes, read about our giving program.
Whether you’ve known your furry friend for years or have a new special canine in your life, BarkBox is the monthly necessity for keeping your pup entertained and feeling well loved.

I think you guys will get a kick out of this: it is actually more personalized than more of my beauty boxes! Seriously. You get to choose your dog’s size (in a lot of beauty boxes they don’t even pay attention to skin color!) which is super handy. I went with Cobo’s size (he’s about 100 pounds) because Zeus thinks he’s a big dog anyway. Your choices are Small & Cute (0-20lbs), Just Right (20-50lbs), & Big & Bold (50lbs+) so it is pretty simple. There wasn’t a Lazy & Clumsy selection so I went with the Big & Bold option.

For one month of BarkBox you pay $29, for 3 months you pay $22 a month, & for 6 months you pay $17.50 a month. Shipping is always free! I LOVE that you actually get a substantial percentage off (40%!) for joining for 6 months. Sometimes you only save $1-$5 a month, but 40% is a nice chunk of change. Another item to note? You can cancel anytime. Plus, 10% goes to a rescue charity which is also awesome.

Let’s look at what the boys got shall we? Also, check out photo-bombing Zeus!

So first, let’s look at their cards. I love love LOVE the little drawings (noticed the barking dog sketch on the box I put up there? HA!) & I love that these aren’t all cluttered. Like many other boxes, one side gives you a little bio about the items you’ve received. Although it doesn’t include prices, it does include websites which I like.

Everything you need to know should be in my video or in the cards above! Enjoy!

Here’s my box all open! & the photos of all the contents up close, in case you were curious! Note the photo of Zeus below…I didn’t get one shot of that bone without his face nuzzled in it.

So there you have it! So far, they have played with the bottle mostly by rolling it around the floor…then feeling like I cheated them bu not having free treats in it. I’m a horrible mother clearly. I think BarkBox is so majorly cool. I am hoping that I answered most of your questions, but if not, just leave them below & I’ll do my best!

Have you gotten Birchbox before?…interested in picking up a BarkBox for your pooch? What do you think of the items I received? Okay, I didn’t receive anything, let’s be honest, this one’s for the dogs! 😉
