Bark Box Review

I received my first box from Bark Box yesterday! Peaches the black Pug was so, so, so excited at it's arrival. 


I had to wait about two months from the time of my first order.  I decided to not participate in the ongoing monthly subscriptions, but pay the the higher price of $26 per month so that I am able to cancel at anytime. 


See the wagging tail... 


The items inside will be varied from box to box, but for Peaches I selected the box for medium sized pooches. 


She LOVED these, instant crate incentives (just like Pavlov's dogs, Peaches is conditioned to run inside crate when I shake the dollar store great jar!):


This hedgehog has been the most popular item: 


This on the other hand was gone in three minutes: 


So our box contained all in all:

1) Bag of "Turducken" treats, retailed at $6.
2) Hedgehog Chef, retailed at $8.
3) Faux drum stick (you can fill with treats), retailed at $6.
4) Rawhide, retailed at $3.
5) Beef Sternum and Liver bone (GROSS!), retailed value at $3.  

Basically, the included card states I broke even.  I am not sure I will continue this box more than the next two months before I leave for San Diego when Curtis returns home, but it's fun in the meantime while I am working A TON and have the extra $$$ to spoil my Peaches. 

All-in-all I recommend this subscription box (so far, so good) for those who want to try new and interesting items for their puppies!  In my small town of Fredericksburg, there is not a pet supply store.  Sure, we have one high end dog boutique on our Main Street and several feed stores, but nothing like a "Petsmart" or and "Petco". This is a great substitute:)! 

Thanks for reading,
