ABOUT BARK

BARK is, literally, for the dogs. We are obsessed with making dogs, and the people who love them, happy. If this requires giving belly scratches until we get carpal tunnel or listening to squeaky toys until our ears bleed, that’s cool.

We are the pups and people behind:

• BarkBox, the monthly box of toys and treats;
• BarkShop, to find puppy-tested, hooman-approved goodies;
• BarkPost, your daily dose of dog news; and
• BarkLive, for events that expand on the experiences you can share with your dog and other dog-ruvers.
