My best friend/roommate and I have been taking care of his brother's dog for about 2 months now (and will for quite a few more) while he's away. So I was considering getting him (the dog) one of the various dog subscription boxes there are out there. Then I heard about a promo code for PetBox that allowed you to sign up for a 3-month subscription for a TOTAL of only $8.86! At less than $3.00 a box, I couldn't say no. I signed up immediately. They offer boxes for dogs or cats and you can choose what types of items you want to receive. You can even choose your items if you want! I decided to be surprised. | The deal was for a 3-month subscription to the Snack box and this review is for a male dog, 50+lbs. |
This was the first thing Drex went for when the box opened! He's actually not much of a tug-o-war kinda dog because he's just a gentle giant and will let go as soon as you pull on something he has. We managed to get him to play with us by growling at him and pulling it back and forth. He played for a while... and then just laid down and chewed on it. But that's totally fine with us because this rope is minty fresh to help with that gross dog breath! It's 100% natural so we're not worried if he chews it all up, that's what it's made for! He carries this thing around with him everywhere now - he even sleeps with it under his head! It's adorable. It says it's also good for retrieving - which might work for most dogs, but when we throw it, he just runs to get it and then lays down with it in his mouth. |
Luckily, we don't have any need for this wound and skin care product right now but this is a great item to have on hand if the occasion arises! It's veterinarian recommended, safe and non-toxic, alcohol, steroid and antibiotic free, non-irritating and non-sensitizing, and is safe if licked or ingested. All of those traits are really important when treating any type of animal - this is actually safe for use on all animal species too! Hopefully, this sample size will be all we ever need. Drex does have a habit of getting himself into weird situations where he can get hurt. He actually stepped on a little cactus last month and had a piece stuck in his paw for a bit. We got it out and he didn't seem bothered after that but this might have been good to use if we had had it! |
I'm actually really surprised this wasn't the first thing Drex went for - these even smell good to me! I gave him one right away though and he DEVOURED it in seconds. It's a nice crunchy bar that's easy to break up and chew. We only have a couple left because he loves them so much. I keep these on the table outside our kitchen and I've noticed that every time I give him one. He chomps it down in a few bites and then sits right at the edge of the table staring at the bag for like 15 minutes before he figures out I'm only going to give him one. These are another great product made with all natural ingredients, all farmed and made in the US, no additives, by-products, or artificial preservatives. They're glycerin, grain, corn, gluten, soy and wheat free. |
This box was a huge hit with Drex AND me! He loved the two products he could get his paws on and I like the fact that we have some wound care on hand. He's sleeping with his rope right now actually. I'm really excited for the next box to come in a few weeks! I was actually really surprised at the number of items we received in this box - and a great value total too! |
We only ended up paying about $2.95 for this box and received a total value of about $26.00! That's even a good value for the actual cost of this box normally, which is $9.95 a month with FREE shipping! I might even keep this subscription going after my 3-month subscription runs out. I think we'll have Drex until around July so that's a few more months to cater to his every need! Another thing I like about this box is when I opened it, it says "This petbox helped feed a rescue pet." That makes me feel even better about getting this box. If I could, I'd adopt all the rescue animals there are, but I can't fit that many in my tiny apartment so it feels good that I can help out a little bit by getting some treats for the dog I do have. I highly recommend this box for anyone with a dog or a cat - there are a lot of options available, so head over to www.getpetbox.com to check it out! I'm not sure if it still works, but try using promo code 'BHG' on a 3-month Snack subscription to get the same deal I did! |
