Get your first BarkBox for $5 with this Valentine’s Day deal — because puppy love is the best type of love

TwitterFacebook

Don’t let the corny marketing fool you — Valentine’s Day is about much more than mushy romantic love.

BarkBox wants help you celebrate the puppy love in your life (after all, your dog is the one who keeps you and your bottle of wine company when the romance thing gets ruff). When you sign up between now and Feb. 14, new subscribers can get their first month for $5 in the form of a limited edition Valentine’s Day box.

This holiday BarkBox is so on theme, it hurts: It’s filled with chewable boxers, a plush rose, squeak-hearts (get it?), and a heart filled with “chocolate” tennis balls that, unlike pot edibles, won’t hurt your good boy. Just buy the human versions of the stuff for yourself and you’ve got a makeshift date night that’s way comfier than an awkward Tinder date. Read more…

How to watch the Puppy Bowl and Kitten Bowl

TwitterFacebook

One of the biggest sports months of the year is almost here, and you know what that means:

It’s time for the Puppy Bowl and the Kitten Bowl!

Cat people and dog people alike can come together to appreciate fur babies of all kinds — as well as the world record of most animal puns used in a single hour, probably — thanks to Animal Planet and the Hallmark channel’s super cute programming that’s meant to be an antidote to the Super Bowl on Feb. 3.

If you don’t have cable or even a TV, don’t worry — we dug around to find the streaming services that offer Animal Planet, Hallmark Channel, or both. Just sign up for a free trial, soak in the cuteness, and cancel before you’re charged. It’s the purrfect plan.  Read more…

The ultimate pup party video

Ad Content by Canon

What do you get when you combine pancake frisbees, pups, and plenty of photo opportunities? The biggest pup party of the year, brought to you by Canon and Mashable. We threw a photo party bash for any and every dog in Brooklyn, inviting them—and their owners, of course—to our Williamsburg space for a day full of playing, portraits, and pancakes. While their pups caught pancake frisbees, played with free toys, and had their glamour shots taken, our human guests checked out the Canon EOS Rebel T7i—the camera that made our party possible. Watch the video to get in on the fun, and then check out the Canon EOS Rebel T7i to capture perfect moments. Read more…

With hundreds of panels, screenings, and networking events (yikes!) to choose from, it’s easy to find yourself exhausted and overwhelmed at SXSW.

Enter: The 2018 Mashable House.

This year, Mashable invites you to indulge in the nostalgia. Why? Because as Ferris Bueller once said, “Life moves pretty fast. If you don’t stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.”

Celebrities were actually given ‘consolation puppies’ at the Grammys

TwitterFacebook

Okay, so instead of a prestigious award they got a puppy.

At the Grammys on Sunday, host James Corden didn’t just dish out those little golden gramophones. “Consolation puppies” were handed out to nominees who didn’t win their category.

Jerry Seinfeld (who was nominated for Best Comedy Album) was given a puppy called Roxy and Corden described her as “a biter”.

Many were happy to see the pups at the event.
