BarkBox is a monthly subscription box for dogs. It’s one of our favorite subscription boxes – our dog loves it, and we’ve gifted it to dogs in our extended family as well!
BarkBox customizes your box to your dog’s size. For reference, this review is for the small size (our dog weighs 14 pounds). Check out Ragan's March review of the super chewer box!

Every BarkBox has a theme - this month is 'Bento & Blossoms'!
Each month includes a card that highlights an item or two from the box.
Buckles was very interested in reviewing the treats - so let's start there!
Mr. Porkle Pork Teriyaki Treat - Value $6
The first or two bags of treats are pork flavored trainers!
Practice your hibachi toss (sans onion volcano) with these tiny training treats. Made especially for Bark & Co from the folks at Mountain Country Foods in Okeene, Ohio, these soft and chewy morsels are grain-free and baked with a sweet and savory flavor that your dog will love. Your pup will be seriously impressed with you and your taste in treats, so there's no need to catapult a shrimp into your hat.
These were made specifically for BarkBox - so I wouldn't be surprised to start seeing more of their own treats in future boxes.
Buckles would be OK with that - these are his easy favorites of the month. They're perfectly bite-sized for small treat time. Plus, the name is just too fun.
Hello Ducky! Duck Flavored Dog Treats - Value $8
The next treat was also made for BarkBox - and also in the USA. Hallo Ducky! treats are duck flavor treats - almost like a little cookie.
Your pup will give these duck treats a standing ovation. We made 'em ourselves to ensure that everything in these morsels was farmed and produced in the USA-- starting with the duck. The duck was cooked on open grilling racks to reduce the fat content and add a naturally smoky flavor to make your dog drool. Made with potato flour, these treats are corn, soy, grain, and gluten free. Our addition of aromatic rosemary oil ensures that they are definitely NOT flavor free.
Our dog tends to have ear issues if he has too much gluten in his food, so both treats being gluten-free was a major win for us - and for Buckles!
The cookies were crunchy, but not so hard that it was a deterrent for our dog that passed up any hard treats.
Get That Geta Toy - Value $10
The first of two soft toys was this geta sandal toy!
Our geta shoe toy is for pooches ready to put uncomfortable footwear in its place! Ready for a history lesson? It's inspired by the traditional getas of feudal Japan, which designed to elevate the foot in an effort avoid ruining kimonos in puddles. They were probably designed for folks who didn't need arch support (just our uneducated guess). We've improved upon this classic by filling it with crinkle and a squeaker, creating multiple sources of sound to keep your dog engaged. The tough ballistic nylon strap is perfect for pups who love to tug or chew. Easy to grip and fun to squeak, it's it ideal for a game of fetch. We're going to be honest: they're also great for pretending that your hands are tiny feet.
Look at that determination! In the end, he opted to prefer the next toy...
Sydney's Salmon Nigiri Toy - Value $8
The second, and last toy, is a little soft sushi roll - we love this one!
Nothin' but raw fun here. This palm-sized toy is ideal for a game of fetch with your favorite fine diner. The picture-perfect piece of sushi houses a high-pitched squeaker to enhance the experience of play. It's a delicate noise for the delicate simplicity of Nigiri. Mmm, chewmami flavor.
How cute is this picture?! This little bite-size sushi roll is a new favorite for Buckles - he loves to find it and run through the house when the mood strikes.
Etta Says Buffalo Chew - Value $3
The final item in the box is almost always a rawhide or single chew. This month featured a buffalo chew from Etta Says, which was 100% American made and sourced.
Verdict: BarkBox is still one of those boxes that we can't wait to get each month! Our value came to around $35 this month - which feels like the typical median value for a BarkBox. Even when our dog doesn't like a treat or toy, it's been easy for us to pass it along to many eager dogs!
In the end - Buckles loves these boxes and that's why we love them!
