About their company

PupJoy is a Chicago-based company with over 200 employees that offers subscription boxes and other individual products.

It was founded by two pet owners named Bill Wilkins and Dustin McAdams who were frustrated with the lack of options at large retail stores and online delivery services.

They created PupJoy and focused on safe and high quality toys and treats that were catered to the specific needs of individual dogs.

In addition to PupJoy’s build your own delivery model, they also have a full shop selling toys, treats (including with CBD), food toppers, bully sticks, beds, pet supplies, single boxes, and reflective gear.

They also offer a VIP program for $30/year where you get free shipping and exclusive pricing.
