Samsung SmartCam HD Pro Review #SmartCamWoof #Giveaway

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

Pet parents know that the fur kids are part of the family, so when you’re at work or away and they’re home alone, you naturally want to check up on them. We’ve been testing out the Samsung SmartCam HD Pro, which allows pets and their people to stay connected.

It’s got super easy setup and a free app for Android or iOS, that lets you monitor your home and pets from any location. Advanced features for keeping an eye on your furry friends include 128 degree ultra-wide angle security coverage, 1080p full HD live video streaming, advanced motion detection, night vision and more.

With all these features, Samsung has really covered what most people need in a home WiFi camera. The price is nice, at $159, with lots of customer reviews and ratings at both BestBuy.com and Amazon. We love the two-way talk feature, although Daisy hasn’t figured out how to talk back yet! You can also use it to check-in with your human kiddos after school.

Everything you need is in the box, and I was able to get the camera up and running in about 10 minutes (it did a software security update once I connected it to WiFi). If you want, you can also get a 64GB Micro SD Memory Card which will allow you to record your video locally for long-term storage. You do need to have an existing home WiFi network set up already, which I’m guessing most of you do.

The SmartCam HD Pro also works with Samsung SmartThings and with other devices including the Amazon Echo. We got ourselves an Echo for Christmas and are loving it, but haven’t utilized it’s full capabilities yet. Anyway, here’s what’s in the box…totally not scary, and super easy to run the wireless setup using the app and your smartphone!

BarkBox Review + Coupon: Small Dog Subscription Box January 2017

As we’ve mentioned before, Daisy has been a long-time subscriber to BarkBox and she gets the Large Dog subscription Box. Many of you have said you’d like it if we could also show everybody what’s inside the Small Dog Box, and we think that’s a great idea!

We’ve arranged to have the Small Dog BarkBox sent to us so that we can compare and help out our little fur kid pals…hopefully once your parents see how great the Small Dog toys and treats are, they will be ready to get YOU your own BarkBox, too! Be sure to see the end of this post for a FREE BarkBox coupon just for our readers. Whatever your size, every dog deserves a BarkBox of toys, treats and surprises!

January Small Dog BarkBox
Each month, BarkBox sends subscribers a delivery of hand-picked toys, treats and other dog goodies, all based on a cute and clever theme. The January theme is all about travel. Here’s what was in the January Small Dog BarkBox we received. Keep in mind that your BarkBox will be customized for your dog’s size and allergies so items may vary:

As you can see, this month’s Small Dog BarkBox is a great value! With subscriptions starting at $21 per month for all size dogs, it’s a great way to discover new dog toys, treats and goodies without spending full retail store prices.

In addition to being a great value, we also love how the toys and treats are customized especially for Small, Medium and Large dogs. The treats are a more manageable size for smaller dogs (although we always break out treats into little pieces anyway). And the toys are sized appropriately for little dogs, but still made to be fun and durable because small dogs play hard, too!

Here’s a photo so you can compare the difference in size. The Orbee Globe Ball Dog Toy on the left is the SMALL and the one on the right is the LARGE. The larger one is at least 2 years old and still in great shape even though Daisy plays with it frequently, so you can also see what great quality the BarkBox toy selections are!

BarkBox Coupon Code: WOOFWOOFMAMA gets you a FREE BarkBox added to any plan! Choose 1 month, 6 or 12 months and customize a plan for your dog’s size and allergies and your dog will get a monthly box of fun and surprises. Visit BarkBox HERE to learn more and get started.

BarkBox Review + Coupon: Large Dog Subscription Box January 2017

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

If one of your New Year’s resolutions was to travel more, then get ready to pack your bags. The January BarkBox theme is ‘Pup In The Air’ and is all about traveling, with trip-related goodies…including your pup’s very own passport!

BarkBox is the number 1 subscription box service for dogs, and Daisy’s been getting the monthly Large Dog BarkBox for several years now.  Each month we show you what toys and treats are inside that month’s BarkBox, and how the total value of the individual items compares to the price of a monthly subscription. If you’ve got a Small Dog, stay tuned because we’ll be reviewing the BarkBox for small dogs this month, too! Remember that each BarkBox subscription is customized for your dog’s size and allergies, so individual items will vary.

