Food Court-Inspired Dog Toys

Bark's New Soft Toys for Dogs are Based on Costco Food Court Items

— August 12, 2020 — Lifestyle
Bark created a new range of soft toys for dogs in collaboration with Costco that were uniquely inspired by items from the warehouse chain’s food court. In the plush dog toy bundle, there's an All-Squeak Hot Dog, Pupperoni Pizza and Soda Pup, as well as a Costco Good Dog Membership Card. All of these soft dog toys are filled with fluff, squeakers and crinkly materials so that dogs will be stimulated.

Pet owners who are also Costco fans will only be able to find this special collaborative dog toy bundle at participating Midwest stores while supplies last. Fortunately for others outside this region, Bark offers plenty of other fun food-themed dog toys that take the shape of beloved snacks, breakfast foods and everything in between.
