Pawbox Pet Product Review



https://www.pawbox.com

A new subscription service will send pet product samples to you in the mail.  The service is called, “Pawbox.”

The concept is simple but awesome.  Once a month Pawbox will send a package to you.  The package will include five pet product samples for you and your pet to try.



The box we sampled included a “Slurpabowl,” an origami-ish, recycleable food or water dish, Harvest Blends sweet potato treats, Himalayan Dog Chews, and two nutritional supplements.  One supplement was called Missing Link, a product that will deliver nutrients similar to what a raw diet might provide.  


The other supplement, Healthy Motion, is a certified organic glucosamine product that will protect your pet’s joints from stress and injury. Before I get too into any sort of review, I do have to shout out that Himalayan Dog Chews is a Washington-state-based company, located about 45 minutes north of my home.  Go, Washington!  It’s also a great product that we have sampled before at pet fairs and expos in my home area.  

Lifting off the top of the box, I found wonderful paw-print tissue paper covering the surprises inside.  I was immediately intrigued by the Slurpabowl.  My dogs could have cared less, but the origami-esc Slurpabowl was the most like a toy and demanded to be played with first.   It was also like serving the dogs from a new plate or dish, giving our little event a sort of cocktail-party elegance that is rarely present when feeding or playing with our dogs.




The Harvest Blend treats were opened next.  With treats in hand, our dogs were enticed to do some tricks.  They scarfed those treats down fast.

The supplements were saved for later.  Our younger dog, Zoozoo, is a performing canine disc dog.  I’ll be interested in seeing how she responds to Missing Link.  If I see any improvement in her drive or energy, you can bet I’ll buy more.  Our other dog, Blue, is almost 14 years old.  He might benefit from Healthy Motion and the glucosamine it contains.

My only complaint would be that there was no toy in the happy meal.  Treats are always awesome.  Vitamins are good for you.  But my dogs think toys are the most fun to play with.  

At every pet expo I have been to (and I have been to quite a few), almost every exhibitor has samples to try.  It’s sort of an expected thing in the pet industry, that the samples will be available.  It’s cool that Pawbox has entered the ring to connect products to consumers.
