BusterBox

What's in the box: A box usually holds a set of toys and healthy treats built around that month's theme.

BusterBox is a monthly dog subscription from BusterBox Ltd that sends a themed mix of toys and treats to homes across the UK and Ireland. Plans start from €29.99 (or £28.99), and shipping is free. Your first box goes out within a few days of signing up, and later boxes ship on the 15th of each month, so you know roughly when to expect them. Each month has a new theme. The company says its treats come from the UK and Ireland, which may appeal to Irish shoppers who want to know where their dog's food comes from. Members also get free access to Vidivet, a 24/7 chat and video vet service staffed by UK based vets. That adds useful value beyond the box itself. The welcome offer is generous: 50% off the first box, plus a free dog bed and a premium toy. The bed and toy only come with multi month plans, not every subscription. BusterBox promises its support team will make things right if your dog is not happy, but it does not spell out what that involves. The site also does not clearly explain how boxes are matched to your dog's size, allergies or chewing strength, or how cancellation works. Check the FAQs before you commit to a longer plan.
