March Barkbox Review

We love our monthly fun surprise when the Barkbox arrives. This month's was especially fun thanks to some great squeaky toys and treats.
March's box had a breakfast theme

I can't ever really review treats from what the dogs thought of them because all of the dogs at my house think that any food is GREAT!

If they reviewed a new treat it would go like this:

Chima: More, more, MORE!
Salinas: Love it! Awesome! HEY - Did Chima get more than me?!
Tilly: NO FAIR!!! (Tilly is on a special diet and mourns the loss of trying out new treats)
Frodo: Most excellent! May I have a fourth helping?
Klee: Treats, treats, treats! I love treats! More treats! Whoops, sorry Sal. (after she jumps on top of Salinas in puppy excitement)

So I can only say that these treats both had wonderful, healthy ingredients and the dogs sucked them down when offered a sample. I've fed the Hare of Dog treats before - they make an all rabbit treat (and when I mean all, I mean ALL of the rabbit and only the rabbit.)  It's a great choice for dogs with allergy issues.

The squeaky toys this month were wonderful. Made of suede and stuffed with coconut fiber, they were tougher than your average plush toy but still, not something that would hold up to a precision power chewer like Salinas or Frodo.


Chima broke in the toy as she always does - full on rolling around attack, complete with growling, groaning, and pouncing. Salinas settled in with the bacon and got right to work on scissor mouthing that thing open. She didn't get to play with it for long since I wanted it to last more than the 2 minutes it would take for her to cut it open.

Chima gettin' her crazy on

Chima - this is when she pauses, daring the toy to move so she can beat it into submission. After the pause to build anticipation, she kicks it, chases it down, and then commences with the toy beating

Salinas, chewing the side of the bacon with dainty, quiet precision. For all Chima's loud and wild show, a toy in Salinas' paws has a much shorter lifespan.

Frodo seemed to really like the fact that they were leather and spent a lot of time sniffing the toy in between chews.

And Klee? Well she was just so excited to get a turn with the bacon that she couldn't stop running around with it in her mouth long enough to squeak it.

Not sure who will score the bull bladder chew but they've had these before and love them. Not quite as durable as a bully stick but apparently equally as tasty.
