We all know that our cute Shih Tzus are renowned for their perky, sweet, happy temperaments. They are lively and friendly. We also all know they have a big desire to be with people, whether that is sitting on your lap or taking a hike through the park.
Occasionally they enjoy training and learning tricks, whatever it takes to make them the center of our attention.
They thrive on our human company, and sometimes they can easily become spoiled. Oh my, don’t we love giving them our love, attention, and of course toys & treats (preferably healthy ones).
We have come across BarkBox (a New York-based provider of dog products). It is a box full of toys and treats for our furry friends; a gift that both you and your Shih Tzu can’t wait to open. Conveniently delivered to your doorstep by mail, it provides the same kind of anticipation and delight you feel with a party, a birthday, or Christmas. The joy of surprise, of opening a present.
Every BarkBox delivers 2 original toys, tailored to your Shih Tzu’s size, 2 full bags of all-natural treats, and a scrumptious, high-quality chew. All of the toys are designed in-house and the treats are always made in the USA and Canada, they never contain any corn, wheat, or soy. And each month, BarkBox comes wrapped in a surprise new theme for your Shih Tzu to enjoy, like the popular “Chewrassic Bark”, “Space Squirrels”, and “Knights of the Hound Table” boxes.
Allergies? Multi-dog homes? Heavier chewers? BarkBoxes can be tailored to accommodate your Shih Tzu, happiness is guaranteed.
Spoiling your Shih Tzu with BarkBox—to us it feels like the joy of giving them a million belly scratches. And they sure love getting them!

Are The BarkBox Items Safe?
It is obvious we only want the best for our Shih Tzu. Toys need to be safe for them. BarkBox claim that safety is of paramount importance to them. Every item in their box is quality-checked and they would never send out an item that they wouldn’t give to their own dogs.
The toys, grooming, and clothing products are all approved by the office dog product testers. Every single one of the products needs to be of high quality and safe.
According to BarkBox:
“The thorough testing we do allows us to feel confident about the standard of quality of goods manufactured here or abroad! When it comes to our manufacturing, shipping, and production partners, we work with these companies specifically because of their attention to safety every step of the way. As buyers of products, we stand by our vendors, and we extensively vet every company we do business with before committing to purchase.”
Money wise, a BarkBox seems to be pretty decent value, as the combined cost of the treats and toys they include in a box is usually substantially lower than what you would pay if you would get these separately yourself. Here is some feedback we have seen from people who received BarkBox:
BarkBox say that their boxes are for all dog sizes, small to large, and for all life stages from puppyhood to seniors! They claim to have currently tons of subscribers who are puppies. If you choose the size your Shih Tzu puppy is now, you can always adjust the boxes as they grow! You ultimately know what’s best for your pup. Supervision is always recommended, as we all know pups can get a little tricky!
