How Does BarkBox Work?
BarkBox lets you choose from one of three different dog sizes, including:
-Small & Cute: 0 to 20 Pounds
-Just Right: 20 to 50 Pounds
-Big & Bold: 50+ Pounds
Pricing is the same across all dog sizes. You pay between $29 per month and $20 per month, depending on whether you’re going month-to-month or paying annually. All prices include shipping.
You can also upgrade your BarkBox for an extra $9 per month, in which case you’ll receive an extra, premium toy.
Once your box arrives, you’ll find a variety of all-natural treats, chew toys, and other goodies. Each box is hand-packed by pet care experts based on your dog’s unique size.
There are toys, healthy treats, and “innovative gadgets” for your dog to enjoy.
Each box comes with 4 to 5 items. All items are thoroughly tested and hand-selected by “Scout, head product test for BarkBox”, explains the official website. You get different items every month. And yes, Scout is a real dog.
The official BarkBox website actually has a “PuppyFeed” section where you can view the items some of the latest BarkBox customers received with their monthly delivery. You can check out that feed here: http://puppyfeed.thebarkpost.com/buzz
You can’t specifically choose which items come in your BarkBox every month, but you can customize your box based on any allergies your pet might have.
All items in BarkBox are wheat-free, corn-free, and soy-free, so you don’t need to worry about these allergies or irritants. You can also customize your box for dogs who are allergic to beef, chicken, and turkey, in which case your BarkBox will not contain any of those ingredients.
Customizing your BarkBox is as easy as emailing [email protected].
BarkBox Pricing
BarkBox is priced at the same rates regardless of the size of your dog. However, you can reduce the price by paying for 6 months or 12 months at a time. Here’s how pricing breaks down:
-Month to Month: $29 Per Month
-6 Months: $24 Per Month
-12 Months: $20 Per Month
All prices include shipping. BarkBox also has a promotional offer underway where you get a free month when signing up for a 6 month or 12 month plan. Additional sales tax will be applied to AZ, CT, NV, NY, and OH customers. Additionally, you’ll pay $5 per BarkBox more for shipping outside the continental United States.
You can also purchase BarkBox as a gift for someone, although pricing is a little higher. Gift plans also do not automatically renew at the end of your subscription period – while the normal subscription plans do.
Gift BarkBox subscriptions range from $35 (1 month) to $249 (12 months).

BarkBox is known for its friendly customer service and is happy to replace any items in your BarkBox that you didn’t like. You can also customize your orders based on allergens or unwanted food items – like chicken, beef, or pork products.
Most reviews for BarkBox online indicate that customers are happy with the quality of the products in their box.
Customers are happy with the customer service and the products within each box. Virtually all of the complaints we’ve found online revolve around the price: you’re paying $30 per month for a handful of dog treats and toys you can purchase from retail stores at a similar price. So if you’re on a tight budget, this might not be the dog treat subscription service for you.
Otherwise, BarkBox is a great way for loving dog owners to treat their pets.
