  • When we talk about durability, we're talking about how long a toy lasts when it encounters a dog. But it gets more complicated from there. One thing we've learned in the 8 years of BARK's existence is that no two dogs and no two dog people think about the durability in the same way.

    One dog's everlasting gobstopper is another dog's popping soap bubble. And even if a toy lasts the same amount of time for two dogs, their humans will have different opinions. "It lasted 30 minutes?! Amazing!" vs "I can't believe it broke after 4 months. Garbage!"

    Our pack has your back...

    We know that every dog is different, which is why every Super Chewer box can be different too. Tell us what your dog likes, dislikes, and LOVES and we'll make sure that their next delivery has the exact right bite.

    You've got an obsessed tennis ball-chaser? We've got super-bouncy fetch toys that go the extra mile. A determined chewer with jaws of steel? Seriously tough nylon toys are in their future. Allergic to yak? We've got your back.

    Super Chewer's support is provided by a team of real humans with Super Chewers of their own we get it. When you call, email, or text us, we'll work to make sure that your dog is getting the most out of their subscription. Send us an email here!

  • For Super Chewer, durability isn't the point: fun is. For some dogs, having fun requires durable toys. We're committed to creating toys that challenge dogs, entertain them, and facilitate wonderful shared adventures with their humans.

    When we start designing a toy for a Super Chewer, we know a few things already: the dog is strong, the dog is determined, and the dog loves to chomp on stuff. And their human is probably looking for something that can withstand their dog's love and affection better than conventional fabric toys.

    So we're looking for materials and shapes that will be robust during play with determined dogs without compromising our commitment to fun.

    The point isn't to make an indestructible toy. If we wanted to make a toy that no dog could ever destroy, we'd just ship a bunch of bricks. But that wouldn't be fun.

    Instead of aiming for "indestructible," we work to create assortments of toys that cover a range of different durabilities (and other characteristics!) so that we can tailor each box to the individual dog's needs. A Super Chewer toy shouldn't last forever. But it should last for as long as your dog wants it to. Because that's fun.

  • Solid nylon is crazy tough, and it's the go-to material for pleasing the strongest and most determined dogs in our pack. When a dog destroys everything, we find that solid nylon offers them the most challenge. It's hard and resilient, but still softer than your dog's teeth (tooth marks are good and normal!) perfect for the dog who likes to really settle in and gnaw on something for a while.

    Because it's so hard, we don't recommend it for vigorous activities, just because tossing a nylon toy is a great way to break your TV (we've learned this the hard way in our own homes). Nylon is pretty darned hard that's why we make toys out of it! and we've noticed that sometimes determined chewers can cause chips or cracks in teeth if the dog doesn't take it easy. We don't want this to happen, so if your dog is especially aggressive while chewing, you'll want to limit how much time they're able to spend with the nylon toys. The nature of solid nylon also requires careful supervision because a very strong dog can break it eventually, causing potentially-sharp fragments and splinters. You really have to work to make it happen, but it's something to watch out for. If these sharp edges and burrs develop on the main body of the toy, you can use sandpaper or a file to smooth them down safely. Discard any piece that your dog breaks off the main body of the toy. Always supervise your dog when they're chewing on anything, including solid nylon toys.

  • We love using rubber to make our toys because it gives us so many ways to change things for different dog needs and play preferences. We can make this rubber bouncier, that rubber harder, this rubber softer to chew, that rubber scented like bacon, and so on! So many possibilities!

    We offer rubbers in a range of durabilities so that all of the dogs in our pack can find their exact right bite. The perfect bouncing ball, the most fun chew toy, and more in every box.

    Our rubber toys come in many different shapes to give dogs variety (which is super important). Depending on how determined your dog is, some shapes will be more or less difficult to break into smaller pieces. Our rubber toys are tough, but intentionally not indestructible, so if you ever see your dog breaking up rubber toys into smaller pieces, it's time to take the toy (or at least those small pieces) away. Always supervise your dog when they're chewing on anything, including rubber toys.

