How do I go to barkbox.com and choose your plan?

Open your web browser and go to barkbox.com. Click "Get Started" and select how many months you want — monthly, six-month, or twelve-month. The longer plans save money each month. If you are unsure how much your dog will enjoy it, start with the month-to-month plan so you can cancel after one box if needed.

How do I enter your dog's details?

BarkBox will ask for your dog's name, size (small is under 20 pounds, medium is 20 to 50 pounds, large is over 50 pounds), and any food allergies or sensitivities — such as chicken, grain, or beef. Being accurate here matters because treats are chosen based on this information. You can update your dog's profile at any time from your account page.

How do I complete checkout?

Enter your shipping address and payment information. BarkBox accepts all major credit and debit cards. Review the order total before confirming — the first box may include a promotional discount that will not apply to future renewals. Make note of the renewal date and price so you are not surprised by the next charge.

How do I customize or swap items before shipping?

A few days before your box ships, BarkBox sends you an email preview showing what is in your upcoming box. Log into your account and check the "Upcoming box" section. If any treats conflict with your dog's allergies or you want a different toy style, click "Swap" to request a replacement. Changes need to be made before the box is packed.

How do I pause or cancel your subscription?

To pause or cancel, log into your BarkBox account, go to "My plan," and select "Manage subscription." You can pause for one to three months if you need a break or cancel entirely. Cancellation takes effect before the next billing cycle so you will not be charged again. There are no cancellation fees.

BarkBox is a monthly subscription service that delivers a themed box of dog toys, treats, and chews right to your door. Each month has a different theme — past boxes have featured characters from movies, seasons, and fun concepts like "Dognuts" or "Pizza Pups." Every box includes two toys, two bags of treats, and one chew, all sized for your dog.

Signing up is done entirely online through the BarkBox website or app. You choose how many months you want to commit to: month-to-month (the most flexible), six months, or twelve months. Longer plans cost less per month — the monthly plan runs around $35 per month while the annual plan averages around $23 per month.

During signup, you tell BarkBox about your dog — their size (small, medium, or large), any allergies or food sensitivities, and whether they tend to destroy toys quickly. If your dog is an aggressive chewer who tears apart most toys in minutes, BarkBox offers a "Super Chewer" plan that sends stronger, rubber and rope toys that hold up better.

BarkBox allows you to swap out items you do not want before a box ships. If you receive treats your dog cannot eat due to an allergy, customer service is generally responsive about sending replacements.

BarkBox is a subscription, which means it automatically renews each month. You can pause or cancel at any time from your account settings on the BarkBox website — there is no cancellation fee.
