Today’s era of e-commerce has made it easier than ever to have products delivered directly to your door in a matter of days. Through stored payments, autoship options, and discount incentives, the process is streamlined to facilitate repeat purchases – set it and forget it. But when it comes to our pets, which many owners regard as family, some customers want a more personalized experience. That’s where PetFriendly Box found their niche.

This wellness subscription brand for dogs and cats features vet-quality products with a customized touch. After completing a short quiz about your household pets, PetFriendly Box will provide you with a list of recommended products. You can then build your monthly box using any of these recommendations or add something else from the website – it’s entirely up to you.

When you receive your box, each pet’s products are labeled with the pet’s photo and a clearly printed dosage amount. This customization is about more than making the pet owner feel special – clear labeling prevents mix-ups when it comes to administering products like supplements, particularly in a multi-pet household. PetFriendly Box is the first company I’ve seen to enact such a brilliant safeguard.

About PetFriendly Box

Who Created PetFriendly Box and Where Are the Products Produced?

PetFriendly Box was founded in 2018 by friends and long-time business associates, Aaron Shaddy and Ryan Finstad. Utilizing their combined business experience in the pet industry, the two men sought to fill a void left behind by the reigning e-commerce giants that had built their empires providing inexpensive goods with a fast ship date. Shaddy and Finstad’s pet wellness subscription box would not only provide quality products at an affordable price, but they would make sure each box was tailored for the specific pets that would be using those products, and add personalized touches like bonus treats and handwritten notes.

Headquartered in Omaha, Nebraska, PetFriendly Box now provides vet-formulated supplements, flea & tick preventions, and high-quality treats for both dogs and cats. Most of their products are made in the USA, with some products sourced from Germany. Each dog or cat supplement, as well as the flea & tick products, comes with a personalized label featuring your pet’s photo and dosage information. And everything remains affordable through their monthly subscription program, with products discounted as much as 50% off.

Which Types of Pets is PetFriendly Box Best Suited For?

PetFriendly Box has some great pet wellness products that virtually every dog or cat could benefit from. But this subscription box is really great for multi-pet households, since the pet name and photo, combined with dosage information, is right there on the front of the package. This is also a great feature for elderly pet owners or those with decreased vision capability, as it just makes things easier, plain and simple.

Whether your pet needs a basic daily vitamin, a mobility supplement for joint issues, or a little help in the dental department, PetFriendly Box has you covered. They also offer non-prescription flea & tick prevention, ear wipes, calming diffusers, and high-quality treats for both cats and dogs.

Key Features

Not only does PetFriendly Box provide top-quality, vet-formulated supplements and pest prevention, but they also maintain that personalized touch that the bigger pet product suppliers are lacking. This is a company that knows your pet by name and packages their items with each pet’s unique needs in mind. If you’re tired of being just another customer in corporate America, or you simply desire a more tailored experience for your pets, PetFriendly Box is the wellness brand for you!

Order and Delivery Process

The first step to placing your initial PetFriendly Box order is to fill out a quick 60-second quiz about each of your pets (dogs and cats only). You will enter each pet’s name, birthday, weight, and breed, and upload a photo of each pet – this photo will be printed on their corresponding products.

Once your quiz is complete, PetFriendly Box will provide you with personalized product recommendations which you can use to decide on the contents of your first subscription box. You do have the option to order items only once, but you receive considerable discounts by ordering items monthly, as much as 50% off in some cases. Shipping is also free on orders of $20 or more, so it really pays to fill up your box!

Once your order is set, your first box is packaged and shipped without delay, arriving conveniently to your door in just 3-5 business days. If you have purchased supplements or flea preventions, these will have the corresponding pet’s photo on the label as well as the appropriate dosage for that pet’s weight. This is PetFriendly Box’s way of “human-proofing” their products to avoid mix-ups in administration, especially in multi-pet households.

Subscription boxes are shipped monthly, and if you need to change an order, delay an order, update any pet info, or even cancel your box, just log into your account on their website.

