We got the Bark and Bunnies Love Them Happy Classic Box at the end of February, for the reasonable price of £16.99.
The box contained a number of interesting and fun items. Firstly it contained a Fat Cat Mini Gruntleys pig toy, which on its own typically retails at £7.99. This tough and fun toy has become a favourite of Pixel's and he loves the grunting sound it makes when he chews it. In the box there was also another toy, a pack of Kong Sports Balls which we are forever finding under our feet. We also received 60g box of Lily's Kitchen Breakfast Crunch and a 60g bag of natures:menu Treats with Lamb. I am sure that many of you know that Lily's Kitchen make fantastic, and high quality pet foods, and the natures:menu treats are deliciously meaty. To finish of the box, we also received
a bar of pure nuff stuff dogsbody soap, a fantastic dog soap that leaves Pixel's coat in an amazing condition and him smelling lovely. The whole box was topped off with a short hand-written note to Pixel that made the box feel extra-special. Everything was sent to us in a forage box, a cardboard box that will filled with straw, so your dog has to search to find his presents. Once we had removed all the goodies from out box, we gave it to our bunnies who absolutely loved it.
Quantity
For £16.99 we received a total of five items. For the type of items that they were, it is about what you would expect for the money. They were all good brands that we would happily buy ourselves.
Quantity: 4/5
Quality
Every item in the box is of high quality. The Fat Cat Mini Gruntley toy is extremely well made and durable, the Lily's Kitchen and nature:menu treats are high quality products made from good ingredients, and while I do not have much experience with dog soaps, I cannot fault the pure nuff stuff dogsbody soap. For £16.99 I cannot complain of the quality of this box.
Quality: 4/5
Variety
This box was made up with five products, two treats, two toys and one bar of soap. A pretty diverse mix when it comes to what you can send out in a dog box. Of the treats, one of them is a pack of crunchy kibble treats, while the others were soft, chewy and very meaty.
Variety: 4/5
Value
The products we received retail roughly around the following prices:
- Fat Cat Mini Gruntleys toy: £7.99
- Lily's Kitchen Breakfast Crunch: £1.59
- natures:menus Treats with Lamb: £1.79
- pure nuff stuff dogsbody soap: £3.50
- Kong Sports Balls: £4.20
In total that would bring all the products to £19.07. However you look at it, that is pretty good value for money. The box contained useful and fun items, and everything in it we have used!
Value: 4/5
Satisfaction
Overall I think Pixel and I were very satisfied with this treat box. The items were interesting and of high quality. The fact that everything comes in a forage box is amazing, and the presence of a hand-written note does improve my satisfaction with the whole thing.
Satisfaction: 4/5
If Pixel and I were not undertaking the Monthly Treat Box Challenge, we might have settled on Barks and Bunnies as out monthly source of treat box fun. I am certain that once we have finished the challenge, we will be ordering from them again.
Hi guys, we have sent you a message on Twitter but we are so sorry, when packing this up it looks like I forgot to put one of the items into the box. There should have been a fifth item, a toy, which would have taken you well over the £16.99, we certainly ALWAYS make sure our gift boxes contain over the value you paid so this is definitely a mistake. We will wait to hear from you on twitter but please accept my apologies, I try to make every box unique and it looks like I picked everything and noted what we sent you but that I didn't pack all the items for some silly reason! We will get this fixed for Pixel :-)
