This review is of the Large Dog Size, $24.99 a month, box. My dog Nyx, a Rottweiler, is about 87 pounds right now.

Pet Treater February 2018 Review
There’s not a traditional information card with this subscription so there’s not always a stated theme, but you will usually see some commonalities running throughout the box contents. This month, I honestly wasn’t sure, but then Nyx doesn’t care about themes:
You get some pictures of dogs so that’s always fun.
There are also usually some coupons and/or vouchers.
Dog Whisperer Dog Treats Beef Lung Bites (2 oz) – Retail Value $10.99 (found here for $2.99)
This is a single-ingredient treat with no preservatives. Unfortunately, Nyx can’t have beef due to her IBD, so we’ll pass these along to a dog in my extended family to enjoy.
All for Paws BBQ Grillers BBQ Rubber Crunch Bone (m) – Retail Value $15.75
This is a rubber bone with flavor infused. It also has something inside, like water bottle texture, that makes a crunch sound. This definitely has a strong odor. At any rate, Nyx really wasn’t interested in this toy and wouldn’t chew on it, which is unusual for her.
Water Bottle – Estimated Value $7
This is the “for your human” item for the month. There is absolutely no identifying information on it other than the initials “JM,” which I tried searching but with no luck (too generic). This had an insert indicating it was BPA free, which is nice.
Emmy’s Gourmet Canine Creations Cookie – Buy 6 for $6.50
Most months, you will get a cookie from Emmy’s in Pet Treater. They’re generally seasonal. You don’t always see the same ones on the Emmy’s site, but I did find these. (This may be a clearance price since I am writing this review after Valentine’s Day, but no other pricing was available.)
Animal Planet Plush Toy with Rope and Squeaker – Estimated Value $7.50
These Animal Planet toys (which you will get a lot of in Pet Treater) appear to be discontinued. I’m using the MSRP from a similar toy. This had a variety of textures, including some fuzzy hair, that Nyx really liked trying to pull off the toy.
Romeo/Juliet Kerchief – Estimated Value $3
This kerchief is made from some really flimsy material that wrinkles easily, as you can see. It fits Nyx (there are pictures below) but she really did not like wearing it and kept trying to get it off. In general, while I will snap a photo of Nyx in a kerchief, I tend not to put clothing on her. (I save that for the kitties.)
Wags and Wiggles Massaging Bath Mitt – Retail Value $6.99
This is sold out everywhere but eBay, though some of the sold out prices match the eBay price, so I’m just going to list it here. This is supposed to help remove loose fur during bath time, which is definitely useful. (Nyx gets a bath with medicated shampoo every two weeks to deal with a skin condition.) You can add shampoo to a reservoir in this item, too, although it’s way too small for the amount of shampoo we have to use on a dog Nyx’s size.
Polka Dog Treats Wonder Nuggets (4 oz) – Buy 8 oz for $7.95
These are vegan, so they are suitable for dogs with protein allergies. They do contain barley flour and rolled oats, though, so they won’t work for grain sensitive dogs. These are soft and a good size for training. Polka Dog Bakery is a small business in South Boston and a new brand for me.
Nyx spent all her time with the bone toy trying to chew on the kerchief. She liked the other toy much better.
Verdict: There were 8 items in the February 2018 Pet Treater box. I had to estimate the values for about half of them, as a lot were closeouts, sold out, not available in the provided sizes, etc. Although I can make educated guesses about the values, I don’t know how useful it is to provide a total. This subscription costs $24.99 on a month-to-month basis, so you are paying about $3.12 per item this month, which seems like a pretty good deal, even if one or two things don’t end up working for you. Large dog toys typically cost quite a bit more than $3.12 each, as do full bags of treats.
To Wrap Up:
Can you still get this box if you sign up today? No, your subscription would start with the March box.

Value Breakdown: At $24.99 for the box, you are paying about $3.12 per item.
