We are kicking off the Monthly Treat Box Challenge with the February Woof Box.
About Woof Box
Woof Box offer "A monthly box of top quality goods for your dog - delivered to your door". They promise that every month you will receive a box with between 4-6 high quality items from a range of different areas, like treats, toys, and hygiene.
Woof Box allow you to customize your box, based on your dog's weight, and their likes and dislikes, so if your dog dislikes chew toys, remove them from the rotation. For Pixel, we opted for their standard random box.
Contents
- Gor Hugs Bunch Family toy
- Burns Gluten Free Chicken and Rice Sticks (4 Sticks)
- Pet Munchies Chicken Strips (100g)
- Hollings Beef Curls (100g)
- Good Life Gear Pet Drinking Bottle
Quantity
We received 5 products in the February Woof Box, a toy, three bags of treats, and a water bottle. The toy was relatively small, and the treats were all in 100g packs. It was clear that the Good Life Gear Pet Drinking Bottle was supposed to make up the bulk of the order, and I can't help but feel that the toy and the treats suffered as a result of this. That said, extra toys are always nice, and 300g worth of treats will last us a while, and we do like the pet drinking bottle.
Quantity: 3/5
Quality
Everything contained within the box comes from well-known brands that you might find in any local pet store (in fact, we regularly see Burns, Pet Munchies, and Gor in our local shops).
The treats are exactly what you would expect them to be, decent quality products, high in protean, and relatively healthy. The Pet Munchies Chicken Strips came in a resealable bag for extra freshness, while the Burns Gluten Free Chicken and Rice Sticks came in what feels like very cheap packaging.
The Gor Hugs Bunch Family toy is of average quality. It is made well enough that it should withstand most dogs so long as they are not particularly destructive in regards to their toys. We received a bright yellow elephant that Pixel has moderate interest in. Again there is nothing exceptional about the toy.
The Good Life Gear Pet Drinking Bottle is where this box shines. It is the highest quality product in the box, and also the one that excited me the most. The main bulk of the bottle is made of metal, while the top is made of plastic. It came with a carabiner clip for easy attachment to your bag. The bottle feels like it made to last both long mountain walks and trips in the car.
Variety
The lack of variety in this box is what really lets this Woof Box down. We received three packs of treats, two of these were variations on chicken sticks, and all three treats were simply jerky-like dried meats. There was nothing that really made these treats stand apart from each other. Pixel does like these treats, but we like to vary the treats he received and there is just no way to do that with what we received in this box.
Variety: 1/5
Value
We purchased the One Month subscription that cost us £21.99. If you purchased a longer subscription (3-months £18.99, 6-months £17.99), this box does offer good value for money. We did some quick maths and determined that this box would have cost us around £25 depending on where you bought the individual items.
The bulk of the box was made up of low cost treats, while the Good Life Gear Pet Drinking Bottle would set you back £12.99.
Value: 3/5
Satisfaction
Ultimately I was left unsatisfied with the February Woof Box. On their website they talk about how they source their treats from smaller suppliers that focus on natural ingredients but what we received was a box of average, mass produced treats. The example box they show on their website was of much higher quality than the one we received, and I walked away from the whole experience disappointed with the majority of what we got.
Even if we were not undertaking the Monthly Treat Box Challenge, I would have cancelled my subscription and looked for another supplier based on the box I received.
Satisfaction: 1/5
Woof Box received a total of 2.2 Barks out of 5.
