BarkBox is adding a free dog bed to the first box for new subscribers who pick a 6- or 12-month plan, plus free chews for a year, with plans starting at $24 a month, as listed by BARK on November 2, 2026. Current subscribers get their own November deal: add-on spend tiers that unlock free gifts, topped by a free Ollie the Octopus Bed (up to $86 in combined value).
BarkBox November 2026: The New Subscriber Offer
- Offer: a free dog bed in your first box, plus free chews for a year
- Who: new subscribers on a 6-month or 12-month BarkBox plan
- Price: from $24 a month (the lowest rate is on the longest plan)
Source: BARK
The math: at $24 a month, a 12-month plan comes to about $288 a year (our math, before tax and any shipping). BARK did not list a stated value or size for the bed in the offer.
For Current Subscribers: Free Gifts by Add-On Spend
If you already subscribe, BARK lists 3 cumulative gift tiers for one-time items added to your upcoming subscription order with the “Add to Next Order” button, through November 30, 2026 at 11:59 PM ET:
- Any amount: free Mystery Chews (up to $6 in value)
- Spend $35+: pick a free Holiday Toy (up to $26 combined value)
- Spend $75+: a free Ollie the Octopus Bed (up to $86 total combined value)
Source: BARK. The pre-tax threshold excludes shipping, fees, and “Ship Now” purchases, and gifts drop off if your total falls below a tier. The offer is limited to one gift set per subscription and does not apply to Subscribe & Save items, new plans, or upgrades.
The math on the top tier: spend $75 on add-ons and get up to $86 in stated value of gifts on top of the items you bought.
Our Take
A free bed is one of the more useful BarkBox bonuses, since most promos are an extra toy. The catch is the commitment: the bed comes with a 6- or 12-month plan, which auto-renews. If your dog destroys plush toys in minutes, look at Super Chewer instead, which uses tougher toys.
- Best for: new dog owners, gifting a year of toys, households already planning a long plan
- Skip it if: you want to try one month first, or your dog only uses heavy-duty toys
