BARK × Dunkin' Holiday Collab Returns: Fourth-Year Partnership Drops Custom Dog Toys with a Heart

The holiday season is getting even more tail-wagging with BARK and Dunkin’ teaming up again. This year marks the fourth consecutive collaboration between the dog toy giant and America’s beloved coffee chain, bringing limited-edition dog toys designed to delight pups while supporting an important charitable cause.

What’s on the Menu for Dogs This Holiday?

Dogs can now get their paws on three custom toys inspired by Dunkin’ favorites:

Sausage, Egg and Cheese Dog Toy – Perfect for dogs who love a hearty breakfast. Available at participating Dunkin’ restaurants for a $13 donation, these toys are packed with crinkle sounds, squeakers, and a tuggable t-shirt rope for pups who go hard on playtime.

Iced Coffee Combo Dog Toy – The ultimate caffeine fan’s companion. Fetch one for a $15 donation, featuring the same satisfying crinkle-and-squeak experience that keeps dogs entertained for hours.

Mocha Latte Dog Toy with a Twist – This year’s showstopper comes in Dunkin’s iconic holiday cup design. For $15, your pup gets the toy plus Super Chewer Munchkins™ Donut Hole Treats (with tough rubber cores for serious chewers). Bonus: there’s a surprise toy hidden inside the Mocha Latte. Available exclusively online through bark.co.

The Real Story: Where Your Donations Go

Here’s where it gets meaningful. All proceeds benefit the Dunkin’ Joy in Childhood Foundation, which focuses on bringing joy to kids battling hunger or illness. The partnership’s flagship program, Dogs for Joy, has been particularly impactful—facility dogs now operate in 41 children’s hospitals across 30 locations, bringing comfort and support to hundreds of thousands of young patients.

Since the BARK and Dunkin’ partnership launched in 2020, their collaboration has raised nearly $7 million for these programs. Those numbers aren’t just impressive—they represent real dogs in hospitals doing life-changing work: teaching kids to take medication, keeping them calm during medical procedures, and providing emotional support when they need it most.

Why This Matters Beyond the Toy Aisle

Dave Stangle, VP of Brand Marketing at BARK, explained the vision: “We’re always looking for ways to tap into cultural moments that resonate with dog parents. Our dogs are part of our daily rituals—the morning Dunkin’ run is as much a part of American dog culture as it is human culture. This partnership lets us celebrate that shared love while supporting a cause that creates real impact.”

The Dunkin’ Joy in Childhood Foundation has distributed over $49 million to hundreds of charities nationwide since 2006, making this BARK-Dunkin’ collaboration a meaningful addition to their broader mission.

The Bottom Line

It’s a straightforward win: dog parents get adorable, functional toys their pups will actually love, and kids in hospitals get facility dogs trained to improve their health outcomes. The BarkBox Dunkin’ collection is available starting today, so if you’re looking for a holiday gift that does double duty—fun for your dog and impact for kids in need—this one’s worth the donation.
