Pros
Fun themes
Easy to customize
Cons
Soft toys are easy to rip apart
BarkBox is a household name for a reason, and if you've spent even a few minutes browsing for a dog subscription box for your beloved pooch, chances are you came across this one. BarkBox is the OG not only because of its adorable themed toys, treats and doggie goodies, but because it's customizable to ensure your pooch gets the stuff they'll love.
Each monthly box comes with two themed toys (featuring everything from Harry Potter to school supplies), two bags of treats and a chew to keep your furball busy. Our pros love how unique the themed toys are and the joy on their pup's face when they get a package just for them.

Pet Treater Dog Pack

Pros
Available in treat-only or toy-only versions
Comes with a good variety of items
Cons
Not as high quality toys (may not stand up to heavy chewers)
Snag this adorable box for less than you'd likely pay if you wandered down the aisles at your pet store browsing for cute treats and toys. With three or four items in each box, you'll be sure to get more than your money's worth of charming toys, treats and other pup accessories.
You can even personalize your subscription by ordering treat-only or toy-only boxes rather than the traditional mix of the two, or if you're looking for something a little bigger, there's a deluxe option available with five to eight items per box. Online reviewers appreciate the variety of items and note they're definitely getting a good bang for their buck. Plus, it's available as a cat subscription box, too!
Price | Starts at $15 monthly |

Pros
Comes with treats, toys and chews
Easy to adjust delivery frequency
Cons
Toys not for heavy chewers
With a high level of customizability, this box works well for those with specific tastes. It comes in small, medium and large dog options so the goodies will suit your pup's size. You can also adjust the delivery frequency to bi-monthly or quarterly if Fido doesn't finish the contents quickly enough to make a monthly box worth it.
Each box comes with four treats sourced from Canada or the U.S. — two toys and two chews that are natural and eco-friendly — according to the brand. Online reviewers particularly like the variety of products included and note that the snacks seem to be made with your pooch's health in mind, so you can treat them without worry. Plus, it's easy to order directly from Amazon.

Pros
Large variety of products
Surprise every month
Cons
Difficult to customize and you don't know what type of products you'll recieve
With tasty treats and supplies like poo bags and apparel, keep your pup stocked up with this monthly box. The toys are particularly great and specially designed by the Chompbox team. The goods change every delivery, so you and Fido won't get bored and you can try out new products curated by pet pros.
According to online reviewers, each box comes with a good number of products in a wide variety. Unlike other boxes which usually only include an assortment of toys and treats, Chompbox will surprise you with everything from supplements to leashes.

Pros
Sends replacement of chewed through toys for free
Easy to customize
Cons
Might not stand up to extremely destructive chewers
If you've got a dog who loves nothing more than tearing their favorite toys limb by limb, Super Chewer will save you the frustration of picking up all that stuffing. One editor's pit bull has had toys from his Super Chewer box for almost two years now. You can also customize the included treats to suit your pet's allergies or preferences.
Each Super Chewer box comes with two toys, two bags of treats and two chews. Plus, if your pooch does manage to chomp through their toys, BarkBox will send them a replacement for free. While this box is great for heavy chewers, if you have a particularly destructive dog, these toys made of rubber might not stand up to their jaws. Our pros found their customer service to be very friendly and accommodating.
Price | Starts at $40 per month with discounts for yearly and 6-month subscriptions |

Pros
Can choose between plush and durable toys
Easy to customize
Cons
Can be difficult to cancel
This cute box will deliver your pet toys, treats and accessories made in the United States for less than you might spend wandering a big-box store (we all know how those impulse buys go). You can also share your pet's preferences and dietary needs before shipping and sign up for gift boxes for Fido's birthday or holidays.
What sets this box apart from many of the others is that there's an option to purchase your box for multiple pets, so those who have more than one furry friend running around can get a little something for both of them at the same time. You also let the brand know whether you prefer plush or durable toys while signing up so you get the best items for your fur baby.

Pros
Fresh and air-dried
Easy to customize for pets with allergies or special preferences
Cons
Can be difficult for pets with sensitive stomachs used to kibble
For the pup with a discerning palate (and the pet parent that is very particular about what they feed their pooch), Real Dog Box's fresh, air-dried treats will have your pup begging for more. Pick from a variety of box styles like treats only, chews only, a mix of the two and even a super chew box to customize the right fit for your furry friend.
We spoke to two pet parents who love how fresh and healthy these treats are, that they have the opportunity to support a small business when they purchase the Real Dog Box and that each treat is a single ingredient and air-dried so you know exactly what's going into your pup's mouth. They also appreciate that the brand provides a lot of information on dog nutrition. This is particularly great for pets with allergies or special preferences.

How we chose the best dog subscription boxes
The Good Housekeeping Institute reviews pet products of all kinds, from pet cameras to help you keep an eye on your furry friends to the best dog harnesses for pups of all sizes. To create this guide, our experts searched through dozens of top-rated dog subscription boxes, considering their 5-star reviews, our knowledge of the brands as a whole and more.
We look at each box's offerings, price, customer service, ease of personalization and more when choosing our favorite picks. We also considered boxes for different situations, from getting healthy pet food to providing cute toys for your furry friend. These picks are made up of our product pros' and reviewers' favorites and popular brands with rave reviews from real pet parents.
What to consider when shopping
- Dog size and breed: It's important to provide toys and treats that are the right size for your pet depending on their breed and size to ensure their safety. Toys and treats that are too small or big for your pet can be a choking hazard.
- Materials: If you've got a heavy chewer on your hands, plush toys just won't cut it. When it comes to picking the right subscription box consider what toys and treats your pet currently likes and what might be dangerous for them to play with or eat.
- Products: Are you in the market for pet treats, food, toys or something else? There's a subscription box for all your needs no matter what you're interested in.
