Dog.com Doggie Box Months 1-6

There are almost zero reviews out there for Dog.com's DoggieBox. I found this box completely by accident. I signed up for Dog.com's emails through a contest of some kind. I recently went round and round with another pet-box subscription service about their stance on organic/non-GMO products.

*Disclaimer--I work in the biotech industry. I 100% support genetically modified products and believe they are safe, healthy, affordable options to feed the world. Better living through science.

Meet Raji!

So what is Dog.com's DoggieBox? Once a month, I get a box with 1-2 toys, 1-3 full size packages of snacks, and a few samples.  The box retails for $24.99. I am set up on autoship and I get a 10% discount for that-so I end up paying $22.50 every month. Always free shipping. I also do the math--in all six boxes, the lowest product value was $30. This included using prices from a sale from a different website. Most boxes have been near $40-45. Each month, Dog.com also includes a coupon for 25% off your next purchase-not valid on your next DoggieBox.

After 6 months, I have a hard time cancelling. I easily get my money's worth and this gives Raji some variety in her snacks and toys. She knows exactly what that box means and that it's all for her. I won't take the time to review all six boxes, but I will cherry pick a few items from different boxes.

My first box came with a bag of Mini Doggy Burgers by Happy Howie's. These little snacks were the cat's meow. (Ha..ha..ha) Raji loved these. I wish they were a little easier to break in half to make them go a little further. I didn't buy these only because I vowed to myself I wasn't going to order (too many) extra snacks if I was getting this box.

My February 2015 box came with Starmark Treat Dispensing Snoggle Dog Toy. This toy has a creature wrapped around a plastic log. You fill the toy up with snacks and as your dog plays with the Snoggle, treats fall out. I thought this toy would be great! Something to occupy my busy minded dog.... However, she promptly chewed open the hole and was very proud of getting all the treats out at once...

My most recent box, March 2015, came with a toy I was very cautious about. The Skinneeez Stuffing Free Squeaker Dog Toy. Raji will only play with toys that squeak. This. Toy. Squeaks. 19 squeakers come sewn into this toy. While there are a lot of squeakers, my dog can only figure out how to squeak one at a time-so this toy really hasn't increased her squeaking any more.

A side note, Raji is about 50 pounds and the toys are just about the right size for her. Many of the stuffed toys in the early boxes would have been much too big for a small dog. The last few boxes have included smaller, more manageable toys. Raji doesn't typically destroy toys, so I don't worry about the smaller stuffed toys with her.

For each box purchased, 25% of proceeds are donated to a shelter in need to help the less-fortunate pups out there too!

In order to receive your April 2015 box, you must place your order by 4.15.15! Order here!
