Signing up for a 6- or 12-month plan locks you in for the full term — Bark keeps billing you monthly even if you cancel early, so only commit to the multi-month plan if you're sure, not just chasing the per-box discount.

About BarkBox
BarkBox turned the monthly dog toy box into its own category — a themed box of toys, chews, and treats sized to your dog, with enough personality (puns, mini comics) that people post unboxings just for the packaging. It's since spun off Super Chewer for aggressive chewers, with BarkBox now one line under Bark's umbrella.
The subscription structure is the thing to watch: sign up for 6 or 12 months and you're locked into paying it out even if you cancel early, since Bark bills monthly through the full commitment. There's no cash refund on products either — busted or missing items get replaced or credited, not refunded, so factor that in before committing to a longer plan.
What they sell
- Monthly themed toy, chew, and treat boxes sized for your dog
