Companies like HelloFresh, Revive Superfoods and Cratejoy are some of Canada’s most popular subscription services, for people. For those of us who have pups, we may want to treat them with subscription boxes of their very own. With a selection of monthly surprises that dogs will love, there are plenty of options for a subscription box.
BarkBox
BarkBox launched in 2012 with its monthly-themed subscription reaching more than a million dogs across North America every four weeks. In 2017, the popular pooch-catering service launched in Canada with limited offerings but some pretty good gear to treat your pet on the regular.
