Wigglebutt Box Dog Subscription Box Review - January 2017

Wigglebutt Box is a subscription box of “yummy and fun surprises for you and your dog that are delivered right to your door every month.” Each box contains a seasonal kerchief, a roll of poop bags, and a combination of 3-5 toys/treats/accessories. Boxes are tailored to your pet’s size and toy treatment. Pet parents are not forgotten either; there’s a gift included for you too! Plans start at $35/month, but you can increase your savings by choosing a longer subscription option (3-month, 6-month, and annual plans available). Plus, a portion of the proceeds from every box sold will go towards an animal charity.

I got the small dog/average play Wigglebutt box for my fur babies, Lily and Lexi.

Is that a reference to the Big Game? Check out Mia and April getting ready to toss around the pigskin.

The information card has a list of box contents along with a brief description. Wigglebutt Box is now including pricing for box items. Unless noted otherwise, these are also the prices used below.

Here’s our January Wigglebutt Box, and the girls got a football.

Hol-ee Football -Small | JW ($8.50): This football has oval cutouts, allowing you to add larger treats inside to keep your pup occupied. The extra flexible ball is sure to be a hit with your dog. The product I linked to is selling for $6.28.

Bungee Gecko Toy – Lime | Zanies ($6.99): This gecko stretches from 16″ to 24″ and features two squeakers (one in the head and one in the tail). I think this would be great for the girls in a game of tug o’ war; however, this toy shed quite a bit while handling. I’m not sure how it would hold up to my girls who can be pretty rough.

Mini Naturals Training Treats – Peanut Butter | Zuke’s ($6.99): The girls received the chicken flavor of these treats in last month’s box and loved them. They are also peanut butter fans and love these just as much! Each treat is less than 3.5 calories and made from all-natural ingredients.

Puffed Cheese Treats | Loving Pets ($2.99): These treats are made from puffed rice dusted with cheddar cheese powder. I may have mentioned this before, but my fur babies LURVE cheese. Seriously, Lexi comes running as soon as she hears the bag come out of the fridge. My girls also live in a partially Asian house, so combining rice and cheese is a surefire hit (yes, I give my dogs rice, but only in moderation)! I was able to find this at Dollar Tree, and the price was significantly lower than other sites.

Roofle – Maple Flavor | Redbarn ($1.99): The site I linked to has these for $0.89! This is a waffle-shaped rawhide chew topped with a maple flavored coating. I’m sure the girls will love this, but how am I supposed to split it between them? #dogmomproblems

** Pawrent Gift ** Empire Tote Bag | Harry Barker ($8.99): This bag was retailing at HarryBarker.com for $8 not $8.99, and it is now on sale for $3. This large tote bag is made from 100% recycled materials and has a plastic bottom support insert. I love the images of dogs dressed in Roman Empire pieces; they’re so cute and kitschy.

To give you a little gauge of the capacity of the bag, here it is filled with all of this month’s box items. The bag is slightly taller but thinner than the standard reusable shopping bag.

Seasonal Kerchief | Wigglebutt Box ($6.00): I love the patterns on this scarf. The neutral gray is très chic for my fur baby. This month’s kerchief is larger than the ones we’ve received in the past and fits Lexi much better than it does Lily. Unfortunately, she is not a fan of clothing/accessories or having her picture taken.

** Bonus ** Dog Waste Bags | Amazon ($0.50): These come in every box and are always welcome in my house.

The self-proclaimed value of the January Wigglebutt Box is $43. Using the prices I found, this value drops to $35, which is the cost of the subscription (so, I break even). I’ve noticed that the value fluctuates, but it doesn’t go below the cost of a single box. ☺️ My girls love the Zuke’s training treats and puffed cheese treats. Each of these treats was flavored with some of their favorite foods. And I couldn’t be happier with my pawrent gift. The Empire tote is completely adorable and useful!
