"There is a limited range of treats and toys available from supermarkets and regular pet stores so we are bringing something different straight to people's doors."
Bow Wow Boxes range in price from $28.95 to $38.95 and are shipped to customers on the 20th of each month. Themed boxes are also in the pipeline.
"We tried out a Halloween box that went down well and it included doggy treats called 'dead man's fingers'," Evans said.
"We will be doing special Christmas boxes for dogs and in the future we are looking at making up birthday and Easter versions as well."
An estimated 29 per cent of Kiwi households own dogs. Annually, dog owners spend $54 million on treats for their four-legged friends.
Bow Wow Box treats and toys are tested by chief quality controller Stig - an English Pointer - and delivery boxes can even be tailored for dogs with allergies.
"Dogs are no longer seen as something to be tied up in the backyard or stuck in an outdoors kennel," Evans said.
"These days, most dogs are in the home and are regarded as being part of the family. People want the best for them."
Christmas gifts for dogs are proving so popular that top Kiwi designer Karen Walker has sold out of most products from her stores already.
Items on offer from Walker's range include leather and coloured metal Critter Charm Dog Collars, costing $45-$55, and a matching leash at $60.
