For the month of November, we had the pleasure of reviewing BarkBox, PoochPerks, The Dapper Dog Box and Happy Hound Club box. If you are interested in trying any of these dog subscription boxes, I will include links and discount codes at the end of this post.
As always, below is our “ranking system”. Our ranking system is strictly based on Bruce Wayne’s size and preferences. There may have been a box that your dog loved, but wasn’t a great fit for Bruce Wayne and vice versa. Bruce Wayne is extremely picky and borders on almost “strange” at times, lol. I encourage you at one point or another to give all these boxes a try. You never know what you’ll get, which is always the most fun part of it all.
| Box Name | Toys | Treats | Extra/Accessory | Overall Value | Ranking |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| BarkBox | 1 | 3 | 4 | 3 | 3 |
| PoochPerks | 3 | 1 | 2 | 2 | 2 |
| The Dapper Dog Box | 2 | 2 | 1 | 1 | 1 |
| Happy Hound Club | 4 | 4 | 3 | 4 | 4 |
Bottom Line: For the month of November, our favorite box was The Dapper Dog Box! This box definitely had that WOW factor! The Coco + Pistachios plaid bandana really won me over. I absolutely love red on Bruce Wayne. I’m not sure if it was luck of the draw of if Kerri, The Dapper Dog Box owner, had read in one of our comments that I love Bruce Wayne in red. (Don’t laugh or think I’m joking, Kerri really does put that much love and effort in making sure her clients love their box.) Also, the treats picked were amazing and exactly what I like to give Bruce Wayne. You can never go wrong with Grandma Lucy products in our house. I would have rated The Dapper Dog Box “1” in the treat category, however, Bruce Wayne wasn’t a fan of the CocoTherapy Fruit Crunch. Again, I rank the boxes strictly on Bruce Wayne’s preferences. While I absolutely loved getting the Fruit Crunch, Bruce Wayne just snubbed his Chi-Chi nose at it 🙁 sad because he really loved the CocoTherapy Macaroons.
The November boxes were really hard for me to choose. The standout item to me was probably from BarkBox. I absolutely loved the “Lick the Chef” toy apron. Mainly because Bruce Wayne is small enough that he can actually wear it as an apron. A close second overall was definitely the PoochPerks box. They always pack so many goodies into each box and I loved receiving Mojo’s Morsels and a One Fur All candle.

Hi! We love reading your reviews of all of the different boxes, we are currently shopping for a subscription box. I don’t know if we have a favorite brand that we want to see… the thing we love most about the subscription boxes is learning about new brands and being able to try them! Thanks – Kara & Bliss @blissisbeingaweasel
I certainly understand your passion to find new brands. I learned of CocoTherapy through The Dapper Dog Box and I couldn’t be happier. Bruce Wayne absolutely loves their coconut macaroons. I’ve had to order more online to satisfy his cravings, lol.
Thank you for your entry and good luck!
Hi! I love this review! We’ve done a bark box subscription before and loved it. I just bought one month of a rescue box (proceeds go towards vaccinating and feeding shelter dogs, so I couldn’t resist)…but I’ve been wondering what else is out there. My older dog (Frank) LOVES getting mail and opening it. Lol. So, I feel like we need a subscription again. I enjoy finding new healthy fun treat options and I’d like to see some electronic type toys. Like babble balls (petqwerks). Thanks for the reviews! Lindsay aka frank_n_ophelias_mom
Including electronic toys would be such a cool option! I haven’t introduced Bruce Wayne to any yet, but have been wanting too. I would defiantly suggest The Dapper Dog Box if healthy treats is a concern of yours. I am big on ingredients and they have yet to send a treat that wasn’t in line with my treat morals 😉
Thank you for your entry and good luck!
Great review! I’m most excited to see CoCoTherapy included and appreciate you doing a giveaway! @carlton.banks on Instagram.
I first learned of CocoTherapy through The Dapper Dog Box and I can’t even tell you how much Bruce Wayne loves those macaroons, lol. He went bonkers for them!
Thank you for your entry and good luck!
