BarkBox Classic Dog Subscription Box
by Bark
BarkBox delivers a themed mix each month that includes 2 toys, 2 full bags of treats, and a chew. You can specify your dog’s size, food allergies, and toy preferences, and the box adapts accordingly. Themes rotate monthly to provide flavor and texture variety, and the Classic box is geared toward light to moderate chewers with plush and stuffed toy elements.
Neater Pets Stainless Steel Slow Feed Bowl
by Neater Pets
The Neater Pets Stainless Steel Slow Feed Bowl uses a raised center hub instead of maze ridges to slow eating while keeping the design simple and hygienic. Made from stainless steel with a rubberized non-skid base, it is available in several sizes and is a durable option for dogs that dislike plastic bowls.
