@getbarkbox April awesome edition

Our Barkbox arrived on the last day of the month so we are posting April’s box in May.

Nonetheless it was well worth the wait because it was super awesome and filed with LOTS & LOTS of goodies.

First up was Etta Says! Duck Chew & Duck Jerky, Chino being the carnivore he is absolutely loved the chew, I have not gotten to giving him the jerky just yet but the chew was a big hit as it was similar to a bully stick which is his favourite thing ever!

We also received a Barkworthies stuffed shin bone. Chino has not had the pleasure to eat this yet. I am saving it for when I have lots of emails and bookkeeping work to do so that he is entertained while he gets ignored for a couple of hours. It stuffed with beef and rice and looks as though we can refill it again once it has been cleaned.

 Aussie Naturals ABO Gear Groom Mitt is the item I got most excited about in this month’s box. Chino is always rolling around in anything he can fin and comes home completely covered and a tinge of brown. I love that these are portable and fit over my hand.

Chip Truck Dates & Location!

As some of you  may or may not have heard. Toronto Animal Services has been offering microchipping and licensing through a mobile truck with no appointments needed. This is a great one stop shop to have your pet licensed with the city as well as microchipped at a low price. Providing you with piece of mind if your dog is ever lost, microchips allow your dog’s chip to be scanned and all your information to be located so that your dog can come home safe and sound. Cat’s can get licensed and chipped too!

When:

Saturday April 20th

Time: 11:00 am to 2:00pm

Where:

95 Fort York Blvd. Canoe Landing Park

Price: Licence & Microchip $25. Microchip only $10 (proof of pet licence required)

Stay tuned for more chip truck dates!

@getbarkbox March awesomeness!

Our Barkbox got lost in mail land last month but not to worry. The March Barkbox arrived all in one piece and full of awesome goodies for the spoiled boy. This month we got some super awesome things. I know normally the best is saved for last but this time I will be putting the best item first!

1. Lollycadoodle Wool Mouse

Now I am not sure what it is about wool toys but Chino absolutely loves them. Although he destroys them to bits within the first 5 minutes he still finds enjoyment in them even after their all ripped apart. This is never the case with any other toys, once they’ve been ripped up he is pretty much over it! Not with his woolies though

2. Harry Barker’s Hemp Bone – now we all know hemp is great for our dogs and their teeth but most importantly I LOVE Harry Barker dog stuff, I will go all over the city looking for specific Harry Barker items.

3. Feel Good Treats & Little Eatz Peanut Butter Cookies – lately Chino has become quiet the diva about his treats and is all about the meaty stuff (such a boy!) so I did not bother trying to get him to try out the treats but instead shared them with his buddies who seemed to love it and give him lots of kisses for it too! Feel Good Treats are great because they do not have wheat, corn or soy which sometimes upset tummies and Little Eatz was pretty awesome because you can eat them too!
