Has anyone tried this "Pet Box"? I was thinking of trying this for Winnie... $9.99 a month...first month is free (4.99 shipping) I just wondered if anyone has actually tried this! Thanks in advance

No I never tried it but think I can probably do better shopping on my own.

We do bark box and love it. We have done it for several years.

We get BarkBox, it's exciting to get every month!

How much is bark box?

I just tried the pet box for my guys. I signed up for a free box through Iheartradio. I paid 7.99 shipping & thought it was for one box. I just got an email saying that my next box will be shipped soon, so now I'm confused. I don't know if the deal was for one month, or if I will be getting more boxes.

The box was just "OK". It contained an "aussie ear", some kind of chew that I withheld because it reminded me of rawhide. There was a tiny bag of sweet potato chips which my guys liked, a larger bag of crunchy jerky treats that they also liked, and a sample size bag of Evangers kibble along with a coupon.

It kind of seemed like a small collection of samples, and I think I could have gotten the same amount of items at the pet store that my guys would like better for the same amount of money.

IDLike it, I don't give my guys any store bought treats & that was all there was. It would be great for people that like surprises & are not picky.

You may want to check that because you signed up for a free box that somewhere in small print you are now on an auto ship until you cancel. If you don't cancel they will keep shipping every month and charge your credit card every month.

I got the same petbox as initilis & we didn't need to enter our credit card info, just our mailing address & email...it was a one time special introductory offer for $7.99.
But yes, you do need to read the fine print, esp if you entered your credit card info. Those usu have automatic subscriptions.

This was what we got:

I have to edit this, there was 1 naturally home made dehydrated sweet potato treats. I gave my furries that, they LOVED it & I was comfortable giving them that.

I used a visa gift card, so they can't charge it again as there is a zero bance now.

I got the same thing in my box. Not even worth the $7.99 shipping really imho.

I have to say I agree!

Thank you all for your input and advice!! I have decided against it based on your responses...basically I just wanted to see if the advertisement of the product matched reviews of actual users! Winnie doesn't get a lot of treats especially now with her recent tummy troubles...and I felt like I was depriving her haha but I do have a bag of Zukes mini naturals waiting in the wings for her when she's back on track! She loves those things....very eager to please for a Zukes!
