Dog lovers, October is always one of our favorite BarkBox months, and this year’s Halloween BarkBox might just be the best one yet! It’s filled with fun and frightful surprises, and we’re here to tell you all about it with our latest BarkBox review and unboxing.

Each month’s theme is different, and this month the BarkBox theme is Return of the Frankentoys. It’s a spooky assortment of freakishly cute dog toys and tasty treats, because what would Halloween be without some treats!?!

As with each month’s dog subscription box from BarkBox, this one included 2 fun toys inspired by the theme (spoiler alert: this month’s toys are actually 4 toys in all), plus 2 full-size bags of dog treats and a tasty meat chew. You can expect a value of $40-$50 worth of dog toys and treats in each month’s BarkBox, for as low as $21/month including Free US Shipping. Read on to see what we thought of this month’s BarkBox.

Every dog’s BarkBox can be customized for their size and food sensitivities. If you want a deal, use our BarkBox coupon code WOOFWOOFMAMA at BarkBox.com to get a FREE month when you order 1 month or longer.

Daisy gets the large dog box which is shown in our BarkBox reviews, but whatever size your dog is, they will get the same number of toys and treats in appropriate sizes.

Read on for more info and to see what was inside this month’s BarkBox.

October BarkBox Dog Toys

This month, instead of 2 ordinary dog toys, the mad scientists at BarkBox created some Frankentoys! Each one has separate tops and bottoms so that you can mix and match to make your own creature.

  • Ernesto Ballerino ($12 retail value) Part fish and part ballerina.
  • Franken Flossie ($12 retail value) Part bird and part possum

As you can see, they have Velcro so that you can switch up the characters, and Daisy had loads of fun ripping them apart, so they’re really like having 4 toys instead of 2.

Each plush dog toy has crinkle filling and squeaker disk.

October BarkBox Dog Treats

  • Duck Blueberry Franken Snacks Dog Treats ($8 retail value) As with all BarkBox dog treats, these are made in the USA with all-natural ingredients. These are small bites that are great as training treats.
  • Bacon Blackberry Franken Snacks Dog Cookies ($8 retail value) Daisy will always do tricks for bacon treats! These cookies make the perfect snack and the full-size bag is big enough to share with your fellow trick-or-treaters.
  • Plato Pet Treats Thinkers Duck Stick ($3 retail value) One of our favorite treats from one of our favorite brands. Called Thinkers because this dog snack is packed full of DHA and Omega-3 fatty acid famous for its cognitive benefits. This treat is true brain food.

In addition to all the amazing dog toys and treats, BarkBox usually includes some extra bonus items, photo props or other surprises depending on the theme of the month. This month we got 2 extra surprises: Mad Scientist Goggles (great photo prop for Instagram) and some “Candy Bars” (free BarkBox coupons) to share with our dog pals and trick-or-treaters on Halloween!

As usual, this month’s Barkbox also included info with details on the theme and what’s in the box.

Barkbox Cost and Value

By our calculation, this month’s BarkBox had $43 worth of dog toys, treats and chews if you were to purchase them all separately. That’s makes a subscription a real bargain when you consider that plans starts as low as $21/month with free US shipping included.

Our Experience with the Kurgo Lifetime Warranty

October 17, 2019
Some posts may contain affiliate links. Read the full disclosure.

We already knew that Kurgo makes some of the most durable dog accessories around, with a lifetime warranty, and we recently needed to put that guarantee to the test with our Kurgo Wander Hammock Dog Car Seat Cover. This version protects both the back seats as well as the back of the front seats. It also keeps Daisy from poking into the front seats while we are driving.

We’ve had two of these car seat covers, one in each of our cars, for about 6 years. They’ve done their job keeping our car seats clean and have been easy to care for. Usually just a quick vacuum or spot clean has taken care of business, but recently I noticed that the back lining was deteriorating and leaving a flaky mess on the back seats in my car. I’m guessing this was due to the amount of sun and heat that my car gets year-round here in South Florida. We double checked the cover in Woof Woof Papa’s car and it is still in great shape so this may have just been some kind of fluke.

I was disappointed but knew that Kurgo has a lifetime warranty, so I visited their website to see what to do about getting a replacement. Usually, there are all kinds of loopholes and hoops to jump through with company warranties, but Kurgo only required that I fill out a web form, upload photos and details about the purchase location and date, and within 2 days I’d received an email with shipping notification of our free replacement.

There aren’t that many companies out there willing to guarantee their products for life, but we can certainly confirm that the Kurgo Lifetime Warranty is 100% LEGIT.

People have asked me before if Kurgo dog products are worth the extra price. Yes, they are a little more expensive than some other brands, but you get what you pay for. Their products are designed for active dogs, outdoor and travel. And they really stand by their products, so you never have to worry if something goes wrong. I feel even more confident than ever in recommending their products to our fellow dog moms and dads.

Check out the Kurgo shop for dog car seat covers, pet first aid kits, collars, harnesses, dog life jackets, pet travel and more active dog and pet safety products.

Important Note: you can find many Kurgo products for sale on Amazon but make sure that you check that the seller is actually Kurgo Products. My understanding is that the Lifetime Warranty only applies to authorized sellers, so it’s not worth saving a few bucks if you risk voiding the replacement guarantee. Use this link for the official Kurgo Products Page on Amazon.
