Being a recent college grad (definitely does not feel like it was only 2 years ago that I graduated) my shopping budget is pretty limited. I wish I could say that I'm 'rolling in dough', but unfortunately due to the price of groceries and my online shopping addiction...I pretty much live paycheck to paycheck.

So when it comes to spoiling my pups, I try to keep it as cheap as I can. But lemme tell ya...puppy toys, food, and anything related will break your bank.

When I first head of BarkBox, which is a monthly subscription box you can order for your dogs that include treats and toys catered to your dogs size and breed, I was a little hesitant. I typically head to my nearest Tractor Supply and grab some very smelly and kinda gross bones and an expensive toy that I hope will last at least a week.

After hearing one of my coworkers go on and on about how much her Corgi loved her BarkBox, I finally gave in. I subscribed to a 6 month subscription and decided to give it a go.

Receiving my first box was a little like Christmas. I felt excited to get home and see the reaction my Bloodhound and Blue tick would have. And well...THEY LOVED IT.

The first thing I noticed about the box was that each month the toys and treats have their own theme. The first box I received was around Christmas time and it was Grinch themed, how adorable!
This month the theme caters towards sweets and candy, I assume for Valentine's Day. 

The box also includes treats that are extremely healthy for your dogs! I even tried one of the peanut butter flavored ones myself, and honestly....not so bad. Lol 
When subscribing to the box, they also give you the option to upgrade your dog toys to a more durable toy, so that if you have big hunting dogs like I do, they last a little longer. 

The toys dont usually last too long since I have two dogs that share one box, but the great thing is that the next box comes just in time for you to throw away the old dirty ones and give them new ones! 

Overall, I am extremely pleased with BarkBox. My dogs actually get genuinely excited when I come home and have the box in my arms. They love the taste of the treats and end up begging for more every time. 
Not only is the box itself great, but the companies customer service rocks as well! I had trouble changing my shipping address on the website recently and they have an option to chat with an employee. Their response time is unreal and they always follow up with an email with your dogs personalized name, which I think is just a cute touch. 

Anyways, let me know if you decided to order BarkBox and comment your thoughts below! And if you feel like it... throw a cute picture of your pup in the comments as well. ;)
