How Does The Dapper Dog Box Work?

The Dapper Dog Box is a subscription treat box that caters to all dogs, whether puppies or seniors. In your box, you will receive toys, treats, and trendy bandanas created on a fun theme. You will receive five items each month, with an average package value of $60.

Treats are sourced from the USA’s small business owners and from compassionate, supportive companies who take good care of your dog’s needs.

The types of brands that Dapper Dog partners with thinks and acts with Hurricane Katrina’s displaced dogs or Los Angeles’ street dogs in mind. The company guarantees that part of the costs and proceeds go to these causes, saving one dog at a time.

A portion of the proceeds also goes to different dog rescue organizations each month. Such dog rescue organizations include The Sato Project, Chews Life Dog Rescue, Animal Hope & Wellness, Queen’s Best Corgi Rescue, and more.

The Dapper Dog Boxes go a long way as the company has donated thousands of dollars for dog adoption.

The Dapper Dog company mantra goes, “feel wonderful knowing every box you get helps dogs in need.”

Types of Products Available

The following products are the typical make-up of your Dapper Dog Box monthly:

• Two treats
• Two toys
• One bandana

These types of items rotate each month, so your dog will never get bored. The service curates these products for you and your dog in such a way that the products and treats are all made in the United States. They are all organic and grain-free. These products never contain any artificial preservatives or fillers.

The Dapper Dog is the only monthly subscription box for dogs that includes a colorful and lovable bandana in each box.

This bandana costs less than its actual value from a bandana shop. If you do not find the quality of these bandanas or any part of your treat box satisfactory, you can quickly call the attention of the company to correct the problems.

Dog sizes can be updated anytime through their site to sure they receive the right treats, toys, and bandana size. The Dapper Dog guarantees that your extreme-sized dogs (extra-small or extra-large) will receive the right products each time.

Company History

Kerrie Fitzgerald was behind the establishment of The Dapper Dog Box in 2015. The target of The Dapper Dog Box back then were modern female dog parents in their 20’s to 30’s. And she has done her research.

The company also focuses on people who treat their dogs like their kids. The typical profile of the initial patrons of The Dapper Dog Box were dog owners who shop at Wholefoods and Trader Joes—who usually celebrate a birthday party for their pets each year.

To differentiate their products, The Dapper Dog Box added colorful bowties and bandanas to the boxes. The products were also not only healthy but also of high quality.

Fitzgerald was able to differentiate from the competitors through including accessories. Another strategy that went beyond marketing is telling the “why” of the products as a need for pet dogs. Building trust through connection was The Dapper Dog Box’s advantage.

Pros

• Boxes are adjustable for allergies and heavy chewers
• Heavy Chewer toys have a 10-day guarantee
• Treats are hypoallergenic, meaning treats contain no soy, corn, rawhide, or bones
• Free shipping in the USA

Cons

• The catch is, this is one of the most expensive dog subscription packages
• Shipping costs a lot for Canada and other countries
• Heavy Chewer Box costs more than ordinary chewer boxes

Verdict

Dapper Dog has a non-satisfaction replacement guarantee and the ability to customize the box for allergies or heavy chewers. This means that your dog can have a Dapper Dog box that will meet his needs regardless of his unique tastes.

If you like ethically sourced and hypoallergenic toys and treats for your dog (plus the cute bandana), then The Dapper Dog Box might be for you. Part of the profit share will also go to dog shelters, foundations, and causes.