Safety and Efficacy

All supplements from PetFriendly Box are vet-quality with no harmful additives or artificial flavors or colorings. They are all made in the USA or Germany from globally-sourced ingredients, and are EPA- or FDA-approved. Because these products are vet-formulated, you can rest assured they are just as effective as any other big-name pet wellness products, but the proof is in the reviews – scroll through the reviews on their website, and you will see how pleased their customers are!

When it comes to flea and tick prevention, particularly monthly topical products, there are a lot of imposters out there that simply do not work or are even harmful to our pets. But the topical prevention from PetFriendly Box is not only safe, it’s the real deal. Their dog product, Wags Advance, contains the same active ingredients as the well-known K9 Advantix II topical, and their Purrs Advance contains the same active ingredients as Advantage II for cats. (It is noted on the PetFriendly Box website that neither of their flea & tick topical preventions are made by Elanco, the manufacturer of Advantix and Advantage products.)

Variety

Currently, there is not a great deal of variety of products on the PetFriendly Box website. The oral supplements only come in one flavor, either beef or chicken, depending on the item. And there are only a few treats to choose from. However, the ingredients used in these items are top-tier, and they are all formulated to be as appealing to our dogs and cats as possible.

Do remember that this company has only been around for little more than half a decade – hopefully as time goes on, they will be adding more variety and developing more wellness products to please our furry friends!

Value

The price of the supplements from PetFriendly Box seems to be comparable or slightly more expensive than many similar products from other brands and websites that I researched, even with a monthly subscription. Where this brand does beat the competition, however, is with a monthly subscription to their topical flea & tick products. For just $10 per month (per pet), you can keep your pets and household flea- and tick-free, and the value of that is undeniable. Plus, PetFriendly Box includes bonus treats with every subscription they ship, and shipping is always free on purchases of $20 or more.

Our 6 PetFriendly Box Product Reviews:

1. Mobility Supplement for Dogs

The Mobility supplement from PetFriendly Box has everything needed for optimal joint health packed in a tasty beef-flavored morsel. This well-rounded hip & joint supplement contains not only glucosamine, but also chondroitin sulfate, methylsulfonylmethane (MSM), and turmeric. Together, these ingredients work synergistically to improve joint mobility and reduce pain in your dog in as little as two weeks. This supplement also contains ingredients that benefit your dog’s wellness as a whole, such as carrots and sweet potatoes.

The only downside of this supplement is that it should not be given with the Daily supplement, due to the amount of glucosamine present in both products – too much glucosamine can cause digestive upset.

2. Daily Supplement for Dogs

The Daily supplement is the perfect preventative measure to ensure your dog’s future well-being. This all-in-one multivitamin supports every aspect of your pet’s health and can be given as a special treat that your dog is sure to love. It is veterinarian-formulated, appropriate for all ages, and contains powerful nutrients like glucosamine, B-12, and a probiotic blend. Like most supplements, it works better the longer you use it, and PetFriendly Box recommends using Daily for at least six weeks before evaluating results. In time, you should start to see a more energetic and peppier pup! Just follow the recommended dosage information printed right on the front of the tub next to your pet’s photo.

3. Brilliant Dental Care for Dogs

Brilliant is a unique and convenient way to care for your dog’s oral health. The chicken-flavored gel is contained in an applicator similar to a human deodorant stick. You simply click the dial on the bottom three times to extrude the perfect amount, then hold the applicator near your dog’s face. Once your dog smells the yummy chicken aroma, they will lick it right up! Once your dog has licked all the gel off the surface, wipe it off with a paper towel or clean cloth and replace the cap. The entire process is that simple – no mess, no hassle, no forgetting. Just keep the tube next to your pet’s other supplements. This is a great dental care option for dogs that resist having their teeth brushed.

4. Squeaky Ear Wipes

Squeaky Ear Wipes make cleaning your dog’s ears a quick and easy process. No more finding the ear wash and cotton balls. Now you have a tub full of conveniently sized wipes already soaked in a gentle, cleansing solution. Cover your finger with a wipe and use it on just the areas of your dog’s ear that you can see – do not insert into your dog’s ear canal. These wipes are great to remove superficial wax and debris that can contribute to ear infections when not removed regularly. The solution is derived from coconut and palm, making it non-irritating, and it leaves behind only a fresh, pleasant scent. Squeaky wipes are also great for wiping your dog’s face and feet when a quick clean is needed.