Here’s what was in Daisy’s Large Dog BarkBox for January 2017:

Hundur’s Crunch Fish Treats for Dogs ($7 retail value): These are from our pals at Plato Pet Treats and are sustainably sourced from cold, clean Icelandic waters. 100% natural and made with only two ingredients: Cod skin and Golden Redfish skin. Daisy LOVES anything fishy, so these are a BIG hit. A taste of Iceland without the jetlag!

Snack Rings with Lamb & Cheddar Dog Treats ($6 retail value): Speaking of jets, these American-made dog treats are fit for First Class! All-natural chewy bites will keep your dog happy whether you’re taking a road trip or having a stay-cation at home.

Crunchy Duck Chew for Dogs ($3 retail value): From the fine folks at Etta Says! and one of Daisy’s favorite chew treats. We never mind getting a repeat of this item. American made and great for teeth, gums and happiness.

Large Duffel Bag Dog Toy ($12 retail value): This duffel bag’s got everything your dog needs for an adventure: a tough nylon shell, fun thrashin’ straps, and two surprises packed inside. Meet your dog’s new favorite carry-on. Even if the duffel bag gets destroyed (TSA is BRUTAL), your dog keeps the good times growling with two tennis balls inside. Three toys in one!

Ripley’s Runaway Rucksack Dog Toy ($10 retail value): This super cute squeaky dog toy is fun to throw and fetch. When Daisy carries it around in her mouth, it looks like she’s packed up her belongings and is ready to run away to grandma’s house!

By our calculation, this month’s BarkBox had $38 worth of toys and treats. A great value when you consider that subscription prices start at $21/month.

Even better, get a FREE BARKBOX added to any plan with coupon code WOOFWOOFMAMA when you order a 1, 6, or 12-month BarkBox subscription using this link.

BarkBox Review + Free Box Coupon: November is Home for the Holidays

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

november-barkbox-review-coupon

Daisy just opened her November BarkBox and it’s full of Thanksgiving cheer! We’ll show and tell you what’s inside this month’s BarkBox, but first an intro to anyone who is new here or maybe just hasn’t heard about BarkBox yet.

BarkBox is the most popular subscription box service for dogs of all sizes from Tiny dogs to Extra Large dogs. You choose your plan length or feel free to go monthly, and cancel when you wish.

Each month your dog receives a delivery of goodies including toys, treats and other fun surprises. The BarkBox is usually based on a clever theme with super creative dog toys and tasty treats that can’t be found at your regular pet store.

Each box includes 4-6 items, usually with 3 treats and 2 toys, but box items will vary because they are always customized for each dog’s size and allergies. It can also be customized with items especially for heavy chewers. (NOT to be confused with the new Super Chewer BarkBox for Dogs)

BarkBox subscription plans start as low as $20/month including FREE Shipping.

To see past BarkBox photos, read our reviews, and get an idea of how cute and creative each month’s theme is, visit our BarkBox Page.

November BarkBox: Home for the Holidays

The theme of the November BarkBox is Thanksgiving and Home for the Holidays and we are pleased as pie! Speaking of pie, one of the 2 toys in this month’s box is a slice of pumpkin pie! The other is a ‘Lick the Chef’ apron toy. The pie has 2 squeakers, one giant one for the slice, and one tiny one for the whipped cream on top. The apron is also a squeaky toy but with a rope for tugging as well.

barkbox-thanksgiving-toys

Because Thanksgiving is all about noms, there were 3 treats included: a 12-inch Lamb Chew, a bag of Pumpkin Cheese Yums and a bag of Salmon Droolers. These treats are all full-size and made in the USA. They’re also wheat-free with no corn or soy. The folks at BarkBox are super careful and particular about the treats they pick, and you can email them if you need help customizing your box for your dog’s food sensitivities or allergies.
