Machete's July BarkBox Arrived! :)
machete’s july barkbox arrived yesterday, and it was full of awesome stuff! like, this was a box chock full of goodies, more than ever before, i think!
now that machete is older, he gets to help open the boxes himself, as opposed to me opening it for him entirely. he gets super stoked for this. of course, now whenever we get any packages in the mail at all, he totally thinks they’re all for him :p
the first item in the box was a dog ‘smoothie’ from mr. barksmith’s. this is the 2nd time that we’ve gotten a mr. barksmith’s smoothie and machete already loves them, so we’re pretty stoked to have this again. i bought him more last time during a barkblitz sale, and he loved it.
obviously, mr. flufferbutt is super excited to have another one. last time we got an apple-based smoothie, but he totally loves peanut butter so this will be great for him.
next we got this really amazing flexi-bowl from safemadepet.com. like, it is AWESOME. it’s silicone-based, dishwasher safe, oven safe, freezer safe! you can fill it with a frozen treat recipe for your pup. fill it with water and drop a few treats inside and instant summertime cool down fun for your pup! obviously, we’re really stoked about this one. plus, it’s totally paw print shaped, so pupcake time!
and then there were some treats from clear conscience pet, human grade tender stikz. apparently they contain no preservatives, so use them quickly, and if there are any leftovers, refridgerate! machete is obviously chomping at the bit to nom on these.
next we got a toy! an actual toy, yay! it’s a dual-treat pocket bone from wigzi.com — i’ve never heard of them before, but this is pretty snazzy. and not only that it’s an interactive toy with two treat reservoirs! yay! also it totally smells like peanutbutter, just like machete’s first ever barkbox’s wee-nut. it’s dishwasher safe, recyclable, and awesome. i think this it the thing he was most stoked for.
also there were some treats from max & ruffy’s, which i’ve never heard of before, but they’re human grade ingredients and sound amazing. coconut & banana? that’s awesome. i can’t wait to try these out, though we do have a bit of a treat surplus going on right now, so it may take a while.
and finally, we got these treats from no grainers. which is great because we’re going to need a new, interesting treat for his new training class. i like that these are grain free and easy to break down into smaller pieces, so yay!
also this month’s activity cards said to “relax"; which, in this heat wave, i can guarantee that’s what we’re gonna do.
well, that’s it for july, we can’t wait to see what august’s box brings!

@Bogart, no prob! did you read the serving "suggestions" for the beer? 1/2 bottle for small dogs, a whole bottle for med/large dogs...um, no way!
we have a cute bacon ice cube tray from target, made the cubes in that, machete loved them!

yeah, last month was cute thematically, but kind of a let down. i didn't know what to do with the "beer" until i decided to make ice cubes out of it, as a post-walk treat during hot weather. no toy was a bummer. last month wasn't the greatest, but this month was awesome! oh, last month machete did like those sweet potato chip things.

Rae, I think we were just a month behind you, February. The one we got last month with the dog beer was my least favorite.

@Jen, the bones smell so good! Man, I wish we had a vanilla one!
@Bogart: this was probably our best box ever, and we've been getting them since January. when did you start getting them?

This was our first barkbox and we loved it! We ended up signing up for 6 months! We're excited for our next box

This month's box truly was awesome! The only difference was mine was that Yuki/Ellie's green bone smelled like vanilla rather than peanut butter and their smoothie is banana flavored rather than peanut butter. :) It's going to take us forever to get through all of the treats that arrived!

I agreee! This month was maybe the best one yet. Love the hide a treat bone and the rubber water dish especially.
