Our Barkbox Review: Our Dog Bert Takes On 4 Months Of Barkbox Medium
What does it mean to be good dog owner?
Everyone can buy a dog, but not everyone takes good care of their dog.
Most modern dogs get way too little exercise and play time. According to the ASPCA, the average owner spends only 1 hour of playtime with their dog, every day. The rest of the time, dogs are sitting at home, getting bored and frustrated.
Or they just get lethargic and don’t care about anything anymore.
Toys are the best way to keep a dog from this terrible fate. A good toy leads to physical exercise, mental challenges, and satisfaction.
But toys are not cheap. And our dogs can be picky and destructive. In short, we need an almost endless supply of toys. And we need them to be fun and interesting for our dogs. Meet the awesomeness of dog subscription boxes:
What Is Barkbox?This monthly subscription box full of toys and treats is specially crafted to keep a dog interested. A team of specialist packs 2 durable toys and 2 types of dog treats in monthly boxes. And then they send the box over to your house.
You use the time you would spend on getting new toys to actually play with your dog. And you save money because the box worth is always greater than the cost. (Psssst: you can save even more with our special box coupons elsewhere in this article)

Frequently Asked Questions
Here are common questions potential subscribers ask about this company.
How Can I Cancel My Subscription?
To cancel an existing subscription, you’ll need to log into your account. Then click on “Subscriptions” at the top of the page. Select “CANCEL NEXT PLAN.” Note that renewals start on the 3rd of each month, so you’ll want to cancel before that time.
Keep in mind that if you cancel in the middle of a 6 or 12-month plan, you’ll still receive the remaining boxes in the subscription. To cancel mid-subscription, you’ll need to call the company directly.
How Can I Contact Customer Service?
You can contact their customer service via email at happy@barkbox.com.
When Does It Ship?
For first orders, boxes ship immediately. For subsequent boxes, orders ship on the 15th of each month. Shipping is free to the US and Canada, and the company does not charge an additional shipping fee.
Are There Boxes For Dogs With Allergies?
According to the company, every subscription box is already wheat-, corn-, and soy-free to cover the most common pet allergies. However, if your pet has allergies to beef, chicken, and turkey- a far less common issue- there’s also an allergy-friendly box. You’ll need to contact the company directly for this option, however, as it’s not an option via online signup.
What If My Dog Doesn’t Like An Item?
The company will replace items if you or your dog have a complaint. Whether it’s a flavor they don’t enjoy or a toy they rip apart, the company maintains a replacement policy free of charge. Just contact them for help on getting a new toy for your pup, as per BarkBox reviews online.
