BarkBox is a reader-favorite monthly subscription box for dogs.
BarkBox customizes your box to your dog’s size. For reference, this review is for the medium size, which is recommended for dogs 20-50 lbs. We recently changed the size because Tucker, our Standard Poodle, is the most playful pup in the house when it comes to toys.
FYI: Two of my dogs are quite old! Piper (the minpin) has to eat soft food and has trouble with hard treats. Charlie is a pug, and a glutton who will eat LITERALLY anything. They both still really enjoy toys, though it has been years since either of them managed to destroy anything.
If you have a younger pup or just one who needs toys of the rough and tumble variety, I highly recommend trying the Super Chewer subscription (read our reviews to learn more!).
My Subscription Addiction pays for this subscription. (Check out the review process post to learn more about how we review boxes).

July 2020 BarkBox "Frenchies in Paris" Review
The details behind our items this month were printed inside, on the box lining.
The July box included 2 toys, 2 bags of treats, and a chew - this is close to what you can expect with your monthly subscription, though it does vary for everyone once in a while.
A lot of these items are marked as 'Sold Out' on the BarkBox app - but they have a little 'As Seen In BarkBox' section of the BarkShop where you can grab items featured in monthly themes.

Chicken Jerky Treats, 4 oz
This BarkBox arrived just in time to come down to Tennessee with myself and Tucker to visit my parents (Tucker and Piper went along for the ride. Charlie stayed home to keep Will company!). They have a little Boston Terrier, Lacee, who is treat crazy! Both she and Tucker absolutely adored these larger strips of 100% chicken!
Zero chill.

Beef Bites Treats, 1.5 oz
These little treats are made of 100% dried beef and the dogs really loved them! They are a lot smaller than the chicken jerky treats and are a great size for training rewards.
Lacee gives them 4 paws up.

Bonejour Baguette Toy
I knew this toy would be a hit because it has two parts! The baguette has stuffing and two disk squeakers and the bag itself is filled with crinkle and had a massive squeak at the bottom. You can pull the baguette out for your pup to enjoy or leave the set together to let them figure it out themselves. I am also giggling that the baguette is wearing a beret!!
Tucker is a carb enthusiast and all-around Good Boy.
He seemed to have loads of fun pulling the bread out of the bag.

Croak Monsieur Toy
Our second toy is a little frog with some beefy squeaky legs! He also has crinkle in his abdomen and another large disk squeaker in his head. His legs flop around when the pups are playing with him and it looks hilarious. The tag mentioned he has bungee arms, though mine didn't. This was a little confusing but the dogs certainly didn't care. This was the favorite toy this month for sure.
The frog's face was so funny.
Even Piper loved this one!
The pups enjoyed swapping and fetching both toys this month very much!

Chicken Stick Chew
As I mentioned above, Tucker and I are on a road trip! I like to stash sticks like this to keep him occupied in the car. He makes quick work of them, but they do add some happiness to an otherwise pretty boring drive.
Verdict: I am totally tickled by this French-themed BarkBox. The treats were yummy and healthy and the toys were so funny and filled with my pup's favorite elements: crinkle and squeak! I loved taking everything down on my road trip to share with my mom's pup too!
