Which Dog Subscription Box Is Right for Your Dog? A Play-Style Guide | Happy Paws Pack

Which Happy Paws Pack Is Right for My Dog?

Not all dogs are the same and their toys and treats shouldn’t be either. Every pup has a unique personality. Some are cuddly plush snugglers, some are fetch fanatics, others are extreme chewers, and plenty are treat-obsessed.

Choosing the perfect toys and treats for your pup isn’t always easy, every dog plays differently, chews differently, and enjoys the world in their own way. That’s exactly why Happy Paws Pack offers a range of customised monthly boxes designed around how your dog actually plays, learns, and enjoys their treats.

Whether your dog loves plush cuddles, high-energy tug sessions, destroy-everything chew time, or they’re simply food-motivated, we have the perfect pack to keep those tails wagging every month.

Let’s find the best match for your pup! 💜🐶
