These Matching Pool Floats for You and Your Dog Take Summer to a Whole New Level!

Living in South Florida, I really didn’t think I could get very excited about a new pool or beach accessory because I thought I’d seen them all (giant rainbow unicorn swans, I’m looking at you), but then came the launch of this Funboy x Bark collaboration and I have found new #LifeGoals!

Funboy is the creator of some of the hottest and most Instagram-worthy pool floats around now you AND your dog can live the luxe life, with your choice of matching luxury white yachts or pink retro convertible floats for the pool or beach.

These are a new offering over at the BarkShop and are sure to sell out quickly. I’d received the press release only a few days ago and already the buzz across the web has reached epic proportion, being featured by People, Mashable, PopSugar, Bustle and more.

In addition to the cool-factor, these floats are also designed with your dog in minds. They are made of thick and sturdy puncture resistant plastic and hold up to 70lbs. The matching human float holds up to 250lbs with room for two.

 

One of our favorite things about the dog floats is the reinforced compartment for treats or toys. The human version has two cup holders and a spot for your cooler, sunscreen and more.

BarkBox Review + Coupon: A Pirate’s Tail

Some posts may contain affiliate links. Read the full disclosure.

Dog lovers, I know I’ve said it before but this month’s BarkBox is SO adorable…I don’t know how they keep outdoing themselves! Looking back at all the great BarkBoxes we’ve received, it’s no wonder BarkBox is still the most popular dog subscription box services around, and one of our favorite things.

In case you hadn’t heard, each month your BarkBox delivery is customized for your dog’s size as well as any food allergies, and shipping is free in the US.

Every month’s BarkBox has an original theme with 2 cute dog toys and 2 full-size bags of tasty dog treats and 1 yummy chew.

Note that this is the Classic BarkBox edition which usually includes plush toys. If your dog is a real toy destroyer then check out the BarkBox Super Chewer edition instead.

The April BarkBox theme was BarkBeard’s Treasure: A Pirate’s Tail.

In addition to the usual number of toys and treats, this box came with a surprise bonus bandana that has us singing “Yo Ho, Ho! A pirate’s life for me!”

Here’s a look at what was in the April 2018 Classic BarkBox along with the retail values of each item if purchased separately:

April BarkBox Dog Toys

Redbird the Parrot Dog Toy ($12 retail value) This funny fellow is fuzzy on the outside with a giant squeaker for a body plus crinkle material in his wings. Daisy always goes crazy for these kind of toys that make fun noises and are large enough to stomp on and carry around.

Ahoy Matey Bottle Dot Toy ($10 retail value) Another BarkBox original that is super cute and creative; a message in a bottle! It’s a plush tug toy with a stretchy t-shirt rope and a squeaky bottle for its core. Rope toys are great for playing tug and for flinging across the room for an indoor game of fetch!

April BarkBox Bonus Item

BarkBeard’s Bandana ($4 retail value) I’m making my best guess on the retail value since this limited edition dog scarf isn’t available for purchase separately as far as I can tell. It’s the perfect addition to this pirate-themed box of booty!

April BarkBox Dog Treats (All Made in the USA)

Lamb Ho Dog Treats ($8 retail value) These allergy-friendly dog treats are made with real lamb along with some sweet potato, coconut and a few other natural ingredients. They are skinny sticks, which is nice for a change of shape from the usual round dog cookies. They have some bite but are soft enough to break into smaller pieces which I do when I need a pocket full of training treats!

Fish ‘n’ Chips Medley Dog Treats ($8 retail value) Freeze-dried whitefish chunks along with some tasty salmon biscuits. These are wheat-free like almost all of the BarkBox treats we receive, but do contain barley.

10″ Liver Chew ($4 retail value) This all-beef stick is from Etta Says!, one of our favorite pet brands. It’s thicker than some of the other crunchy sticks they make, but I was still able to break off pieces for portion control, which I always try to do.

BarkBox Guarantee

One of the great things about BarkBox is their customer service and mission to make every dog a happy dog. As a BarkBox customer, if you ever receive a toy or treat that doesn’t meet your standards, or that your dog just isn’t crazy about, you can contact BarkBox and they will send a free replacement. It’s part of their Scout’s Honor satisfaction guarantee, and we couldn’t be more satisfied with the service we’ve received in the 6 or so years we’ve been subscribers!

BarkBox Cost and Value

By our calculation, this month’s BarkBox had $46 worth of dog toys and  treats if you were to purchase them all separately.

That’s a great value when you consider that subscription prices start at $21/month with free US shipping. In addition to saving money, we also love the WOW-factor and excitement of getting a new delivery of surprises each month. It’s a chance to discover new dog treats and toys that we might not have known about otherwise.

We’re back with a new BarkBox review! If you’re wondering what BarkBox is all about, it’s the most popular dog subscription box services around, and one of our favorite things. Each BarkBox is customized for your dog’s size as well as any food allergies, and shipping is free in the US and Canada. Every month’s BarkBox has an original theme with 2 cute toys and 3 tasty treats.

If you’re already familiar and just looking for a coupon, you can get a FREE extra month added to any order of 1-month or more when you use BarkBox coupon code WOOFWOOFMAMA at BarkBox.com. Or read on to learn more!

Note that this is the Classic BarkBox edition which usually includes plush toys. If your dog is a real toy destroyer then check out the BarkBox Super Chewer edition instead.

The March BarkBox theme was The Academy of Fine Arfs and truly ia a work of art! In addition to the tasty treats, there’s something extra special about one of the toys, that Daisy can really relate to. Keep reading to find out what it is, if you haven’t guessed already!

Here’s a look at what was in the March 2018 Classic BarkBox along with the retail values of each item if purchased separately:

March BarkBox Dog Toys

Paint Tube Tug Dog Toy ($12 retail value) This cute dog toy is filled with fluff and topped with t-shirt rope making it perfect for a game of tug.  It also has a grunt squeaker inside, making it extra artsy fartsy!

Vincent Van Squirrel Dog Toy ($16 retail value) This is a toy designed for heavy chewers, which is a FREE toy upgrade BarkBox will give you if you let them know you like the classic box but need a bit stronger toys for your dog. We think its EXTRA special because like Vincent, Daisy only has one ear! Now all she needs is her own paintbrush.

 

 

March BarkBox Dog Treats

Painter’s Pallet Treats ($8 retail value) Pork, blueberries and carrots make these treats colorfully delicious. You can actually see the little flecks of fruit and veggie in these crunchy dog treats.

Starry Bites Dog Treats ($8 retail value) These all-natural dog treats are made in the USA with chicken as the number one ingredient.

Woof Stix 2-Pack ($7 retail value) These all beef dog chew sticks are 11 inches each and can be easily broken into smaller pieces. Even though Daisy would LOVE to eat the whole thing at once, we always break off smaller pieces with meat chews like this. Not only does it make them last days longer, but I feel that moderation is best when it comes to these ultra meaty treats!
