So what came in the box: 2 Cans of Mulligan Stew in Salmon and Duck, Lucky Dog-Peanut Butter and Berry Amazing treats, In Clover Grin Dental Chews, Earth Heart Canine Calm Spray, MedNet Ultra Puppy Wipes, and Amazing Pet Rope Ball. All made in the good-o US of A.
What makes them different from other monthly boxes: A sheet describing each product came with the box just like Bugsy’s Box. There is a choice of picking a standard size box which is full size items and a mini size box which is travel/trial size items. I went with a standard box, considering my dog is on the big side and would demolish anything too small. You can also specify what size your dog is when ordering your box.
Cost: $24.50 for the large dog box.
Coupon code: “Intro15S” or “Intro15M” for 15% off first month, “S” for standard size and “M” for mini size boxes.
Eclair’s Verdict: Toss out that rope ball please, I couldn’t even get my mouth around it. What am I suppose to do with it?! The wet food made my meals very tasty but I had to go more than normal because it was introduced too quickly. I know, I know, 2 spoons is not a lot but hey! I’m a GS and we are a sensitive stomach lot! I did love the box that my stuff came in. It took me 30 minutes to tear it to pieces, now that was fun! Can you tape the pieces together and let me do that again?
Human Verdict: Okay…that rope toy frankly sucked! My dog wants to be engaged, and for a simple ball of fabric that doesn’t even bounce! Come ON! I was hoping for something for stimulating or novel, but it’s a fabric ball and I can’t even play tug-o-war with her. For me that toy killed any hope of redemption for this box. Aside from the rope ball, the dental chews were alright. I did like how they smelled differently from typical treats. The other treats, Peanut butter and berry ones were ok. She was a bit hesitant to try it at first. She sniffed it first, then proceeded to test out it’s texture and taste, then finally biting into it. The good part about those treats were it’s lack of added salt, colors, and preservatives. The bad part was it included oats. My dooogie has a sensitive stomach and grains seem to quicken her digestive system. The can foods were “extremely hearty”. I had to use them as a topping for her meals. And since the cans used limited ingredients I did approve of them. And since they used less preservatives then other food companies, the can I assumed wouldn’t last long in the fridge once opened. I would have liked a number-of-viable-days-after-opening on the can. I ended up tossing it out after 2 days in the fridge. The calming spray, did not calm her. It smelled nice and outdoorsy but didn’t live up to it’s purpose. Out of everything that came in this box, I only loved the puppy wipes, those were so very useful.
OVERALL: The highlight of the box was the doggy wipes… wow, that was really pathetic. Doggy wipes. *frown*
