It’s not crazy to get a gift for your pup — they like new toys and treats just as much as we do. There are tons of dog-oriented subscription boxes that will send you a fun mix of toys, treats, accessories and apparel for your furry friend each month for a (relatively) low price.
These subscription boxes aren’t just great gifts for your dog, they’re also great gifts for anyone who recently got a puppy or adopted a shelter dog, or for people who need some inspiration to get their pup’s Instagram going. All prices below include shipping.
BarkBox
BarkBox
Price: $29/month; $240/year
BarkBox is probably the most popular doggie subscription box on the market — it’s the one you see on all of those dog Instagrams you definitely follow. For $20 to $29 a month, your dog will receive a mix of four or five treats and toys customized to his or her size: small (0 to 20 pounds), medium (20 to 50 pounds) or large (over 50 pounds). Each month’s toys and treats follow a theme, usually seasonal, which makes them perfect for Instagram posts. All BarkBox treats are wheat-, corn- and soy-free, and the company also makes a special allergy-friendly box for dogs who are allergic to beef, chicken and turkey (you’ll need to shoot the company an email to make sure your pup gets this box).
Loot Pets
Price: $25/month; $276/year
Buying a gift for a nerdy dog (or a nerdy dog owner)? Loot Pets, the dog-friendly offshoot of Loot Crate, is the perfect subscription gift box. This box costs $23 to $25 per month and features a mix of toys, treats and apparel following a theme (such as “Horror” or “Magic”). Each box has an exclusive doggie T-shirt that matches the human T-shirt featured in the Loot Crate box and a collar charm for your pup’s collar. The crates aren’t customizable by dog size, but you can choose your pup’s collar size (S, M, L) and shirt size (XS to 3XL; XS should fit a Chihuahua, while 3XL should fit a Great Dane).
PupJoy
Price: $23 – $44/month
PupJoy is the perfect box for picky pups — this box offers 28 customization options, including toys-only or treats-only boxes. For $23 to $44 per month, PupJoy sends a mix of toys, treats and accessories (like leashes, collars and dog shampoo). The box comes in two sizes, Uno for single-dog households and Grande for multiple-dog households. In addition to choosing toys- or treats-only boxes, you can customize boxes for your dogs’ allergies (all-natural, grain-sensitive, protein-sensitive or organic), size (toy, small, medium, large and “huuuge,” which is for dogs over 100 pounds) and toy preference (durable chew toys or soft plush toys).
Bullymake
Price: $39/month; $372/year
The plush toys in other doggie subscription boxes are cute and all that, but you know your dog will chew right through them. Bullymake is a subscription box designed for your dog — the power chewer. For $31 to $39 per month, Bullymake sends five to six ultradurable toys, treats and edible chews. All toys have a 100 percent durability guarantee: If your dog destroys something within 14 days of receiving it, Bullymake will replace it. Like BarkBox, Bullymake offers an additional premium toy per box for an extra $9 per month. The box can be customized by size and allergies (grain, chicken/grain, beef/grain), and there’s also an option for a toys-only box.
Pet Treater
Price: $25/month; $240/year
Pet Treater is a subscription box that sends a mix of toys and treats for your dog and one toy for you — just in case you were feeling left out, I suppose. Pet Treater costs $25 per month or $240 per year; all plans renew automatically, but if you just want to try the box out it will cost you $35 without an automatic renewal. The box can be customized for different sized pups (small, or 0 to 20 pounds; medium, or 21 to 50 pounds; and large, or over 50 pounds). Pet Treater tends to send more products — usually six to eight — than similarly priced dog subscription boxes.
