Here's how to get your first BarkBox for just $5
TL;DR: You'll pay just $5 for your dog's first BarkBox shipment (a $40+ value) when you sign up for a multi-month subscription.
Ask anyone who owns a pooch and they'll tell you the same thing: Very Good Boys and Girls deserve to be celebrated all year 'round, not just on National Dog Day (Aug. 26).
Designed to make your pup as happy as they make you 24/7/365, BarkBox is a popular delivery service featuring unique dog products that are sent to subscribers' doorsteps every month. Each shipment contains a curated selection of toys and snacks valued at more than $40 — and now through Friday, Aug. 30, you can get your first one for just $5 when you sign up for a multi-month subscription.
You read that right, by the way: These things are curated; BarkBox doesn't send you just any random grab bag of products. Once you make your dog a BarkBox profile, the company will choose specific items for him or her based on their size, dietary restrictions, and breed — that way, they're sure to love their new goodies.
BarkBox deliveries typically contain two toys, two bags of all-natural, wheat-free treats, and one chew that all correspond to a monthly theme — plus, you can add an additional premium toy for $9 more a month. Past BarkBox themes have included "Knights of the Hound Table," a medieval times-inspired collection featuring a dragon squeaky toy and Banquet Feast treats, and "Chrewrassic Bark," which came with a "T-Rex Bone" chew and a Triceratops tug-of-war toy. They're all really well done, TBH — but if for some reason your dog isn't a fan of a box's contents, BarkBox promises to "work with you to make it right" as part of its 'Ruv it or Leave it satisfaction guarantee.
Head over to BarkBox's website to sign up for a six- or 12-month subscription and get your first delivery for just $5 — a limited-time promotion that'll save you as much as $20.
