BarkBox shopping guide: how to save more

Guide last reviewed: September 2026

How to save at BarkBox: the smartest ways

1. Choose a 6 or 12-month plan. As of September 2026, these longer plans unlock the new-subscriber offer of a free extra toy in every box for a year.
2. Pick the right box for your dog. Classic BarkBox has plush, squeaky toys, while Super Chewer has extra-tough toys for power chewers. The right box means toys last longer and you are not replacing them.
3. Count on free subscription shipping. BARK says shipping is always on them for subscription boxes, so the price you see is what you pay before tax.
4. Bundle shop orders to $35. One-off shop orders ship free once they pass $35 before tax and after discounts, so combine toy and treat purchases.
5. Refer friends. The referral program gives your friend $20 and gets you $50, which can cover a good part of a future box.
6. Use subscriber add-on rewards. BARK has offered tiered add-on rewards where spending on add-ons for an upcoming box unlocks free mystery treats and toys.
7. Watch themed shop sales. BARK regularly runs collection sales, such as holiday, winter and game-day toy collections, with percentage-off promotions for a limited time.
8. Turn off auto-renew if you only want one term. You can disable auto-renewal of a multi-month plan from your account dashboard at any time to avoid an unexpected renewal charge.

Shipping & delivery options

As of September 2026, BARK ships to the 48 contiguous US states via Amazon Shipping. Alaska, Hawaii and Canada are not currently served. Deliveries to PO boxes use UPS Mail Innovations. Orders typically arrive 5 to 10 business days after they ship.

• Subscription boxes: shipping is free on every BarkBox and Super Chewer box.
• Shop orders: free shipping on orders over $35, based on the pre-tax total after discounts.

Return & exchange policy

BARK does not process returns or exchanges. If your dog does not love something, BARK asks you to connect with its Happy Team so it can make it right and keep your pup happy. For items your dog will not use, BARK suggests sharing them with other pets or donating them to a local shelter. Check the refunds policy on the BARK site for full details before ordering.

Subscription plans & auto-renewal explained

BarkBox offers 1-month, 6-month and 12-month plans. Each box includes toys, all-natural treats and a chew from that month's themed collection, and prices start as low as $24 a month. Super Chewer boxes swap in extra-durable toys. You can customize by dog size (small, medium or large) and by food sensitivities.

• Auto-renewal: some subscriptions auto-renew at the end of their term. You can turn off auto-renewal on a multi-month plan at any time from your account dashboard.
• Cancellation: you can cancel or change your subscription at any time, but cancellation takes effect at the end of your current subscription term. Contact support for early termination requests.
• Billing: you are charged for each delivery unless you choose to pay in advance.

Gifting: BARK sells gift boxes through its online shop, and recipients of a gift subscription can claim it on the BarkBox gift page. A gift plan is a simple way to try BarkBox for a friend without setting up an ongoing subscription. Before you buy, check whether the recipient already has an active subscription, since new-subscriber offers are meant for first-time subscribers. It also helps to confirm the dog's size and chew style so the box is a good fit from the first month.

Student, military, teacher & other discounts

As of September 2026, BARK does not list a student, military or teacher discount on its FAQ page. The best standing savings are the new-subscriber free toy offer on longer plans, free subscription shipping and the referral credit.

Price matching & price adjustments

We could not confirm a price match or price adjustment policy for BarkBox as of September 2026. Compare plan lengths at checkout to see which gives you the best monthly price.

BARK accepts American Express, Apple Pay, Diners Club, Discover, Google Pay, JCB, Maestro, Mastercard, PayPal, Shop Pay, Union Pay, Venmo and Visa. Billing is PCI compliant.

When BarkBox has its biggest sales

• November and December: holiday, winter and gift collections usually see the deepest shop discounts, along with gift subscriptions.
• Late January and early February: game-day toy collections tied to the big game often go on sale.
• Year-round new-subscriber offers: promotions such as a free extra toy in every box are aimed at first-time subscribers.
• Black Friday and Cyber Monday: typically a strong time for subscription and shop deals.

How to use a BarkBox promo code

Choose your box and plan on the BARK site, then enter the code in the discount code field at checkout and make sure the savings show before you pay. Shop codes usually apply only to a named collection and for a limited time. Many BarkBox offers, like the free extra toy, are built into the signup page and need no code. Start from the BarkBox signup page.
