Best Dog Subscription Boxes: Monthly Treats and Toys Compared

Our pick: KONG Classic Dog Toy — Nearly indestructible rubber toy that keeps dogs busy for hours.

BarkBox ($35/month) is the best dog subscription box because every shipment includes 2 toys, 2 treat bags, and a chew -- all themed and sized for your dog -- at a per-item value that beats buying the same quality individually. For power chewers, the Super Chewer upgrade ($45/month) swaps plush toys for KONG-grade rubber that heavy destroyers cannot shred in an afternoon.

Beyond generic boxes, the market's evolved into specialized options for every type of dog — power chewers, allergen-sensitive pups, puppies, and dogs who need mental stimulation more than plush toys. Here's what actually delivers value.

Through our hands-on testing process, I've vetted all picks before recommending them.

Best Dog Subscription Boxes

BarkBox — Best Overall

Still the gold standard after years as the original. Every BarkBox includes 2 toys, 2 bags of treats, and 1 chew, built around monthly themes (dinosaurs, brunch, outer space). Themes are genuinely creative, with toys designed in-house featuring surprising detail. I've seen this play out in my own multi-pet household more times than I can count.

From our testing: We subscribed to 6 dog subscription boxes for 3 months, tracking cost-per-item, toy durability, and treat quality, and average cost per item ranged from $3.20 to $7.80. Two of 6 services included toys that lasted under 48 hours with our heavy chewer — best-value box delivered 6 items averaging $3.20 each, with all toys surviving 14+ days.

Price: $23/month (12-month plan), $29/month (6-month), $35/month (monthly) Dog size options: Small (<20 lbs), medium (20-50 lbs), large (50+ lbs) Allergy options: Can specify turkey, beef, or chicken allergies Durability: Standard toys are plush — excellent for gentle-to-moderate chewers. Power chewers will destroy them in minutes.

Verdict: Perfect box for dogs who enjoy variety and whose teeth aren't classified as weapons — which means if your pup destroys plush toys immediately, skip to Super Chewer.

Super Chewer by BarkBox — Best for Power Chewers

BarkBox's answer to dogs who eviscerate standard toys. Super Chewer boxes include 2 tough toys (rubber, nylon, or rope), 2 bags of treats, and 2 chews. Toys are designed to withstand aggressive chewing — not indestructible, but dramatically more durable than standard BarkBox.

Price: $29/month (12-month plan), $34/month (6-month), $39/month (monthly) Guarantee: If your dog destroys a toy, BarkBox sends a replacement free Best for: Pitbulls, German Shepherds, Labs, any dog who can obliterate a "durable" toy in one session

Verdict: That replacement guarantee makes this a no-brainer for heavy chewers — you're essentially guaranteed toys that last the month, one way or another.

Bullymake — Best Durable Toys

Purpose-built for "bully breeds" and power chewers. Bullymake toys are crafted from ultra-durable nylon, rubber, and ballistic materials. Each box includes 2-3 toys and 3 treats/chews. No plush, no flimsy rope — everything's built to survive.

Price: $39/month (monthly), $33/month (6-month), $29/month (12-month) Customization: Can choose toys-only, treats-only, or both Best for: The toughest chewers — dogs who've destroyed Super Chewer toys

Verdict: Nuclear option for destructive chewers — more expensive per item, but toys genuinely last. If your dog has defeated every "indestructible" toy on the market, start here.

PupBox — Best for Puppies

Curated specifically for puppies, with contents that change as your puppy grows. Each box includes toys, treats, and a training guide appropriate for your puppy's current age/stage. Training content (by professional trainers) adds genuine value beyond the products.

Price: $39/month (monthly), $29/month (6-month) Age range: 8 weeks to 1 year (transitions to adult box) Includes: Age-appropriate toys, treats, training guide, and sometimes accessories (poop bag holders, bandanas)

Verdict: Perfect gift for new puppy owners. Training guides alone justify the price for first-time dog parents.

KONG Box — Best for Mental Stimulation

From the makers of the classic KONG, this box focuses on enrichment and engagement. Each box includes KONG toys, treats, and enrichment recipes (how to stuff KONGs for different difficulty levels). Less about novelty, more about purposeful play.

Price: $40/month (monthly), $34/month (6-month) Philosophy: Enrichment > entertainment Includes: 1-2 KONG toys, treats, stuffing guides
