Do it yourself
Cancel BarkBox yourself
TLDR: Sign in at barkbox.com and cancel on your account page, or email happy@barkbox.com, by the first of the month after this period. A 6 or 12 month plan keeps charging each month until that commitment ends, and money already paid is not refunded.
Cancel in your account
You can still sign in. The terms call this the way to cancel on the site.
- 01Go to barkbox.com and sign in.
- 02Open your account page.
- 03Cancel the subscription there.
- 04Do it by the first day of the month after your current subscription period ends.
Turning off renewal is not the same as finishing a 6 or 12 month plan. The terms say those plans keep charging each month through the end of that period, even after you cancel.
Cancel through the Happy team
You cannot log in, or the account page will not finish it. The terms say to contact the Happy team through the contact information on the site.
- 01Email happy@barkbox.com.
- 02Give your name and the email on the account.
- 03Say you want the subscription cancelled, and ask them to confirm it in writing.
How to know it worked
- The terms do not describe a cancellation number. Keep the Happy team's reply, or a screenshot of the account page after you cancel.
- A request that arrives after the first day of the month following a subscription period applies to the next period.
- The privacy policy says deactivating an account does not delete the information on their servers.
Watch out for
- A monthly plan keeps going until you cancel. If you cancel before the period ends, the terms say you are still charged for the rest of that period.
- A 6 or 12 month plan is a commitment. You are charged each month during that plan even if you already cancelled. The plan also renews for the same length of time if you miss the cutoff.
- Cancel by the first day of the month after the current period ends. A later request rolls to the following period.
- The privacy policy lists (833) 442-2275 and privacy@barkbox.com for questions about that policy. That is not the Happy team cancel line.
BarkBox refunds
- The terms say BARK has no obligation to refund amounts already paid when an account ends.
- They also say they do not provide refunds when a price drops or a promotion starts.
- Cancelling a 6 or 12 month plan does not stop the monthly charges still due for that plan.