Happy to learn about Coco Therapy! Instagram reya360
They are truly healthy and great treats!
Thank you for your entry and good luck!
My dogs would look forward to the Gradma Lucy treats above all else! 😋😋😋
Oh yes, we’ve gotten them once or twice and Bruce Wayne loved them. Especially loved the stinky white fish, lol.
Thank you for your entry and good luck!
Hmm, we’ve never received one of these subscription boxes, so we have no idea what they stick in them other than reading your reviews and seeing them on IG! But we love Zuke’s treats! 😄 @latteandmaddie
That’s ok, we wanted to hear what you would like to see in any box, so you nailed it! 🙂
Thank you for your entry and good luck!
cautious_calypso (IG) here! I love the Zippy Paws hide n seek toys. They never get old and I love when mom stuffs some treats in with the squirrels! I can poke and bite at them for hours and still be pleased to see them restuffed and start all over!
That’s so hilariously awesome! I have a few of those toys. We love them, but Bruce Wayne definitely doesn’t understand the concept, lol. But he loves to play with the small toys that you’re supposed to hide since they are his size usually.
Thank you for your entry and good luck!
Honey is extremely picky about treats so I am always on the lookout for new and quality treats. I know she will love the wreath toy because she loves to play tug! @honey.poo.poo
That’s so funny because Bruce Wayne is extremely picky about treats as well. Sometimes, he will just let them sit on the floor all day if he isn’t a fan. The wreath toy is so much fun!
Thanks for your entry and good luck!
Question Answer: What brand would most excite our dogs?
JW Pet Company toys and Old Mother Hubbard natural treats.
I don’t think I am familiar with JW Pet Company toys or we may have seen them but not known that they were from there. We will have to check them out. We love being introduced to new brands that others love.
Thank you for your entry and good luck!
I would love to see Nothing Added treats in a subscription box! NA is an amazing company that delivers high quality, single ingredient treats/snacks. They’re perfect to supplement my raw-fed bunch. Atticus and Scarlett go CRAZY for the rabbit ears 🙂 (@mr.atticus.ms.scarlett)
That sounds amazing and exactly the kind of treats I love to give Bruce Wayne. We will be checking them out for sure. Bruce Wayne is raw fed too 🙂
So funny that one of your pups name is Atticus, that is what we named one of Bruce Wayne’s favorite toys.
Thank you for your entry and good luck!
I believe any treat that isn’t of the ordinary Skye would eat so fast. And usually she’s not treat motivated at all. (Odd ball!!) I am talking like pumpkin or blueberry in the treat! I did love how wigglebuttbox was because I got a gift for myself that always was tied into having dogs! But we don’t always need that. The more toys the merrier! (Blueeyeskye)
LOL, that’s great. She deserves to be picky 😉 That’s great to get human stuff that is also dog related.
Thanks for your entry and good luck!
I would love Coco + Pistachio frayed plaid bandana! I have been following them for a while, and absolutely love them! My dogs love food, so no problems there, but I prefer low calorie treats for them. Another brand to add to a box might be Snap In Dog Bows, they’re super cute, and are customized to fit on any width collar! (tahoeaussies)
We loved the Coco + Pistachio bandana. That was our first time trying one and it was super fancy and looked great on BW 🙂 I’m sure many dogs would love the Snap In Dog Bows idea. Unfortunately, BW can’t wear collars right now (he has enlarged tonsils and throat issues).
Thank you for your entry and good luck!
I would love to see Honest Kitchen added to a box. The weens love the food and the treats. I have to be careful what I feed them as jack can have tummy issues sometimes and Sophia has skin allergies. (@mythreedoxies )
That’s a great idea. I love what The Honest Kitchen brings to the table so to speak. Their treats are super healthy, which I love.
Thank you for your entry and good luck!
I would love to try a new box!! So far we’ve only done Bark Box! But even some hypoallergenic treats are not good for me! Because they contain flavorings. Or something I can’t have. So I end up giving treats away! 😥 We love the toys of course! And you ❤️😘
Thank you so much for your kind words. With many boxes, I have to give the treats away too. I’ve had really good luck with the treats we’ve gotten from The Dapper Dog Box. 🙂
Thank you for your entry and good luck!
