![]() One, I see that a lot of dogs really do love the stuff that comes in a Bark Box and even though you're a dog might be just as happy to have a tennis ball stuck inside of a sock, at least the dog owner is being reminded to try new toys with the dog and try new treats with the dog on a regular basis. But I eventually came around for two big reasons. But I admit that I used to be sort of against it all only because it seemed to me like all of their toys were being marketed so that they'd be fun for the humans as opposed to really enjoyable for the dog. And the best part was the Bob Ross squirrel, a squirrel made to look like Bob Ross.Įverything they make is really cute and kitschy and cool. So my favorite one is the artist box that they had with treats called starry bites and a paint palette squeaky toy. Bark Boxes often have a theme and all the toys and treats that are in the box will go around this theme. In addition to wanting to talk about the space, I also wanted to talk to Carly about this kind of new sort of dog product she's created, which I would describe as dog products as human entertainment. So I was really excited to go there and have Carly give me a tour of the offices and I was eager to hear how they went about creating this especially dog-friendly workplace. So if you are a dog lover and you are looking for a job in New York City, this is the place to check out. I believe they now have three floors and they're going to have five floors or something plus a roof deck. There's an area that's gated off where dogs could play off leash and they're planning on expanding their offices in the next few months. And they're also all these different sort of like cubby- like areas where you can hang out with your dog. There are poop bags by the elevator and a dog treat dispenser by the elevator. There are big baskets full of dog toys at every corner of the office, pretty much. Every desk has room for a crate to go underneath it. I met Carly at Bark’s Canal Street office, which is full of dogs and the entire space is set up in such a way that the dogs were clearly a priority. It's a monthly subscription service that has been around for about six years and now has offices in New York City and in Columbus. Today I'm really excited to be talking to Carly Strife, who is one of the three co-founders of Bark, and if you haven't heard of Bark the company, you've probably heard of their best known product, which is called Bark Box. Podcast Episode 6: Let's talk about dogs in the workplace with Carly Strife from Bark If you like dogs and you like buying stuff, you are probably aware of this booming company, which is rumored to be going public sometime soon. Carly might be one of the coolest, most powerful, young female entrepreneurs in NYC. He kept me anchored in my day-to-day life, taught me responsibility, and gave me something to look forward to at the end of every day.Meet Carly Strife, COO of Bark. I had always been a dog lover, but I never owned one of my own. While studying mechanical engineering at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, I adopted my first dog, Cooper, a puggle. This lifelong dog lover explains why she can’t imagine doing anything else, and why Bark & Co will never include cats. Five years in, Strife is Bark & Co’s COO, managing the growth of the company, which has shipped more than 25 million products to dog people across the country. After working as a financial analyst, and then as one of Uber’s earliest hires, Strife co-founded Bark & Co, which encompasses BarkBox, a monthly treats-and-toys subscription service for dogs BarkShop, an online pet marketplace and BarkPost, a newsletter that includes original comedy content and curated dog cuteness from around the web. When Carly Strife isn’t home snuggling her three canine fur babies, she’s working hard to make the lives of dogs and their owners a little bit better. ![]()
