Fetch Co was our first summer box to arrive this season. I do have to say there is zero theming when it comes to these boxes. I’ve gotten three so far and none of them have had a real theme. I posted about this in my Spring Box review as well, but on the home page it states: “A themed collection of goodies for every season of the year! Fall, Winter, Spring and Summer – We’ve got the best of the best from North America’s most premium dog brands. Every box includes a mix of 8-10 premium toys, treats and chews. From fun, durable toys, to all-natural, high quality treats, to long lasting and delicious chews, we’ve got you covered”
- No theme
- No chews
- 8-10 items only if you include the samples
However…
- The toys are generally good quality
- This month’s toys are all natural latex
- The treats are good quality
- No other canine crate I’ve tried has samples
- Occasional health products are a plus

Inside the Box
I’ve found that these latex chews from fouFit to be pretty good quality. The puptart has been a favourite for several months and is basically in the same condition as when we first got it. My dogs do like to chew, but they don’t generally destroy toys that aren’t stuffed, so that might explain why they’ve lasted so long. I think the dogs get a special, sadistic pleasure from tearing stuffing out of stuffed toys.
This creamsicle has a valve that creates a squeak when compressed.
fouFit is a Canadian brand that generally manufactures in China.
I like fouFit’s toys. They have proven to be pretty durable and I appreciate that the three in this box are all made of natural latex. This unicorn cupcake also contains a valve that creates a squeak when compressed.
This toy also has a valve that squeaks when the toy is compressed. It’s a little small, but my dogs are good with toys of all sizes. They’re not very dumb and don’t manage to unintentionally swallow things they’re not supposed to. Okay, I guess this toy isn’t that small.
This must be a sample size or something because the bag online looks pretty full, whereas this one only has 4 treats. I like how they’re shaped like sunglasses though.
Salty Dogs is a great company, and all of their products so far have been well received. My only suggestion would be for them to be more eco-conscious about their packaging. That suggestion really should go for most brands in the dog treat industry.
Salty Dogs is from Nova Scotia.
These duck necks are crunchy treats that got devoured quickly by Coco and Canek. They hid in their respective corners of the house to chow down. Poor Maila will have to get the scraps from the bag when she gets home from the office.
Puppy Gang is a dog food and treat company from Toronto. I love supporting Canadian brands, but holy cow why is everything so expensive for pets? $18.99 for two treats that last about a minute? Recently I was looking at Wilder Harrier’s new food as it’s made out of an invasive fish, but it’s literally more than double of what I currently pay for fairly premium food. $120 for 10kg is crazy. I thought $100 for 17kg was crazy. They even make it tricky online because the autoship price says $83.99 for 10kg, but that’s only the first order. It increases for the subsequent orders. Owning 3 larger dogs makes it difficult to not look at Milk-Bone and Pedigree to cut down on basic expenses.
Any treat that contains only one ingredient is a good treat in my books.
I’ve noticed there seems to be more and more companies popping up offering this exact same thing. My question is: if there are so many Canadian companies offering dog treats now, why do Canadian pet franchises not offer more of them? Would that not boost production for these companies and make it possible for them to lower their prices? They’re all so flipping expensive.
It’s Barking Good makes and packs their treats in Toronto.
I’m delighted with these samples, although it doesn’t say which supplement they are. The options I see on the website are glucosamine, omega-3, and omega-3 & cranberry. Maila doesn’t enjoy her Purica Recovery supplements, so if she ends up liking these, and they’re within the price range, I’d definitely be willing to make the switch. As long as they’re effective, that is.
I’ve been using a BlueStem water additive for a couple years now, and I think it does help. It doesn’t keep all the tartar down, but it does minimize it. Not sure it helps with the breath, because sometimes it will be horrifically stinky, smelling like a hospital. At those times I like to switch up the food and that seems to take care of it. I am always keen to try new things though. This will be especially good to try since Yuki will not drink the water if BlueStem is in it. If she’ll drink water with this in it, then we’re golden!
Overall Impression
Not including the Pattes Vertes samples, this box has a retail value of only $84.57, well below the advertised $100+. Keep in mind, with the $20+ in tax and shipping I’m spending, I’m only gaining about $10 of value for things I probably wouldn’t otherwise buy. It also says that there are supposed to be 8-10 toys, treats, and chews, but we only get at that number if we include the samples.
I’ve tried three boxes now, which I think is sufficient to get a fair understanding of this company. There is nothing wrong with these boxes, per se, but for me, it’s time to move on. I’ve sent my cancellation request on June 6.
