BarkBox is a monthly subscription box for dogs. It’s one of our favorite subscription boxes – our dog loves it, and we’ve gifted it to dogs in our extended family as well!
BarkBox customizes your box to your dog’s size. For reference, this review is for the small size (our dog weighs 14 pounds). Check out Ragan's April review of the super chewer box!
My Subscription Addiction pays for this subscription. (Check out the review process post to learn more about how we review boxes).
We loved the 'Household Horrors' packaging paper!

Every BarkBox is themed and October's Holloween theme is Household Horrors!
It comes with this fun little interactive card - it reminds me of scary books I had as a child with opening doors and maneuvering items.
The card also shows off a few possible items for the month.
They even come with 6 fee BarkBox coupons to hand out to trick-or-treaters this Halloween!
As always - Buckles is READY.
Rain of Terror - Value $10
The first of two plush toys we received was this angry storm cloud.
From the Barkshop:
Bad weather means good times with the BARK Original cloud and raindrops toy. Each raindrop features a classic squeaker and the fuzzy cloud is covered in thunderous crinkle.
Not only is the plush cloud perfect for our dog, but it has his favorite feature...
Smaller plush raindrops inside! I love the little expressions on the raindrops as well - they do a great job with their toys.
Scaredryer - Value $8
One of the common household terrors for pups is the hairdryer!
From the Barkshop:
With multiple squeakers, a plush body, and t-shirt rope cord, this toy will make your pup's hair stand on end.
This was a nice combo of rope and plush for the size of our dog.
Buckles didn't like this one as much as the tiny little raindrops - but that was expected - he still got a kick out of tossing it around.
Crumps Naturals Mini Chicken Trainers - Value $8
One of three treat items this month comes from Crumps Naturals.
From the Barkshop:
Made in small batches by our Canadian friends, Crumps, these tiny chicken morsels are ideal for a training reward, but are also delicious as just a snack.
These little chicken trainers are the absolute perfect size for our pup. Not to mention, he goes bonkers for chicken.
It was no surprise at all that he LOVED these.
American Hound Soft Turkey Treats - Value $8
These second bag of treats features another small treat.
From the Barkshop:
They're made in the USA by the folks at American Hound, wheat-free and chock full o' turkey cooked to perfection. Mustard and ketchup? Pfft. Sauce is for amateurs.
So, this month he has his choice of chicken or turkey (he always chooses chicken).
Look at that determination! He loves these little trainers as well - perfect to keep at my desk.
Plato Thinkers Chicken 2 Pack - Value $6
To round off the perfect box for Buckles, he's getting this two little beef sticks.
"Where do you want me for this picture?"
From the Barkshop:
Thinkers! Smart Dog Snacks are the duck dog treat your pup craves. Made by the folks at Plato with real duck meat and all-natural, organic ingredients (including gingko biloba), this yummy snack will boost Bowser's brain power by the hour. Packed full of DHA and Omega-3 fatty acid famous for its cognitive benefits, this stick is true brain food. Why reward good behavior with bad treats? Thinkers contain no artificial preservatives or by-products. Mmm, healthy!
He almost lost his mind over these - they're easy to break off and portion control!
Verdict: This was the perfect BackBox for Buckles - all of the treats are easy to portion control for his size and the toys are right up his alley - I couldn't ask for a better selection!
