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.

RUNDA’s snuffle mat features thick chenille strands, reinforced edges, and an elevated border that helps keep kibble contained during foraging. With a larger 17 by 21 inch footprint and two suction cups for added stability, it is designed to offer a roomy, mess-conscious nose-work experience for medium to large dogs.
