Our #1 pick
BULLYMAKE
Every pet parent wants the same thing: a close bond with their dog. But building that relationship takes more than just standard walks and kibble. Playtime is where you switch from basic caretaker to your dog's best friend.
It's no wonder dog subscription boxes are exploding. Getting a curated mix of novel toys and healthy treats delivered straight to your door keeps your pup's world engaging. Plus, that monthly box becomes a shared ritual you both look forward to, not to mention a critical line of defense against the boredom-based destruction of your living room.

Top Dog Box 2026
BULLYMAKE
The toughest all-around chew toy for power chewers.
We chose BULLYMAKE as our top subscription box for one reason: it's the best for dogs who love to chew, period. While other toys break or shred in minutes (and my dog never touches it again), BULLYMAKE toys are truly built to outlast all jaws.
They have 5 different types of toy material to satisfy every dog, from gentler players to the most aggressive chewers out there. The diversity in materials—all made to withstand the harshest bites—kept my dog entertained far better than every other box we tested.
What we liked
- Materials and durability are unmatched. The rubber and nylon toys outlasted everything else we tested, even with an 80-pound Cane Corso working them over for months.
- The BULLYMAKE replacement guarantee is real. When a toy finally cracked, they sent a free replacement, no questions asked.
- You get more toys and treats per box than competitors at a similar $29 price point.
What we didn't
- Slightly less customizable than other boxes. You can flag preferences and allergies, but you don't get the same hand-picking options for individual items that a few other brands offer.
"My dog is a destroyer of toys. Other boxes just weren't doing it so we tried BULLYMAKE. My dog LOVES the toys."
Also great
Four more boxes worth trying.
BULLYMAKE was our clear winner, but these four runners-up earned their place on the shortlist — each one excels for a specific kind of dog or household.
Runner-up
PupBox
A monthly puppy box that tries to grow with your dog.
PupBox tailors each shipment to your dog's age and training stage, and the included guide is a nice touch — but the toys and treats are pretty standard, and the personalization gets less useful once your dog ages out of the puppy phase.
What we liked & what we didn't
What we liked
- Personalization by age and training stage is genuinely useful, especially for first-time owners.
- The included training guide is more than filler. Our testers leaned on it through teething and leash work.
What we didn't
- Toys are built for puppies and gentle adult chewers, not power-chewers.
- At $29/month it adds up once your dog is past the puppy stage.
PupJoy
Small-batch goods from independent makers, for a price.
PupJoy leans on a curated, small-batch angle, and the ingredient quality is decent — but you're paying a premium for fewer items, and the toys aren't built for serious chewers.
What we liked & what we didn't
What we liked
- Every item feels hand-picked from small, independent makers.
- Ingredient quality is the best of any box we tested.
- The included treats disappeared fastest with our pickiest tester.
What we didn't
- At $45 it's the priciest box on this list.
- You get fewer items per shipment. Not the right pick if quantity or surprise factor matters more than craft.
BarkBox
A popular box with themed toys, if your dog isn't a heavy chewer.
BarkBox is everywhere for a reason — the monthly themes are cute and the price is reasonable — but the plush and rope toys didn't last long with anything stronger than a medium chewer in our tests.
What we liked & what we didn't
What we liked
- The monthly themes are charming without feeling forced.
- Plush toys held up better than we expected with our medium-chewer testers.
- Strong value at $23 for what's in the box.
What we didn't
- Plush and rope toys don't stand a chance against a real power-chewer. Most were destroyed within a day in our toughest tests.
- Themes occasionally veer gimmicky.
Chewy
Build your own box from the biggest pet retailer online.
Chewy isn't a curated subscription, but their Autoship program lets you set up recurring deliveries of any toys, treats, or food at a discount. Hard to beat on price and selection.
What we liked & what we didn't
What we liked
- Unbeatable selection and pricing. You pick exactly what arrives and when.
- The Autoship discount stacks across food, toys, and treats, which adds up fast for multi-dog households.
What we didn't
- There's no curation and no surprise. You do all the work of picking what's in the box.
- Not the right fit if part of the appeal is discovering new brands.
In-depth review
BULLYMAKE, after months of daily use.
Our New Favorite Delivery
Every time I open a box of toys and treats from BULLYMAKE, my dog goes absolutely crazy. I swear she knows it's for her—I can barely get the box open without her jumping all over me.
That's because these toys aren't just a 5-second shred project. BULLYMAKE toys are built to withstand the harshest, most destructive dog jaws out there. Don't believe me? Their nylon toys are engineered to withstand pressure up to 4X stronger than the toughest dog bite.
About The Toys: The Nitty-Gritty
Not every chewer has what it takes to take on BULLYMAKE's nylon. That's why they have 5 different types of tough, quality toys: nylon, rubber, rope, ballistic, and plush, each with a different texture and durability level to keep your dog satisfied and engaged.
Nylon is for the top K9 destruction machines: it's a colorful block of absolutely chew-proof power. BULLYMAKE rubber toys take that same durability and add a touch of flexibility for the pups who prefer a little give. The ultra-tough 100% cotton rope provides a scratchy, satisfying gnawing experience for dogs who like to sink their teeth in. And the ballistic material is crinkly, canvas-like sensory play that keeps my dog invested for hours.
Why does BULLYMAKE also have plush toys? They're tougher than the average puppy plush, but they're actually designed to be ripped. Some dogs need the feeling of accomplishment that comes from actually destroying something. So BULLYMAKE came up with a brilliant solution: a super-tough toy that will eventually succumb to your dog's wrath.
