Every BarkBox has a theme – this month is ‘Are You Afraid of the Bark?’ – how perfect is that!?

Let’s start with this month’s toys!

Ryder’s Bewitching Broomstick – Value $8

Our first toy was a plush broomstick – it’s got a squeaker in the handle, also. Surprisingly, Buckles was not into this toy (and it seemed perfect for him!), but fear not, it has found a home with a very happy pup!

Rest in Pieces Tombstone – Value $12

This is one of my favorite toys from BarkBox ever – it made me chuckle!

It’s plush and squeaky with a ‘Here Lies Squirrel’ headstone! That’s pretty cute.

Again, it seemed like he’d be into this toy as well – but this is the only split second of him caring about it at all – lots of other pups got some new toys to play with, though!

Beef Bites – Value $9

These littles bites are THE favorite of the month! Buckles has been pretty jealous lately since we’ve been testing out a spicy beef jerky subscription. Luckily, I had these ready to make sure he didn’t feel left out.

They’re small squares, perfectly bite-size for our small dog.

He’s a pro at modeling.

These are the current go-to treat in the house. He loves them, and they’re not too big of a treat – it’s a win-win.

Ghoul Gobblers – Value $6

The second bag of treats features a duck and pumpkin blend.

They’re shaped like little ducks, too!

I’d say he was pretty excited about the next taste test.

Again, another win this month – while he still prefers the first treats, he doesn’t turn these away when he’s offered them.

Doggie Delights Sliced Femur – Value $5

We don’t give these kinds of chews to Buckles because of his stomach – so they’re always gifted to a lucky pup. This month’s rawhide choice feels a little more substantial than their typical pig ear, though.

Verdict: Two soft toys and two perfect treats – it was a really good month of BarkBox. On top of a good product selection, I thought the Halloween design was fun and silly for the toys, good job! The value is good too – this box is a $40 value – they’ve been doing a great job at stay around the same value point for a couple of months now.

What do you think of the October BarkBox? What Halloween toys did your dog get?
