Doggie Delivery Dog Subscription Box - Review

 Two years ago, we were totally unaware of the concept of dog subscription boxes. Fast forward to 2017 and they're everywhere! With increased competition in this market segment, providers certainly have to offer something new and different to grab the attention of dog lovers these days...

INTRODUCING DOGGIE DELIVERY...

The latest entrant in the Australian market is called Doggie Delivery. Its founders always struggled to find treats and toys that they felt were suitable for their beloved Pug, Ralphie.


As health and eco-conscious pet parents, they were frustrated when most stores would only stock cheap imported products and the creation of Doggie Delivery was their answer to this frustration...

Ralphie's humans are also passionate about supporting other Australian small businesses and independent artisans and guarantee 100% of all their products will be sourced locally which does get our tick of approval! 

Every Doggie Delivery features a unique collection of the best dog toys, healthy treats, accessories and hygiene products that Australia has to offer! Knowing that every dog is different, the company strives to provide suitable deliveries for the heavy chewers, the meek and gentle and the fussy foodies. 

Each monthly box will contain 6 to 8 premium products. 
The motivation behind Doggie Delivery was also to make a difference to the lives of those dogs less fortunate and the company has pledged to donate 5% of all their profits directly to Australian shelter charities.

Every month, customers will have the opportunity to suggest the charities they feel would benefit most from this support. 

WHAT WAS IN OUR DOGGIE DELIVERY BOX THIS MONTH?

Whether you're incredibly busy or simply don’t live close to a pet store, a subscription box is a great way of ensuring your pooch has a fresh supply of dog toys and treats every month without spending hours online as all the hard work has been done for you...

We all love surprises and our dogs do too! We love the fact that these boxes introduce dog owners like ourselves to new brands and ranges that you would never find in your average pet shop!

It always feels a little bit like Christmas when you have no idea what’s in the box. However, one quick look at our three dogs sniffing the contents with intent confirmed that there were definitely some dog treats in this mix!

First up were some 100% natural Australian Lamb Liver treats from Melbourne-based Laila and Me. With 3 large dogs, we never have too many training rewards and these snap easily into small chunks, perfect for the training pouch!

The Max's Minty Fresh treats from Laura's Pawesome Treats were completely new to us.


This generously sized 200g pack included 10 large treats (7 paws and 3 dog bones) using 100% natural peanut butter blended with parsley, mint and chlorophyll, ideal as a morning treat or as a breath freshener after a meal or whenever your dog can sneak one in, including halfway through a photo shoot!
With one dog having recently explored our compost pile, these arrived at an opportune time! 

We also received a small sample of Frank and Pop's all natural gourmet dog biscuits (2 small paws and 2 bones) which were inhaled by our pack...


Finally, our September box included three separate dog toys: two plush toys, including a very cute Ollie Owl Patchwork Pal from Gummi Pet Products which makes a very convincing chicken sound when you shake or squeeze it. Having live chickens in our backyard, let's just hope our dogs never attempt to replicate those squeaky sounds... 
It is an adorable toy but may not last too long with our hell-raising Malinois team...

We really liked the look and feel of the eco-friendly red Sea Star dog toy from East Coast Pets, handmade in Nepal using 100% wool and vegetable dyes and completely biodegradable. Not being a chew toy, it is again not ideal for our large dogs but it certainly made Porthos feel very nautical!


Last but not least there was a large bone-shaped Chew Toy from HiHo Australia which is durable, non-toxic and is deemed to improve dental health

Our box also featured a cute little bow-tie proudly made by Ralphie's mum and it took us a couple of days to realise its design featured a fox head. This will provide another opportunity to play dress-up down the track!

HOW DOES THE DOGGIE DELIVERY SUBSCRIPTION BOX WORK?

Step 1
– you will need to complete your pet profile on their website. To ensure the toys and treats are suited to your pet, you can select from 3 dog sizes (0-10kg, 10-25kg and 25kg+).

Step 2
– simply choose the length of your plan. Opt for a one-off box as a special present or to trial the service or sign up for a 3 or 6-month subscription to take advantage of the plan discounts.

Step 3 – Keep an eye out on your front door after the 15th of each month when all boxes are being shipped to subscribers! If you work from home, your dogs will definitely alert you when it arrives...

Please note that you need to order (or subscribe) before the last day of the month to be in the run for a shipment the following month… As soon as your box has been despatched, you will receive an email with the relevant details so that you can track the progress of your shipment!
"Mum, you shouldn't have... Is this all really for me?"
