Fings for Fido box
Posted: March 19, 2013 Filed under: presents, review | Tags: alaskan malamute, barkbox, fings for fido, puppy 71 Comments »Over the last few months I’ve become increasing jealous of my US bloggy friends who subscribe to BarkBox. I think it’s such a cool idea and wish we had them in the UK. Then just recently I found out that we do!
In a random web search mummy stumbled across a review of Fings for Fido a monthly doggy box service very similar to BarkBox, but based in the UK. How exciting is that!
They offer both one-off and subscription-based boxes, Mummy signed me up for the regular sized box which costs £16.99 and promises that:
Each box consists of between 4-6 goodies which may include hygiene or grooming products, gadgets, handmade biscuits, treats, toys, training aids and more! The RRP of our boxes will always exceed what you pay.
Mummy figured we’d try it once and see how we got on.
Well yesterday my first box arrived! Mummy had it sent to her work so daddy wouldn’t be tempted to open it before she got home. And here’s what we found inside:
I got a Denti Wiggly Giggly – this makes a funny sound when you shake it and and its also good for teeth and gums
Then I got a plush rainbow jack and a toy bag of Walkies Crisps
Then there was some Sea Jerky and some homemade treats.
And lastly some dog magazines, info sheets and a newsletter
I’m looking forward to trying the treats (sadly these have been put in my treat box for the moment) and I’ve been having lots of fun playing with my new toys:-) All in all I’m quite pleased with my box. Thank you Fings for Fido!
Lucky you Misaki. Looks like you hit the motherload there.
Have a terrific Tuesday.
Best wishes Molly
Thanks Molly, I sure was pleased with my swag:-)
Lucky Misaki!! What a great idea!! I wonder if I can pesuade my mum to get them for me…I think its time to engage puppy dog eyes….
I hope you can Bosco! It’s like christmas every month:-)
So glad you like our box Misaki, thank you for your feedback.
I love it, thanks FFF!!
Yay!! So happy you have your own boxes in the UK!!
Me too!!
Could become a serious addiction!
I sure hope so hehehehe:-)
That’s great that you found a service like that where you live. We don’t get a box but mom orders us stuff now and then which is kind of like getting a box!
Thanks Ems, isn’t getting gifts the best:-)
wow lots of treats
i can’t wait to try them, but mummy was mean and has hidden them away!
That’s so exciting! We love it when parcels come in the mail!!!
Enjoy,Misaki!
I was sooo excited when mummy came home with it yesterday
That’s an interesting name… Denti Wiggly Giggly … think I would like such a thingy too… sounds like Mischief
)
I think you’d love it too Easy! Plus its a little bit spikey, so I’ve been thinking of leaving it on daddy’s chair so he’ll sit on it BOL
Wow, awesome!! I’m so glad you can have your very own treat box now.
Thanks Roxy, its great to get a giftbox, felt like christmas yesterday:-)
Wow, those look like some pawsome toys!
They sure are!
It looks like it was full of great stuff! Not to mention the box itself!
Purrs
That is true, although I think I’m a little big to fit in the box BOL
Wowzers Misaki……..what a cool thing and I’m so glad there’s somebody in the UK who does that – surprises are fun and you’ll be getting one every single month! WOW!
Speaking of that, you’ll be getting a surprise from me soon for winning the scary poem contest at the campout!
Kitty Hugs, Sammy
I know how pawesome is that, it was like it was my birthday all over again:-)
Thanks so much Sammy! I still can’t believe I won!!
What a fun idea.
it sure is!!
How exciting! Must be fun to receive that box.
Piggy kisses,
Katie and Coccolino the mini pig
It really was Cocco!
That sure sounds like it was a good idea for Mom to try. That jack wouldn’t last long here, but we sure would enjoy all those treats.
Woos – Phantom, Thunder, Ciara, and Lightning
Yes, daddy said the same about me and the jack, especially as each edge squeaks BOL!
Looks like you made out like a bandit – enjoy!
Thanks guys:-)
Oh and ps I made my first gif on the site you suggested!
Fings for Fido cracks me up!! Misaki I’m happy you rec’d your first fingtastic box of goodies too.
Mom needs to see if there is a Cattastic box…MOL
Hugs Madi
I’m sure someone must do one, be great if they do!
Oh, that is soooo cool Misaki!! I am so happy for you. YOu have one cool Moms! (my Ma is just tooo mean to get me a subscription….sniff, sniff)
Kisses,
Ruby
Oh noes:-( Rubes you have to practice your best puppydog eyes, and maybe don’t make her slip in dog poo for a bit:-)
Those are some cool, fun “fings” you got there, M. I hope Fido isn’t mad that you got his box! Have fun!
Love and licks,
Cupcake
I hope he doesn’t mind either!
That is so cool ,mummy gets things for me too from time to time,xx Speedy
Presents are the best:-)
Ooooo! Good for you, Misaki! I wish you had Jones Chews in the UK, but that’s not happening soon.
Maybe I’ll have to send you some from my house.
I wish we did too, your posts about the treats always leave me drooling…
Lucky Misaki!
Mummy says I’m spoilt, i think maybe she’s right BOL
Wow!!!! What FUN…Enjoy!!!!
Thanks Trev:-)
Looks like a great box. You are lucky! Lee and Phod
Thanks guys. Though I think you guys hit the jackpot with your box from Mollie
WOW! Am wondering now about a meowbox??? mol
They’d be missing a trick if they don’t do one…!
Bet that lovely plush toy lasted………………Gone! BOL ..looks great M.. don’t we just luv getting suprizez
xx00xx
Mollie and Alfie
Daddy has hidden in on top of the freezer for the moment so I haven’t had a proper play with it yet:-(
Thank you for doing this review, i was jealous of our US friends until i saw the UK equivalent advertised in a dog magazine. I might have to order one.
Cool:-) I hope you do get one, its like christmas all over again!
I didn’t know about Barkbox until I read this and now I am jealous of you!
I thank you, whilst my mom might not. 
Hehehe, give your mummy your best puppydpg eyes and maybe she’ll sign you up for a box too!
I do puppydog eyes pretty well…might have to give it a try.
Love your Wiggly chew toy…all the items look great!!! You deserve everyone of them Misaki!!! Have a good time playing & snacking.
love ya Pup, Sherri-Ellen xo
Aww thanks Nylablue. Hope you got home from camping ok!
Looks like lots of fun Misaki! I have never heard of the Sea Jerky – what is that?
I haven’t had them before either, but they are treats made of baked fish skins – sounds good to me!
Um, “Sea Jerky”? What the heck is that??? Cod! I hope it’s not SEAWEED!
Lol no its made of fishies – yum!
a heavenly box for dogs
the toys look fun. have you tried the treat?
They are still hidden in my treat box sadly:-(
Just missing some Wagg treats!
Now that’s a good point, perhaps you could form an alliance with the Fido people??
What a neat idea!!! Yet another way to spoil our furry children!!! I can’t wait to check out the American counterpart, Barkbox! I’m just hoping there will not be any “My box is better than your box” talk amongst our doggies, though!!
Glad you are enjoying the toys, hope the treats are really yummy when you get to try them:-)
