Written by: Eliza Reinhardt

Late in the night, around a spooky campfire, dogs tell twisted tails of hair-raising horrors: zombie dog walkers, swamp creatures in the water bowl, and other creeps that go CHOMP in the night. 

Your pup may put on a brave face, but admit it: when they hear these scary stories, every dog’s AFRAID OF THE BARK!

BarkBox Theme Reveal: Afraid of the Bark

Gourd Boy

Legend has it, a naughty dog went digging for some pumpkins—and fell into a rough patch. Gourd Boy’s floppy legs and stretchy arms are fun to thrash and tug, but be warned—he won’t lose his head without a fight.

The Dog Stalker

They say the Dog Stalker has walked the earth for a zillion years, waiting for their dog to pick a potty spot. Stuff a treat in his chest so your dog can snatch a snack—if they have the guts.

Chew Late Chainsaw

The Grim Meeper

Oh no! Did you hear something grunting? It’s the Grim Meeper, here to bring your dog’s boredom to a swift and hair-raising end.

Here Boy Hatchet

They say this blade once belonged to Lassie Borden…but hey, finders creepers. Grab hold for a bloody good game of tug. At least until your dog decides to bury the hatchet.

Baddie Bye

Look under this bed and you’ll see what happens to all that unvaccumed dog fur. After you see this fur-some monster, you’ll think twice about crawling around looking for a missing toy. Better just play with Baddie Bye instead.

The Lady In The Slobber

This dog mom waited too long to give her pup a treat and drowned in doggy drool. You can try and air-dry her with a good long toss. Your dog might try to shake her dry. But the slobber…won’t…come…off…
