PawPack is a monthly subscription box for dogs or cats. PawPack customizes your box to your dog’s size – my dog, Nyx, weighs 82 pounds (she has lost a lot of weight due to an illness). This is a review of the “large” dog box. PawPack focuses on eco-friendly, organic, and natural items for your pet.
PawPack sent us this box for review purposes. (Check out the review process post to learn more about how we review boxes.)

The card this month talked about this month’s charity effort, Pets of the Homeless, which helps to feed companion animals belonging to homeless individuals. The other side of the card listed the items.
GoGo “Candy Cane” Bully Stick – Value $6.29
Nyx can handle a little bit of beef at a time, so I am tempted to let her have this. I’m just not sure if I could get it away from her again!
Fluff & Tuff “Louis” the Cardinal – Value $14.95
Plush toys are always a hit. I liked that this was mostly ball shaped, without a lot of bits sticking out – it took Nyx a bit longer to destroy it than usual…
I love the look on her face.
Good Dog 3 Cookie Cutter Set – Value $5.99
I’ve linked to a similar item because the brand name (“Good Dog”) is so generic, it is impossible to search for these online. These came with a sample recipe (grain free!) that might work for Nyx (minus the cinnamon). We’ll see!
Isle of Dogs Nourish Treats (2 oz) – Value $9.99
These are made in the USA from duck, apples, and green beans – that’s it! Unfortunately, Nyx can’t have duck any longer so I will pass these on to a dog in my extended family. But I really love the idea, and most dogs with allergies should be able to handle these.
Wellness TruFood CocoChia Bakes (5 oz) – Value $5.09
I’ve seen a lot of superfood snack items for humans before, but these are the first I’ve seen for dogs. Wellness is a brand I trust to use good quality ingredients – Nyx has eaten their food in the past, and my cat Sneaky does currently.
Verdict: I calculated a value of slightly over $42 for the December 2015 PawPack. That is a good value for this subscription and more than the cost of the box on a month-to-month basis. I thought the items were well-curated for winter and the holidays, and several of the treats should be good for dogs with allergies, which is nice. This is one of the more expensive dog boxes, but you tend to get more premium items with it. Depending on what you’re looking for in a dog box, the extra cost might be worth it.
What do you think of the December 2015 PawPack box? Do you subscribe to any dog or cat boxes?
