BarkBox Toy Types & Playstyles

Just like your dog’s wet noseprint, no two toys inside your dog's BarkBox are exactly the same. Luckily for pups, that means a whole lot of unexpected surprises to dig into to each month—and more joyful moments to share together. 

Without further ado, let's dig into all the different dog toy types that go into every BarkBox, and how we understand play from a dog’s-eye view:

The eternal classic, the OG legend, and the ultimate plaything. Throw pillows, slippers, and beloved stuffed animals walked so that plush dog toys could run, but who knew these soft ‘n’ squeaky faves could be so multifaceted!

Whether your dog likes to fetch, thrash, nibble, shred, squeaker-seek, or just carry them around to cuddle forever, these are the toys that have kept wagging tails coming back for 53,290,152 dog years.

Features

Material Medley: crazy crinkle, short to fluffy super-soft plush, rippled corduroy, mesh, dimpled fabric, long ‘n’ strong hair, ballistic nylon & embroidered accents, sherpa, and more!

Squeakers: disc squeakers, tube squeakers, half spiky dome squeaker, spiky squeaky ball, deep grunt squeaker.

What’s better than opening a package to find a new BARK toy? Making it plural. These toys join together to make one awesome, functional whole, often with the added bonus of hiding treats!

Features

Crazy crinkle, multiple squeakers, great for fetch & treat-hiding.

When your dog tears away the outer plush layer, there’s another surprise toy waiting to break free! Thank you, Consuela the Cactus, for paving the way for so many epic rip ‘n’ reveals.

Features

A bonus toy inside inside a toy, for dogs who embrace the art of destruction.

For fetching, flinging, and tug-of-war stalemates that only end when your arm gives out, we design a range of toys with ropes, straps, and a variety of shapes and materials.

Features

Nylon straps, stretchy bungee, t-shirt rope, and a whole lot of resilience.

Designed with extra-floppy limbs and soft-yet-durable fabric, floppy fun toys are perfect for shake-happy dogs who love a little extra flail in their fun.

Features

Floppy limps for that extra flail factor

Fetch fiends and romance fanatics can indulge in the world’s greatest love story: dogs and tennis balls. We take the classic fuzzy ball and go one step further with fabric accents for grabbing and flinging, and (you guessed it) a squeaker.

Features

The fuzzy ball you know and love, with 3D fabric features, fun prints, and a squeak as big as its bounce.

Note: Single tennis balls are an add-to-box exclusive! Join the VIP Tennis Ball Club in your add-on dashboard for recurring deliveries of a surprising new ball theme every month.

You'll only find these online (and in your dog's dreams).

Bigger, louder, and just extra in the best way.

We took all the magic and fun of our plush toys and blew them up 10x their original size. These jumbo counterparts are a match for dogs of all sizes and spirits, and they make great photo ops.

Hats, crowns, and silly costumes = photo ops.

These add-ons are the toys your pup wears, wags, and wiggles into action whether it's playtime, party time, or photo-op time.
