BarkBox

If you want an affordable dog subscription box, consider BarkBox. One of the most popular membership boxes out there, BarkBox is all about themes. You and your pup are sure to be delighted by each month's delivery.

From Scooby-Doo to Cinco de Mayo, the boxes come filled with two toys, two treats, and a chew curated to fit the theme. When you sign up, you will answer a few questions about your pup (weight, age, and allergies).

Three subscriptions are available: monthly ($35), six months ($30 per month), and 12 months (about $27 per month). Shipping is free within the contiguous United States, and BarkBox even has an online shop selling more toys and surprises.

If your pup likes to chew, you might want to opt for the Super Chewer box filled with impossible-to-destroy toys. You can cancel at any time on a month-to-month plan, but the other plans cannot be canceled.

If you are unhappy for any reason, BarkBox offers a 100% money-back guarantee, which takes the stress out of treating your dog.

PoochPerks

If you're on a budget, Pooch Perks' treats-only monthly subscription box starts at around $20 per month. You can also get boxes that provide your dog with both premium-made toys and treats.

Based on box selection, your package may contain five or six surprises for your pet, and you can customize the toys based on their preferences. You can also expect your Pooch Perks box to be tailored to your dog’s breed and size.

Choose from three plans: Popular Pooch (starting at around $34 per month for small dogs), Pampered Pooch (starting at about $50 per month), Toys Only (starting at $26 per month), or Treats Only (approximately $20 per month).

This brand is a great choice for anyone looking for value. Each month you will receive a box of well-made toys and treats for less than you would spend in a store.

While surprises can be fun, sometimes you just want to know what you’re getting. The BoxDog subscription box is a monthly service that comes with two treats, one skincare item, and two to three toys, clothing, or accessories you pick.

Choose from items such as a dog jacket, a squeaky toy, or a premium leash, depending on what your dog needs. You can choose four items for around $35 a month (for a prepaid 6-month subscription), and you can skip a box or cancel anytime.

Your first BoxDog box typically ships within a couple of business days, and then every three months for the seasonal plans. This box consists of three handmade treats, one skincare/gear item, and two to three toys or accessories. BoxDog is a great choice for any pet parent who wants a less-frequent subscription box and likes curating items for their pup.

If your dog is on a special diet, a box filled with surprise treats is probably not a great idea. Instead, consider a monthly subscription like the Pet Treater box, which offers a toy-only bundle or a treat-only package.

For around $15 a month, you will receive a mix of three to four toys and treats curated just for your pup. Items like stuffed animals, chew toys, and rope pulls will make sure your furry friend will never be bored again. If you want just treats or just toys, they offer boxes that include three to four snacks or toys for about $18 a month.

Want more for your little buddy? There's an option for a Deluxe Dog Pack bundle that features a mix of five to eight handpicked treats and toys for approximately $25 a month. Choose from a monthly subscription, or pay for multiple months in advance to save even more.

If you’re unsatisfied for any reason, Pet Treater promises to make it right. You can cancel at any time, and customer service representatives are always available via live chat, email, or phone. You can even tell the customer support team to avoid certain types of toys (e.g. if your pup is an active chewer) and they will make sure your box is ideal for your needs.

Bullymake in bold orange font on white background — Bullymake

Anyone with an intense chewer knows the pain of seeing a brand new dog toy in shreds after only a few minutes.

The Bullymake subscription box was created with aggressive chewers in mind and is full of toys and chews that your dog won’t destroy. But if a chewing debacle happens, the company offers to send a replacement as long as you provide a photo of the sacrificed toy.

Every box comes with two to three chew toys and three healthy treats. Choose from four options: a monthly box (around $45), a three-month plan (about $36 per month), a six-month bundle (approximately $34 per month), or a 12-month package (about $31 per month).

While Bullymake boxes cost more than some other choices on our list, the price is worth it for toys that last. The company will even provide toys that suit your pet’s preference, whether they're a chewer, tugger, or fetcher.

