Pet Pack Unboxing July 2015

Pet Pack Unboxing July 2015

Pet Pack is a monthly subscription pet box for your dog or cat. Starting at $20 a month. You can get your own HERE. Also used code ANCA for an extra 10% off at checkout! Also 10% of all proceeds go to help shelters, sanctuaries and more. They ship to the U.S. And now Canada! They were nice enough to send this box to us for review. Okay no more blabbing lets dig in ! (video at bottom)

First off we have Dawg Grillz Ballz. This ball isn't even out yet for people to buy. How cool is that. That's what I call VIP treatment go petpack! It floats, bounces, squeaks, and smells like peanut-butter. Its also BPA free and food safe. We really like this ball.

Next we have Blueberry & Kale treats. These are $7 a box. They are corn, soy, wheat, and GMO free. Also made in the U.S.A. Small and great for training, we are really happy with these treats.

SnoutSoother, now if you have a bulldog you probably know what this is. This product is awesome. For this little tin its $4.95, and it goes a lot farther then you think. It is great for dry or irritated nose's and skin, works as sunscreen and more. Its organic, vegan made with 100% natural ingredients. Made here in the U.S.A. this is a winner.

Last we got a Petrageous collapsible 1.5 cup pet bowl. Now for this Brand of bowl I couldn't find a good site for the most part to find this exact bowl (just one) in the size it was in the best I could do was Kohls for $28.99. So I would give it a value at at least $10-$15. Now I do want to say I'm very happy with this bowl. Its well made, and I have been meaning to buy one anyway.

So is this box worth the money ? We think so! We give petpack two thumb's up, 5 stars, A+. I hope you enjoyed our unboxing !

July 2015 BarkBox Unboxing

BarkBox Unboxing July 2015

Here is our July 2015 BarkBox unboxing. Get your own BarkBox HERE. We have size 25-50lbs. The Theme for this month is Circus. Lets dig in!

We got 2 toys in this box like normal. First we have a circus elephant. Its extra soft, cute and squeaky. Then we have this Fireman’s hose squeaky tug and toss toy. Anca like's it, but unsure on how it fits the theme.

We got two treats and a chew this month and they are all delish Anca said. First we have BarkMade Chicken Biscuits. Grain free and made here in the U.S.

The second treat is Trail Blazin Bits, beef and liver recipe. These are handmade in Canada it says, and made with only 4 ingredients, beef liver, oat flour, olive, oil and oregano. Anca really enjoys these

Last is the chew, a slow roasted knee beef knee cap. Made here in the U.S. As you can see Anca's Chihuahua sister really showed interest in this a stole it for herself. So both dogs were really happy with this months box. Hope you enjoyed seeing what we got!

BarkBox Unboxing June 2015

As always we will let Anca dig into everything, and tell you what she thinks. Then at the bottom I will give my opinion on each item and tell you how much they are worth. Also at the bottom I will include a Coupon Code you can use to get your pup a FREE month of BarkBox with any subscription. It also gives Anca another month of BarkBox too, so we both reap the benefits. Win-Win !

Lets let Anca dig in !

Toys! I Love Toys! First we have a squeaky heavy duty feeling Muscle Man. He's pretty cool, and I like his feet a lot. He also seems bouncy, but this other one smells sooo much better! The second toy is a diamond plate ball. It smells of yummy yummy mint. It bounces and floats in my pool, and sometimes a treat falls out!

Next in the box is this crunchy duck dog candy bat thing ! Its yummy, and seems to be long lasting.

Last we have some very yum stuff. These yummy tiny peanut butter treats, mom says there for training. Like you have to train perfection HA ! Then we have this way yummy I had to eat it until it was gone Piggy Twizzzie. Its Amazing! I loved my BarkBox this June, and my toys should last a long long time.  

For those of you who scroll to the bottom just for the coupon code for the FREE moth of BarkBox I'll get that out of the way first. CLICK HERE for a direct link to BarkBox with the coupon code embedded in the link, or use this coupon code at check out L25WGZAQLC .

Ok now for everything else. I'll got in the same order Anca did. First is The JW Pet Muscle Man Cuz retailing at $5. Its super durable, and squeaky. With some big muscles. Second we hace the Planet Dog Diamond Plate Ball. Its minty smelling, extra durable, bouncy, floats, and has a treat spot. This one is my favorite out two toys, but they are both pretty darn awesome. Third is the Etta Says Crunchy Duck and Sweet Potato Bar. It looks like a candy bar and Anca really wanted it. However this treat has some rawhide in it. So I will not reorder this item, and will be extremely careful letting Anca chew on this to make sure she either one does not ingest any of it or only tiny tiny amounts at a time. So this one is going to last forever. Okay Fourth we have the Bixbi Peanut Butter Pocket Trainers. These tiny training treats are awesome and will be put to good use. They are grain free and are 4 calories per treat. They are also made with blueberries and cranberries for anti-oxidant support. Last is the Emerald Pet Piggy Twizzies. Not sure why its called Twizzies as there is only one, but then what do I know. Anyway this treat is awesome even though she munched it all down in one sitting. It was gluten soy, grain and dairy free, and full of protein. So I think we did pretty good this month and I'm really happy with it. Can't wait until next month! Hope you enjoyed our June BarkBox adventure with us.

Bark Box the UnBoxing April 2015

Bark Box Unboxing !

Okay ! Lets start. We are going to let Bianca (Anca) open and check everything out first. Then at the end I will let you know my thoughts and an itemized list. Hope you enjoy ! Oh and there is a Coupon code at the bottom too!

Opening the Box

Lets dig right in ! We ordered the box for size just right 20-50 lbs.

First we checked out the toys. There was a ball rope thing. It was ok. I’ll pry play with it latter. But this crinkly squeaky thing is awesome!

Second we checked out the treats. I gave them the sniff test and the little heart crunchy's smelled so good I didn't wait for mom. I took my own. Mom had to help me with the the other ones. They were pretty good too.

Last there was a chew! I love love love chew's!

So there you have it. I Anca love it all ! Now you can hear from mom...

Okay so here is my thoughts on bark box. The box size we picked was Just right for 20-50 lbs (you can change this latter on to bigger size). The treats were awesome. All gluten free and they smelled so good you wanted to eat them ! The toys are great both made in the US. The tug and pull rope ball is made out 100% cotton and earth friendly dyes. It also can go right in the washer when its dirty. Okay the chew. The chew was a 100% natural salmon skin. Anca loved it.... It said hours of chewing ….. well Anca had this thing gone I mean gone in an hour. So I will be doing some research on how healthy it was for her to eat that all in one go before I decide if I’m reordering it.

Here is the list of each item and what each item is worth

Harry Barker Tug & Toss (rope ball tug) - $8.00

Pet Qwerks Pawpcorn (popcorn crinkle squeaker) - $10.00

Healthy Dogma Bacon Hearts (treats) - $8.00

Your Dog's Diner Pizza Pawty Crust (treats) - $7.00

Aussie Naturals Salmon Half Cigar (chew) - $5.00

So all in all I'm very happy with bark box. I love that I can change my subscriptions if I need to. It is specific to my dog and her age and weight.

So if you thinking about checking it out I'm leaving the link below. Also if you decided to try bark box please order through the link I provided and help me help you help me lol. What I mean by that is if any of my friends sign up for bar box using my referral code L25WGZAQLC we both get one free bark box ! How cool is that I didn't even know about that when I signed up ! So ok heres the link.
