BARK is coming to Target. Yup, all of ’em.

Ok, big news folks: starting on August 13, you can find our BARK Original toys and all-natural snacks in every Target and on Target.com. This is our first retail partnership, and boy are we excited. Target will carry four BARK collections, plus an always-changing assortment of seasonal collections. You can check out Target.com/bark if you want to shop our collections or sign up for a BarkBox subscription. So, how did we make all of these products so great? Simple: we listened, and we cared. Since 2012, we’ve shipped 10 million BarkBoxes and 50 million toys and snacks. And then we asked people what their dogs liked, disliked, and LOVED. That’s a lot of feedback, and we used every bit of it to get better. And better. And now? We’re pretty sure our toys and snacks are the best out there. With an emphasis on innovative construction and clever design, we’ve created toys and snacks your dog will totally love. Starting August 13th, you’ll be able to find these collections at Target stores, Target.com and on barkshop.com: The first of many seasonal lines hit Target’s shelves on September 3rd, debuting with
