Treating my Pups with PetBox -- PetBox Review

I have brought you  few posts about why I love my dogs and how I give them extras to show them how much I love them, but I haven't brought you a subscription box just for pets!  You may have heard of PetBox.  Lilly and Danny are loving their box, so keep reading to learn more!

What sets PetBox apart is that the member—not PetBox—chooses the items that go in their monthly box. During sign up, members fill out a pet profile that is designed to help the consumer shop for products that are tailored to the needs of their dog or cat. Members also have the option to be “surprised” each month with a curated collection of tailored products chosen by the PetBox team.



Our PetBox came with six products in it!  Six products both of my dogs completely love! We got the Aussie Ear, glow for skin & coat, bistro bites peanut butter & applesauce healthy treats, The Honest Kitchen's scrumptious quickies Sweetheart treats, TropiClean Clean Teeth Gel, and the FURminator.  



The hygiene product that came in our box was TropiClean Clean Teeth Gel.  The TropiClean is a product that I will be able to use for a while.  My dog's teeth are overall pretty clean, but of course they need a little attention.  The TropiClean smells great!  When I put it in Danny's mouth, my poor doggy just licks and licks and licks!  He was going crazy!  I couldn't get close enough to his mouth with a camera, so you'll have to trust me when I say his mouth seems a tad cleaner already!

My favorite product from the box is the FURminator!  This deShedding tool is made for long haired dogs and claims to reduce shedding up to 90%.  This is a big deal for me and anyone who has come into my home as you are bound to leave with white dog hair on you, no matter what.  You stand, its going to be on you.  You sit, well... Of course its going to be on you.  With the FURminator, I can brush Danny and keep this problem under wraps!  I love this tool!  It works so well!  Not only does it get the hairs that are about to fall off, but it has a button that releases the hair.  No scratching my hand while trying to clean it out!  This really is a great product.  

Before we talk about the treats, take a look at Ally working with our dogs a little, giving each treat!  They love her and she loves them.  Great match!



The four kinds of treats that came to the dogs were really great.  Overall both dogs enjoyed the glow skin & coat treat.  These treats  are made from fresh eggs to provide the highest quality bioavailable protein, including the calcium rich shell.  The scent isn't too bad, and you can tell they are made from eggs!  Next up, we had the bistro bites peanut butter & applesauce treats.  These treats a pretty small, of course they are "Healthy treats for small dogs."   As both Lilly and Danny are rather large, these are great for training purposes.  We do a lot of regular tricks like sit, shake, high five, but we are trying to get to the harder ones. These are perfect for that.  The SCRUMPTIOUS quickies Sweetheart treats are a small treat as well. Quickies are in a heart form and made of dehydrated Haddock.  You can for sure smell the Haddock when you open the canister!  My dogs have been going crazy around this little tube since I removed it from the mail!  



Last I want to tell you about the Aussie Naturals Aussie Ear.  It is 100% Natural Water Buffalo.  I liked how big this was.  As I have 2 dogs, I was able to bend it (after a little hard work) and then cut it in half.  A little work for me, but both dogs are happy.  They love to chew!

I feel like PetBox knew exactly what we needed.  These products are perfect for my pups and perfect for my home.  To check out more on PetBox, take a look at their website and make your furbabies happy!

  1. I think this is so cool and I should totally get one for my Milo. He is still newish (we just got him in December), so we are still trying to figure out what he likes, etc. This box has so much in it & I love that.

  6. I really like that you get to choose the items yourself. I can't tell you how many times I've gotten something in the mail that had items in it I knew I would never use and a few times I had trouble finding anyone who could. That made me feel like the company was just pawning off junk no one wanted on me. That's not a good thing ever.

  13. How very clever. I like that the member gets to choose. I hate it when companies chose for me. Why should I pay for an item I will never use?

  14. My dogs would love this, they have been in so much trouble since we moved. They are getting into everything and waiting everything. I need to find their treats or go buy new ones as they are just plain bored while we get settled.

  15. I love that this pet box comes with an assortment of pet friendly products. It's important to pamper our pets too.

  16. I have been wanting to get this for my dogs. I think it would be great to test out some treats and see what they really want and what is out there. Sometimes you get stuck in a rut when buying pet food and treats and our furry friends deserve a little change and excitement in their life too. ;)

  21. The deshedding tool is something I would be interested in for my pup Chispas. Between him, my boyfriend and my own hair, we have hair balls galore!! Love the box and the idea and Chispas' fave things are also sleeping and getting treats. (That and he likes to roll around in the grass) :)

  30. I tried one of these dog boxes before but my dog hated everything in there. This sounds like a better one than I tried before though but I'll have to pass. My doggie is too picky. :)
