For our tough-toy champs, Super Chewer is diving deep into the wild with Bow Bow Bayou, a swampy, snappy, critter-packed romp designed to bring out every dog’s inner explorer.


Meanwhile, the classic BarkBox is throwing the ultimate Slobber Party — a drool-worthy celebration filled with goofy good times, plushy pals, and all the treats a pup could dream of.


Two boxes. Two themes. Endless ways to play. Let’s jump in!

SUPER CHEWER

When the moon hangs low and the swamp starts to sing, there’s only one place tough pups dare to explore: Bow Bow Bayou. Super Chewer is heading deep into a world of gators, gumbo, and good-natured mischief—where the mud is thick, the toys are tougher, and every rustle in the reeds could be your dog’s next adventure. Grab your lantern and your bravest chewer, because the bayou is calling… and it’s ready to play rough.
