BARK is now rolling out its 4/20-themed collection for new and current BarkBox and Super Chewer subscribers for a limited time. New customers can even receive their first box for just $4.20 when they sign up for a six- or 12-month subscription. BarkBox subscribers can expect to receive the original plush B-O-N-G-O and Apple of My High dog toys, which are filled with fluff and squeakers, while Super Chewer will satisfy tough chewers with more durable dog toys including the treat-dispensing Snack-Packed Bong dog toy and Munchie the Bear, who arrives in a 420mg SALIVA baggie. BARK is also offering additional cannabis-inspired products a la carte, including the Best Buds Bundle, featuring a tie-dye bandana and Foggy Green Giant dog toy, on barkshop.com and Crunchy Munchies Beef Liver Dog Food Topper, which has all the vibes (but no CBD or THC), on bark.co.
The first launch of the 4/20-themed dog toys in 2020 sent dog parents into a blaze, with BARK selling out of product in the first 24 hours and BARK’s Facebook ad with the toys garnering 5,000 comments in 10 hours.
“When we first launched 4/20 toys in 2020, there was instant excitement among dog parents, resulting in one of our biggest sales days ever - even surpassing the previous Black Friday with three times more sales,” said Dave Stangle, VP of Brand Marketing at BARK. “Four years later, these toys are still some of our top sellers, with a weed-inspired toy or treat for every kind of dog and playstyle. We love dreaming up ways to tap into cultural moments and people’s obsessions to reach even more dogs and dog parents.”
