Tips for Choosing the Best Advent Calendar for Your Pet

Consider your pet’s favorite things and any special dietary needs when choosing the best Advent calendar for them. If your dog or cat has food sensitivities, check the treat ingredients, reading all labels carefully. For feisty felines who love to play, a toy-based calendar might offer more lasting fun than one with daily treats.

Another consideration is whether you have multiple pets. If so, you should get more than one calendar, or look for calendars that offer more than one goody in each section.

Pay attention to the size of the toys and treats in any Advent calendar you choose to make sure they are appropriate for your pet. Giving your dog or cat items that are too big or too small can pose potential choking hazards and other safety issues.

Finally, make your choice quickly, because Advent calendars tend to sell out the closer to Christmas you get. (Although you can also find some good sales the closer you get, if you’re willing to risk it.)

If you’re not super focused on one specific calendar, you’ll have more flexibility. However, if you have your eye on a certain one, act fast to snag it in time.

Want to Make Your Own Advent Calendar?

But what should you do if you’re watching your budget extra-closely this holiday season, or you can’t find a store-bought calendar that suits your pet? You can always make a DIY Advent calendar for your furry friend, including treats, pet toys, and surprises that you know your pal will love.

Another fun option is to make an Advent calendar for the dog or cat parent in your life. For each day, include something that helps them pamper and care for their fur baby, whether it’s a new leash, fur control, or any other assorted pet products.
