June and July Barkbox

I didn't get a chance to write about Barkbox last month, and I had this months waiting for me when I got home from holidays so I'm going to do both together here.

June's barkbox had 4 items, two toys and two bags of treats. The card in the box this month had something new where it shows the price of the items and a code you can text to them if you want to buy another one. I'm not sure how this would work for me being in Canada since all these items tend to cost a little more in our stores, but it's exciting because there are some items that my dog really enjoys that are difficult for me to find even though I live in Toronto. 
The first toy that he got that he lovess is called R2P Monkey Silly Bums which is basically a monkey with a pink bum with no arms or head. This item it worth $10.00 on the card. My dog loves this toy, it makes noises and it's strong material and he hasn't been able to rip it apart yet.
The second toy is a Benebone Nylon Chew which is infused with bacon and is three prongs. My dog chews bones a lot and this one has gotten a lot of use so far, he loves bacon and he's able to hold onto it very well with the three prongs. This item is worth $12.00 on the card.
The first bag of treats are Green Bark Gummies Hip and Joint Treats. This bag is worth $10.00. We haven't opened these yet because we still have a large bag full of bags of treats from Woofstock and a few from previous months of Barkbox, but these look like something he will enjoy.
The other bag of treats are Benny Bully's Beef Liver and Banana Treats. This bag is worth $8.00. Banana is one of his favourite flavours so we brought this bag with us on vacation and he loved them. They are very large and seem very healthy.
The total value of this box is $40.00 according to what they have on the card, but if I were to buy them here in Canada it would be higher plus taxes.

The July barkbox had five items again, but I guess they forgot to give me a card.
This one only had one toy and four food items. The toys are such a good quality that they are all over my apartment which is great since he normally destroys toys so quickly. The toy in this box is another item from the Loopies brand, this one is called a Floppy Fishbone. I was unable to find this for sale anywhere online, only the cat version but this toys usually run around $20-$30.
This box got another Cool Treats Smoothie, this time in the flavour Pina Colada. We still haven't given him the last one since it hasn't been crazy hot yet but he likes ice cubes a lot so I'm sure he will enjoy these when we finally give them to him. These are worth around $6.00 if bought individually.
The one package that we have opened is Healthy Dogma Coconut Flavour Barkers. These smell amazing and are pretty large biscuits and my dog seems to like them. This package is worth $7.95.
Another bag of treats is called Bixbi Chicken Breast Jerky Treats. These looks like they are large in the bag and is a pretty big bag. This is worth $9.99.
The last item is a stick and is called Etta Says Crunchy Duck Chews. I don't think he has had anything duck yet, but he is obviously not a picky dog so I'm sure he'll eat it. This is worth $6.99.
The total value of this box is $50-$60. This is a great value for what I end up paying per box.