Dapper Dog Box in black font on white background featuring illustration of dog wearing bandana — Dapper Dog Box

Dapper Dog Box is the subscription box for anyone whose pup is always the best dressed on the block. This monthly subscription includes a trendy bandana with every installment, as well as two treats and two toys for your pooch.

Each bandana is curated around a monthly theme (think summer vacation or holidays) and costs about $35 per month. Your box is customized based on your dog’s weight and size, so you can be sure that the bandana fits your pooch.

We give bonus points to the Dapper Dog Box for how easy it is to cancel or skip a month without speaking to customer service (just do it on your profile). They also prioritize small businesses when picking their products, so you can feel good that you are supporting a mom-and-pop shop with every month’s purchase.

The Farmer’s Dog in white text again red circle background — The Farmer’s Dog

Feeding your pup the right dog food is important for overall wellness, and that's why we love The Farmer’s Dog box.

This subscription offers fresh dog food packed with essential vitamins and nutrients. Plans start at around $2 a day, and you can choose between flexible shipping options that work for you.

When you sign up, you will answer a questionnaire about your pup’s overall health and dietary restrictions, and The Farmer’s Dog will come up with the right mix of food for your dog. All ingredients are human-grade and never processed, nor do they contain artificial ingredients or fillers.

If for any reason you are unhappy or your dog doesn't like the food, The Farmer’s Dog will refund your money or send you a replacement meal with a new recipe. Every shipment arrives cold and should be frozen until you're ready to feed your dog.

Bark Bright in navy font on white background with outline of tooth paste gel — Bark Bright

Dental hygiene is incredibly important for dogs, which is why we love Bark Bright box. This monthly subscription is made by the same company that offers BarkBox, but this service is focused specifically on dog dental hygiene.

Each monthly box comes with a 30-day supply of dental sticks (for just $1 a day), along with a month-long supply of triple enzyme dental gel, which makes it easy to keep your dog’s teeth bacteria-free. The best part of Bark Bright’s dental system is that there is no scrubbing involved—simply squeeze the enzyme gel onto the dental stick, and as your dog chews, the stick will clean their teeth and break down plaque.

While Bark Bright may not be the most exciting subscription box on our list (at least from your pup’s point of view), we love that it encourages dog owners to focus on their pet’s dental hygiene. Without forcing your dog to let you scrub his teeth, you can help keep your pet’s mouth free of decay and bacteria.

Rescue Box in blue and green font on white background — Rescue Box

The RescueBox is a subscription that gives back with every purchase. Starting at approximately $30, this monthly box is filled with curated toys, treats, and dog accessories.

With every box, the company donates 142 bowls of food to shelter pets in need, so you can feel good about spoiling your pooch. The longer you subscribe, the cheaper the monthly cost. And, you can cancel any time with a month-to-month subscription.

You cannot customize your box but you can add your pet’s weight, so RescueBox will provide only size-appropriate toys. Even if your dog does not love one of the toys (which we doubt is possible), you will still feel great about giving back and helping a shelter dog in need.

While the company doesn't offer full or partial refunds, you can send them an email with a photo if your package is damaged and they will try to resolve the problem. You can also cancel your subscription at any time.

A dog subscription box’s cost will vary depending on the types of products you want for your pup, but the average price for most subscription boxes is around $30 per month, while the most expensive boxes can reach as high as $50 per month. The price depends on the type of surprise you want for your pup (treats or toys, for example) and how often you want a box delivered.

A dog subscription box is often cost-effective if you tend to get your dog treats and toys regularly. Many companies charge less than pet store prices.

Dog subscription boxes come in all sizes to suit different pups’ tastes. Most shipments include a variety of products such as toys, treats, and chews. Many companies, such as BarkBox, allow you to customize what you want to receive every month, so you can opt for more toys or more treats if that’s what you and your pup prefer. Heavy chewers, dogs with allergies, or pups that ignore toys can all benefit from a dog subscription box.

While some dog subscription boxes only provide chews and treats, most come with a toy or two every month. If you are mostly interested in toys, you can opt for a box specializing in dog toys such as Pet Treater Dog Box or Bullymake. These options are great for dogs that go through toys quickly, requiring frequent replacements.