    View Article
  • Rubber foam is one of our favorite materials because it's soft, squishy, and easy to grip while still being resilient to roughhousing, outdoor play, and light chewing. It's light and easy for dogs to carry, and we find that Super Chewers love how they can really sink their teeth into foam rubber toys over and over again.

    Foam rubber isn't always a good fit for certain dogs, especially dogs who enjoy ripping up toys into smaller pieces. While being bouncy and resilient, foam rubber can still be torn up more easily than solid rubber or nylon toys. Foam rubber toys are wonderful for fetch (and dock diving!) but are not the best for dogs who just want to chill and chomp in the living room.

    Always supervise your dog when they're chewing on anything, including foam rubber toys.

    View Article
  • Rope is a classic dog toy material, and the dogs in our pack love playing games of tug-of-war with a good rope toy. A woven rope has excellent tensile strength that's how strong a material is when it's under tension, like during a tug game but isn't indestructible. If your dog likes to gnaw and tear at rope instead of playing games of tug, you might find that rope has a short lifespan. By plucking and tearing away the smaller fibers in the rope, a determined dog can turn a rope toy into a pile of fiber.

    If you know your dog likes to shred rope apart instead of tugging, you can always cut the rope portion off of the larger toy and dispose. Toys with rope in Super Chewer boxes are always intended for active play, not idle chewing, so your dog needs a human involved. It takes two to play tug-of-war, after all.

    View Article
  • When it's time for games of tug-o-war, the pups in our pack love woven nylon straps. We choose these straps for toys for the same reason adventure equipment companies build their backpacks and climbing harnesses around 'em they're light, strong, and long-lived. Woven nylon is resistant to abrasion and also has excellent tensile strength that's how strong a material is when it's under tension, like during a tug game but isn't indestructible.

    If you know your dog likes to shred nylon straps apart instead of tugging, you can always cut the strap portion off of the larger toy and dispose.

  • Our woven fabrics are the toughest textiles for dogs, and the pups in our pack love the texture of fabric over even tougher core materials. All of our fabric toys are fluff-free and lined with tougher materials for reinforcement (think meshes and rubber mats).

    Always supervise your dog when they're chewing on anything, including fabric toys.

    View Article
  • We know that some dogs love ripping apart toys, and we think it's a darned shame for shredding to signal the end of playtime. That's why we make some toys with two layers: a tough-but-tearable fabric cover, and a solid core of rubber or nylon. With these covered toys, your dog's new favorite toy always gets an encore.

    The fabrics we choose for covering are the toughest textiles for dogs, and the pups in our pack love the texture of fabric over even tougher core materials. These tough fabrics are meant for your dog to rip off (if that's their jam), but it is up to humans (that means you!) to safely dispose of this torn-off fabric during play. These tough fabrics are meant for shredding, but terrible for swallowing. Don't let your dog eat them!

  • All of our subscriptions are billed in USD (United States Dollar). You may be seeing the conversion rate on your bill. Additionally, there is a shipping fee & a sales tax for each BarkBox purchased.

    Tax rates in Canada, like the US, vary by location. Taxes are determined by the Providence (State) in which the box is shipping. Some Canadian pack members are only being billed for GST (Goods and Services Tax) that is a flat percentage forallof Canada. Some Providences require additional taxes on top of that GST, which will combine to be an HST (Harmonized Sales Tax).

    If something is not quite right about your bill, please contact our Happy Team at [email protected] to take a further look into your pup's account.

  • Our upfront subscriptions are a great way to save big bucks while spoiling your favorite pup! Since upfront billing is offered after your sign-up is complete, though, billing looks a little different.

    When your pup signs up, that first month is billed immediately, then your pup is offered that upfront deal! If that upfront deal is accepted, you would then see a second charge for the difference!

    For example: If your pup signed up for our BarkBox 12-month subscription at $22/month, and then opted in for the upfront at $224, you would see a $22+tax charge for the first month, and then a prorated charge of $202+tax for the remaining 11 months.
