pet-treater-october-2016-letter

This box included a letter addressed to Nyx!

pet-treater-october-2016-booklet

There was also a card with a photo of a dog with last month’s box items.

pet-treater-october-2016-hello-fresh

And ANOTHER gift code for Hello Fresh. There must be a warehouse full of these somewhere…

pet-treater-october-2016-meme

This meme was on the inside of the box. It is actually appropriate considering the contents. (Sorry about the glare.)

pet-treater-october-2016-beer-card

This product literature was in the box, too

pet-treater-october-2016-beef

Nature’s Deli Beef Knuckle – Value $5?

I can’t find this exact item online (too many search results about a recall from 2013). So I am just using an average value from other similar items that turned up in a search. This is definitely size-appropriate for a large-breed dog, which is appreciated. (Always supervise your dog during bone chew time, though!)

Indigo Smokehouse Strips, Bacon (1 oz) – Value $0.95

Indigo Smokehouse Strips, Chicken (1 oz) – Value $0.67

These both appear to be discontinued. That is not so unusual for Pet Treater. I do encourage you to check expiration dates on dog treats carefully before feeding. That being said, these are from USA-grown meats and contain no byproducts, corn, wheat, soy, or artificial flavors.

pet-treater-october-2016-sneaky

Sneaky (aka The Official Beef Tester) isn’t too sure what to think of this. Probably because it is as big as her head. It was also super heavy.

pet-treater-october-2016-beer

Bowser Beer in Porky Pug Porter (12 fl oz) – Value $4

First, there was wine for cats and now there is beer for dogs. (Don’t give your dog actual beer; hops can be poisonous to dogs.) This is basically pork-flavored water with some vitamins and glucosamine. Unfortunately, due to Nyx’s IBD, this is a no-go, but I will find someone else with a dog to pass it on to.

“Drinking Buddy” Bandana – Value $5?

Who knew there were so many “drinking buddy” bandanas for dogs? I couldn’t find this exact one so I estimated the price based on similar items. My husband and I don’t drink but it was kind of funny to see Nyx wearing it, nonetheless.

pet-treater-october-2016-nyx-bandana

She has no idea what is going on here. But hey, it fit a Rottweiler neck, so that is something.

pet-treater-october-2016-organizer

Petstor Over-the-Door Pet Organizer (10.5” x 32.75”) – Value $18.03

The construction of our home is such that we have almost no doors on the first floor except a bathroom, the pantry, and doors going outside. However, this would be useful in other architectural circumstances. I am probably going to repurpose it for shoes!

pet-treater-october-2016-pumpkin

Pumpkin Cupcake Mold + Spatula – Value $6?

I found some similar items elsewhere but not this exact set, so the price is an estimate. This also might be fun for making Halloween-themed novelty bar soaps.

pet-treater-october-2016-toys

Bow-Wow Pet Breast Cancer Awareness Bone – Value $7?

It is iffy whether I can find Bow-Wow Pet toys online. I wasn’t able to locate this one so the price is an estimate based on similarly-sized plush toys I found online. This was not particularly durable, but then, there are some dogs who can be trusted with plush toys (my last Rottie was one of them).

Bow-Wow Pet Monsters Dog Toy – Value $5.99

This was more durable than I thought it would be. (They are a little hard to find in stock online.) I like all six of the products in the product line but I am kind of strange that way. (Like, I was SO EXCITED when my husband gave me my birthday gift in this bag.) Of course, Nyx loved it.

Here are some shots of Nyx enjoying the monster toy.

pet-treater-october-2016-toy-after

Alas, the poor monster toy has met its end…

Verdict: I calculated a value of around $52.64 for the October Pet Treater dog subscription box. That value is pretty good. Nyx loved the toys and some of the human-oriented items were useful. I’m a little concerned that the treats were so hard to find online and/or seem to be discontinued. The dog beer was an interesting discovery. All-in-all, I would say the contents of this box are pretty representative of a typical month with Pet Treater.

What do you think of the October 2016 Pet Treater box? Do you subscribe to any dog or cat boxes?

I love all your pet reviews, but especially anything with Nyx photos. Her face is so adorable!

Thanks for another great review Ragan! I received a slight variation – our toy was not a monster but was a vampire (a large dog appropriately sized no stuffing toy). It was cute for Halloween & my dog loves it ?
