july bark box

several months ago i learned of a subscription box for dogs called "bark box".  it's essentially a birch box for dogs.  it seemed pretty interesting, but i wasn't completely sure i wanted to sign up for one...so i kept an eye on the products in each month's boxes, and i really liked them!  so i signed ollie up for a 6 month subscription and he got his first box this month!!!

the july box included a rubber/squeaky chew toy in the shape of a steak (from petprojeckt.com)...which was wrapped on one of those Styrofoam black trays and packaged pretty much like a real steak.  ollie had to rip that open immediately, so that's why i was unable to get a picture of the cute packaging. he was very intrigued with the squeaking in the beginning, but soon lost interest. he's not the biggest fans of rubber toys. he prefers plush stuffed animal type toys.

There was also incredibubbles (petqwerks.com) (purple tube to the left of steak) which are long lasting bubbles w/a peach flavor, that other dogs have been going crazy over, apparently, but ollie was too fixated on the spinz chew treat (precisionpet.com). The Spinz treat was definitely the clear favorite of the box...which is an interactive edible chew toy that is supposedly supposed to last you "hours"...ollie ate half in a matter of minutes (i took the other half away, to give him the next day)...i'll probably look to buy more of these again!

Also included was a roll of poopy bags (metropaws.com) which is always welcomed and needed!  and a bag of treats called yumzies (nootie.com), which ollie also seems to like...just not as much as that spinz chew treat.  and lastly, there was a coupon for $10 off a pet food delivery site, pet flow (petflow.com).




i was pretty impressed with the box! i love that we have new things to try, and are introduced to new products.  can't wait for next month's box!