The brand we like best is pride bites! On IG we are betsy_and_frida_frenchie thanks for the contest!
They are certainly a popular brand among IG pups 🙂
Thank you for your entry and good luck!
@bauergram here! I’d love to see Dog for Dog treats (they’re delicious and generous so I don’t need to feel bad about my snacking!) But really anyone who makes a puzzle feeder to put my treats in would be the best addition in my eyes. Gotta keep my mind as sharp as my good looks!
That’s a great idea! I’ve only tried a cat treat feeder, but a puzzle one does sound fun.
Thank you for your entry and good luck!
My dog Paco really enjoys nylabone chews. He was lucky enough to win some at this year’s Mets Bark at the Park event.
IG: mocalaloca
Email: stephaniemosquera_sm@yahoo.com
That’s awesome! One of Bruce Wayne’s favorite chews are the blue puppy bone. He’s no longer a puppy but that will always be his first love, lol.
Thank you for your entry and good luck!
This is a fun contest. Thanks for hosting! The only treats I eat (so far) are dried liver and the two companies we have purchased them from are Benny Bully’s and Pride Bites. So either of those treats in a box would be a bonus! Good luck to everyone!! @beausybear
Yes!! Bruce Wayne loves dried liver! You can’t ever go wrong with dried freeze organ treats! 🙂
Thank you for your entry and good luck!
Love that wreath toy ☺. We love getting new brands we haven’t considered before, but always love a good Fabdog toy. Would also never turn down Three Dog Bakery treats!
@eastcoastpups
We hadn’t heard of Fabdog toys but just googled them and they look like so much fun! 🙂 Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for your entry and good luck!
We would love to see a ‘topper’ added to a box, they made a boring meal so yummy 😋 kristen.and.roxi
That’s a great idea. I just added some CocoTherapy Coconut Chips to Bruce Wayne’s breakfast, he loves them!
Thank you for your entry and good luck!
I would love to see Peacebonepet bones! They are my favorite bones for Colby- they come from a small company but they are very high quality and all natural! Thanks for another great review!
We are unfamiliar with them, but will certainly look them up. I love learning of new products from recommendations of our friends.
Thank you for your entry and good luck!
We would love to see Fruitables Skinny Minis in a box. They have interesting natural flavor combos and are low calorie which is good for doxies who need to watch their weight. We’d also love a paw balm or wax to help protect against the snow and cold!
They are both great ideas! Bruce Wayne needs to watch his crude fat intake too these days, so we certainly understand.
Thank you for your entry and good luck!
Nibletdog is our ig name.
We like pride bites and honest kitchen, but honestly, we’ve never tried a subscription box. Maybe it’s an idea of what to get my pups for a (late) Christmas gift! I just never knew if they were a good value. Thanks to stumbling upon your blog here, I feel like I could make a good decision to try one! Thank you!
Thank you so much for your kind words. I love subscription boxes for Bruce Wayne. Sometimes, we can’t use much in the boxes, but other times we use everything. It can certainly be a hit or miss, but that’s the fun for me in it. When we’ve found something he and I both like, it’s worth the price of admission times ten! 🙂
Thank you for your entry and good luck!
Hi Bruce! It’s Dennis from @dani_and_dennis . I don’t get a lot of store bought treats, but I like pride bites! Really interested in that Coco therapy, too! Thanks for doing this fun giveaway!
Thank you very much, Dani and Dennis! Great to see you here 🙂 I’m sure Dennis would certainly love Coco Therapy. Bruce Wayne went nuts for the macaroons. If you can find them in store, that would be best. I’ve had 50/50 luck with them being delivered in the mail because they are super sensitive.
Thank you for your entry and good luck!
We are excited about whatever you recommend =)
Thank you very much, Maggie & Orbit. We have found some of our favorite products from recommendations of our friends.
Thank you for your entry and good luck!
