Frequently Asked Questions
To become a Barking Backer member, all you need to do is create an account and register your dog by visiting barkingbackers.com/register.
Your Barking Backer membership starts the day you create your account and register your dog. Membership options/benefits change year-to-year. You will remain a free Barking Backer member until your account is deleted. If you upgrade to the Annual Premium Membership, your premium benefits will be active until that year's membership ends or you delete your account. The current membership options begin April 2025 and end February 2026.
There are two membership options - free and premium. There is no cost associated with the 'Free' Barking Backer membership. The 'Premium' Barking Backer membership is annual and does come at a cost. The current cost of the April 2025 - February 2026 Premium Membership is $30.00 plus tax. Shipping is included.
Only one dog needs to have a Premium Membership for your whole household pack to have access to all benefits. But you can throw us a few bones and register each dog for a Premium Membership - it just means more goodies and treats for all! Each additional Premium Membership = one additional kit purchase.
Premium members receive a collectable dog tag, bucket hat, bowtie, Milk-Bone treats, Pet Supplies Plus lick mat and Embrace Pet Insurance Dog Emergency Kit all in a custom box. You'll also receive a Barking Backers digital membership certificate, entry into members-only sweepstakes, quarterly newsletters with four-legged content and offers, exclusive opportunity/experience for each members-only event, an opportunity for our “Dog of the Month” feature, and an invitation to 3 in-person events: Turf & Tails (June 2025 - Premium Members only!), Howl-O-Ween (October 2025), and Jingle Paws (December 2025).
