As a small pet owner, I feel gypped.
Next time you are at a pet store take a look around. Probably at least 3/4 of the store is devoted to dogs and cats. Then go look at the small animal and birds sections. Yeah. Not a lot to chose from.
Even online dogs and cats win out with all the toys, treats and even subscription boxes. Why should dogs and cats have all the fun?
Luckily enterprising pet parents have stepped in to fill the void when it comes to subscription boxes.
I did some digging and found there are quite a few subscription boxes for our other furry, feathered or finned friends to get excited about.
Subscription Boxes For Pets
Who doesn’t love to get packages in the mail? And if it’s a surprise, it’s even better! With subscription boxes, we get all that AND we get to spoil our pets. Sounds perfect.
Each service will differ, but you can usually count on receiving several items per box that may include treats, toys, or supplements. Monthly subscriptions are the most common with some services offering more or less frequency or the option to buy a single box.
Below I’ve listed the subscription services I was able to find for our non-dog and cat pets. Be sure to visit the service’s website for specifics of that particular service.

Awesome list! I have not heard of most of these. I have had a RatPak before and thought it was pretty cool.
Thanks Ann! While I was researching I was surprised at how many there are. I love how the internet makes stuff like this possible.
It’s very cool that there are subscription boxes for unique pets other than dogs and cats. After all, doesn’t every pet deserve a special treat? Thanks for sharing!
Yes they do!
I’d read about the box for rats from Ann Staub but it’s surprising how many other boxes are out there for small pets. I’ll bet there are boxes for horses and big pets too. We’ll have to remember this since I keep axing for a pet.
There are boxes for horses! I didn’t include them because they are a little out of the scope of my site.
I would’ve never thought of looking into this! Years ago, I had a rabbit and it seemed difficult to find things he’d enjoy – you go to any pet store and there are aisles and aisles of stuff for dogs and cats … but not much for other small animals beyond the basics.
The pet store stuff is very disappointing. It’s nice to have an alternative!
I had no idea that there are subscription boxes for so many types of animals! I don’t have any birds anymore, but if I did, I would definitely get a bird box for them. My birds loved their toys and treats.
I wasn’t sure I would find many subscription box choices when I began researching, but there are more options than I expected.
I had NO idea there were subscription boxes for animals other than dogs! I’m really excited about this! I have some friends with small pets and a bird so I think this might be a really nice gift for the holidays.
It would be a great gift idea!
