Reviews mention

  • Inventive themed toy designs
  • Durable super chewer options
  • Responsive, helpful customer service
  • Thoughtful size customization options
  • Inconsistent toy durability for power chewers
  • Repetitive, sometimes upsetting treats
  • Rigid, duplicative theme customization
  • Nylon chews create sharp edges

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.

  • I adore the concept and the excitement of the delivery. But be careful because you will be drowning in toys and treats lol

  • Love this product for our dog! She gets so excited whenever the box arrives for her

  • I purchased a subscription to bark box on a whim, looking for some toys for my new dog, and finding a lot of cute options on their website. My dogs love it and I do too! The toys each month are always so fun and unboxing the fun new treats has become something for my pups to look forward to each month.

  • My husband and I signed up for Barkbox when we got our first dog. And boy was it amazing! You get lots of toys and treats in one box. It's a great deal. Eventually we had to cancel our subscription because we had too many toys and bags of treats! The boxes are each themed and they are so much fun!

  • My dog loved this box! High quality treats and the option to exclude common allergens. The toys are great quality and the add ons are fun! Only reason we canceled was the price.

  • My 2 corgis love their barkboxes! They used to get tired easily of their toys and this brings the excitement back in their lives. They are also quite aggressive chewers and the barkbox toys last way longer than any other toy we've bought at a local pet store!

  • This was such a fun subscription box for my doggos. My fur babies loved the curated treats and toys each time and it was a great way to find out about new brands and products too!

  • Our pups are obsessed with Barkbox. We get packages daily but they know when Barkbox arrives!

  • Barkbox is amazing!! I have gotten Barkbox for my corgi for over a year now! I get the regular box in the medium size. My dog always gets so excited for his box every month. The toys sometimes don’t hold up super well, but their customer service is always so helpful at replacing toys/sending new options.

  • I enjoyed my barkbox subscription when I had it. However, the subscription can be a bit pricey which is why I cancelled. It was a great way to stock up on treats and fun toys for my new puppy!

  • The absolute best thing I've gotten for my dogs (& myself). The quality of the toys is always great and the theme is always so much fun. My dogs aren't the biggest fans of the treats, so I do wish you could opt out and get another toy instead. Overall one of my favorite brands!

  • I don’t even have a dog but I love BarkBox. It’s a great gift for my sister’s rough dogs. They tear up every toy we give them but the BarkBox super chewers can stand up to them. She’s also told me that the replacement process is super easy and really nice. We started with a subscription but now I grab them in store a lot. Love the cute themes, too!

  • More fun for myself than my dog. Love unboxing and replenishing his toys. I buy the holiday themed boxes and gift them to my family for their pets and everyone loves them!

  • Although a little pricey, the overall experience with Barkbox is great! I love seeing what new and exciting things my pets will get each month. With easy subscription management and an easy to use website, I love recommending Barkbox to all of my pet-loving friends!

  • Fun little surprise for your pup every month. I love that it cut down on me needing to go out and get new dog treats and toys. One less thing for me to do, and a happy pup!

  • We recently received our first Bark Box, and it has been an absolute delight for both us and our furry friend! From the moment we opened the package, it was clear that Bark Box pays attention to every detail, creating an experience that is as enjoyable for the pet parents as it is for their beloved pups. The toys included are a perfect mix of fun and durability. Our pup was immediately drawn to them, and they have become instant favorites in our household. Whether it's a plush toy for cuddling, a squeaky toy for playtime, or a durable chew toy for those enthusiastic chewers, Bark Box seems to have a toy for every type of pup. The variety keeps our furry friend engaged and entertained, preventing boredom and promoting active play. The assortment of treats in our Bark Box has been nothing short of impressive. Each snack is thoughtfully curated, taking into consideration both taste and nutritional value. Our pup's tail starts wagging with anticipation as soon as we reach for a treat from the box. It's a joy to see how much they enjoy the flavors and textures of the snacks, and we appreciate that Bark Box prioritizes high-quality ingredients to keep our furry friend healthy and happy.

  • I did the 6 month subscription when I got my Shihpoo puppy, & she loved every time she saw the box arrive she would know it was for her & was excited! Excellent treats with good ingredients! Some of the toys weren’t great & didn’t last too long.
