Barkbox earns largely positive reviews for delightful themed unboxings, durable toys (especially Super Chewer for many) and responsive, accommodating customer service, so yes—the brand generally works and is good for keeping dogs engaged. Reviews also flag weaknesses: treats can be repetitive or upset sensitive stomachs, some toys fail fast for extreme chewers or pose tearable parts, customization/themes can feel rigid or duplicative, and auto‑renewal and shipping issues frustrate some users.

Convenient service! My dog enjoyed the assortment of toys and treats. It was nice to stock up but a monthly subscription was too frequent for me.
I have both sent a bark box as a gift and been there while friends' pets receive their boxes. Your dogs know that it is their box, and will know when it is delivered. It was always a day that we looked forward to just because it made our dogs so happy. We always made sure to take a picture after with everything in the box to show off all of the themes.
They have the best toys. Always so creative and funny! And anytime I’ve had to reach out to customer service it’s been amazing!

Great quality toys and treats. You definitely pay a premium for the delivery service and you could shop around for cheaper toys and less expensive treats but it’s really fun to get each month. The dogs even recognize the box
Fun toys and dog enjoys the treats but very expensive
Our golden retriever goes nuts for these monthly boxes! He literally knows it's for him when he sees the box at the door. Pro-tip: the super chewer box is amazing for dogs that rip things up (aka my dog).
Was gifted my first month of barkbox by a friend after adopting my puppy and I turned around and subscribed myself. The toys are all different and stood up well to my heavy chewer dog. He enjoyed the treats (a lot) and I always got a laugh out of the themes. After a few months the amount of toys was pretty significant so I would recommend doing every other month if possible.

I had a one year subscription and by the fourth month I wanted to cancel. My puppy only liked one of their treats and the toys are exactly the same every month and they just keep accumulating. I had to donate almost all the toys to a shelter because I did not know what to do with them.
We have been receiving bark box for the better part of a year now, and have been surprised by the quality and sturdiness of the product. Our dogs enjoy the toys as well as the chews and treats. We have fun opening the box every month to see how cute and paw-some the theme is! Customer support is also fantastic and very quick to reply and remedy issues.

Got to many junkie thing, or things would never use. Like the concept however.
I love Barkbox. I’ve had a monthly subscription for almost 7 years now and still find joy in opening up the box with my pup each month. The workers at Barkbox also really seem to care about you and your animal, and I’ve seen them make incredibly kind gestures to those who have lost their pup.
Their dog beds are great but the holiday themed toy box felt like it had hazards in it. — the clown had crinkly bow tie that my dog easily ripped off and tried to choke on

Make tougher toys pls
Bark box is great for puppies, and all the treats make it really worth the price. I wish they offered bones or antlers since my dog destroys toys so quickly, and sometimes the themes were overtly advertisements, which was less cute. Great option though overall.
The best way to spoil your pup! The toys are so cute and durable. My pup gets so excited every delivery!
Barkbox is the best - I had an annual subscription with the brand and received a new box full of toys and treats for my dog every month. I love that each month has a theme and the toys are so cute and innovative. I'm giving them 4 stars because I have accidentally been sent the same box on multiple occasions. While the customer support team upgraded my next box, it took the excitement out of receiving a new theme.
Bark box has the cutest and most creative dog toys. I have bought so many of these products for my dog and he has always enjoyed them and are pretty durable for a dog that is a super chewer.
I loved getting Barkbox. The toys are adorable and they last awhile, I had to cancel for a little because my dogs don’t destroy toys so they have so many now. It’s a good bargain too. I even changed my address the last 2 months to my sisters so her dogs would get a few boxes because I didn’t need all 6.
Signed up our dog for a yearly subscription. They offered fun options, but we got the same types of items each time and the same treats. I wrote to them a couple of different times to ask to have different options for him, but they only included one type of toy each month even though there were a couple that would have worked with his aggressive chewing. He ended up bored with the same treats each month too. We let the subscription lapse when it was time to renew. The toys and treats were quality items, but they ended up not being for us.

It would have been nice to see what options were available each month and choose which items to include in his package. It was always disappointing to see something that he may have liked better on the advertising in the packaging.
Barkbox is a superior subscription for those who love to spoil their pups. I have subscribed on and off for many years and every item we have received has been quality and some of the toys we have repurchased because our dogs loved them so much (the dumpling box was a favorite!) The treats are also amazing quality and great ingredients which is super important to me.Highly recommend for anyone looking to treat their dogs!

Love love love the themed boxes! Keep em coming!
We have been receiving a barkbox subscription for almost two years. We have a tiny pomeranian and it's often hard to find toys that are good for his size. That's why I love barkbox, the toys sizes include XS/S. size and preferences. The toys are always well-made and designed to withstand our dog's tendency to chew. we always love the 420 box, it's one of our favorites! My pup has like all the treats as well. He always gets so excited when we open the box and knows he's going to get new toys and treats.
