January BarkBox

Barkworthies curly bully stick - We're saving this one for a rainy day, but our local pet store has these. I've paid about $4 for them in the past.

3 oz Lamb Toasters from Superior Farms - $7.99

Bailey hasn't tried these yet, but she does love lamb ears, so I'm sure she will love these too. We're saving these for the times she's more distracted since they are such a high value treat. 

6 oz. bag of Peanut Butter flavor yumZies - $7.99

Bailey is a big fan of these. They're the perfect size for training treats. I like to put them in her puzzles.

Jax and Bones, Elton the Octopus - $16

I think this toy is absolutely adorable. It feels very well made and is probably pretty durable if your dog doesn't like to shred everything. They have even cuter ones on their website...so many different animals and other shapes! Kangaroos, turtles, penguins, lobsters, anchors, holiday shapes (the deer is adorable). 

Bailey loves the octopus.

It's great for throwing, but not so great for a heavy chewer. This is Elton after a few minutes of Bailey. Obviously, it was her goal to take ALL of his tentacles off. I think one like the dolphin, without so many pieces sticking out of it would have been better for Bailey. I was able to tie off some of the strings, so he should still last a little while. For this reason, I would not spend $16 on this toy.

The total value of this month's BarkBox is $35.98. Absolutely worth the $10 promotional price we paid for it! Even though the toy is not very long lasting, I still don't think I would have been very upset if I had paid the full $17 for the box. The treats are great, so that more than makes up for it.

Oh, and for a quick update on a previous BarkBox toy...remember the moose from the December box? He's still going strong!

 Still fully intact!

He's only missing a tiny piece of one ear...pretty good for being with Bailey for over a month!
