Another month of two totally unique themes — one for BarkBox and one for Super Chewer


Two adventures. Two vibes. All the squeaks, chomps, and drool your pup can handle!

BARKBOX: Sniffin' Serengeti

Across the open savanna, toys roam like gazelles and treats migrate from bag to belly. In this animal kingdom, your dog reigns at the top of the play chain. Whether they’re tracking snacks or taking down toys, your pup is here to leave their pawprint on the plains.
