BARK

We're dog people. Crazy dog people. BARK (that's us) launched in 2012 with BarkBox, our monthly themed subscription of all-natural treats and clever toys. Today we reach over 1.8 million dogs every month and we've expanded into oodles of new product categories and thousands of retail locations. We keep growing - and we've accumulated expertise to create our own products, experiences, and content.At BARK, we know that dogs aren't pets; they're family. Our people, crazy dog people, believe that their dogs deserve the best. The best treats, the best toys, the best seat on the couch. Together, we're driven to be the people our dogs think we are.