5. Baked Goods Blueberry Treats for Dogs

These baked blueberry treats are so delicious and aromatic, they are sure to be irresistible to your dog. Made with upcycled human-grade bakery ingredients like wheat flour, dried blueberries, and honey, they are not only tasty, but healthy, too. Blueberries and honey provide powerful antioxidants to boost your dog’s immune system, while eggs and vegetable glycerin can improve skin and coat health.

These bite-sized treats do come in very small packages, but ultimately need to be given in moderation to avoid weight gain and an imbalanced diet. Because they are so irresistible, they are perfect to use for brief training sessions, to assist in giving medications, or as a special snack during vet visits.

---

6. Beefy Bites Treats

These all-natural treats contain only one ingredient – roasted beef lung. This singular ingredient makes these treats incredibly healthy, and also a great option for dogs with food allergies. These treats are high in protein and low in fat, making them less likely to contribute to weight gain than other treats that may contain unnecessary fillers or are very fatty. And the crunchy texture is something dogs crave, making these a high-value reward perfect for training sessions. Vitamins in these treats assist with red blood cell creation, nervous system function, and heart health. Available in two quantities, you can choose the bag size that works for your household, and the bigger “beefier” bag is conveniently resealable.

Our Experience With PetFriendly Box

When I opened my first order, I was thrilled to see my dogs’ faces on the labels. And next to Turtle, Rooney, and Candy’s photos were their corresponding dosage recommendations in bold print – I have not come across another pet wellness brand that makes it that easy. I was also happy to find bonus treats in my box, which the dogs sniffed out right away!

I am beyond pleased with my items from PetFriendly Box. We received two different treats – Beefy Bites and Blueberry Muffin – which were both smash hits. The dogs loved the crunchy Beefy Bites, and I loved how there was no unpleasant odor or greasiness. The pups also loved the soft Blueberry Muffin treats, which had a powerful maple aroma even through the packaging, and all three dogs were drawn to these as soon as I opened our box!

For oral supplements, we received both Mobility and Daily chews, though PetFriendly Box recommended not to use these at the same time due to the abundance of glucosamine in both products. I was advised to use the Mobility first for pets with joint issues, then later switch to the Daily, which has slightly less glucosamine. Fortunately, the Mobility chews do feature other nutrients in addition to those that target joint health, so it still felt like I was giving my senior dog, Turtle, a multivitamin. Since my other two pups, Rooney and Candy, are younger dogs with no known joint issues, I started them out on the Daily chews instead, which are a great supplement for overall health and vitality. Now that the dogs have been taking their supplements for a few weeks, I have seen increased energy levels in all three, proof to me that these products are doing their job!

We also tried out the Brilliant daily dental gel that promises to freshen breath, whiten teeth, and fight plaque with special ProLONG™ technology. I found the applicator stick convenient to use, and the dogs loved the taste. While I can’t tell if it genuinely whitens teeth, I did notice an improvement in their breath right away.

Finally, we received Squeaky ear wipes. Ear cleaning is something I know I should do more, but it never seems convenient to round up tissues, cotton balls, and ear cleaner. Plus, the dogs hate having any liquid squirted into their ear canals. The tissue on my finger falls apart. And I always seem to temporarily lose a cotton ball in some poor pup’s ear before I can get hold of it again to fish it out. These Squeaky wipes have been a game changer. Now I have a pre-moistened wipe that is the perfect size for wiping those wrinkles and crevices around the base of the ear flap. The dogs tolerate this much better than the old way, and the wipes leave a pleasant scent. I also love them for cleaning the dogs’ faces between baths. For convenience alone, this has been my favorite product!

Conclusion

PetFriendly Box is a brand that certainly lives up to their mission to provide the “efficiencies of modern logistics while giving customers a personalized experience.” Not only do their top-quality products support our pets’ daily wellness in a safe and effective way, but this is a company that knows your pets’ names and sees their faces with every order they package. They even throw in free treats with every order to make your pets feel extra loved.
