Best pet Advent calendar for furry friends big and small

The Lily's Kitchen Advent Calendar for Dogs will perfectly fit into your pup's daily routine during December. In a change to previous calendars by the brand, they've swapped baked bites for meaty treats that are sure to get your pooch's mouth-watering. It includes Turkey Bites with Cranberries, which are a grain-free recipe, Chicken & Quinoa Bites that feature a gentle dash of ginger for that festive touch, and Chicken and Beef training treats to grab their attention.

Reviewed by Rosie Floyd: "Gina just couldn't get enough of these meaty treat inside. Now she's getting older, she can't quite crunch biscuits like they used to, but these meat bites were just the right texture for her to get her teeth into. I liked how there was more than one treat behind each window, so I think this would be a great option for homes with multiple pooches as they can share one calendar and nobody will be missing out."

If you're used to paying 'the cheese tax' to your beloved pooch every time you prepare a meal, you need to get this Pooch + Mutt Cheese Fondue Dog Advent Calendar. Behind every door, your hound will find a meaty cheese wedge treat to chomp on. They're packed with goodness like collagen for healthy skin and coat and probiotics for healthy digestion so they'll be doing your furry friend some good each day. Plus, the recipe is grain-free!

Reviewed by Rosie Floyd: "If your pup is a cheese lover, they won't be able to keep their paws off this calendar. Gina is scared of cardboard so she won't usually stick around when I'm opening up an Advent calendar, but when I got this one out, the smell lured her closer. I will say the cheese smell is quite strong so it might not be your favourite, but your dog won't be able to get enough."

Just like human Advent calendars have evolved from just being chocolate, the Pets at Home Christmas Giant Treat Advent Calendar For Dogs isn't just about food.

As there's so much variety inside, there's something for every adult dog's preference.

Reviewed by Rosie Floyd: "As a pet owner, it's really refreshing to have an Advent calendar for my dogs that isn't all about food. Don't get me wrong, there are still plenty of tasty treats to get your dog's tail wagging but it's nice to see that there are toys and accessories included too. After all, human Advent calendars are moving on from just being about chocolate so why shouldn't pet Advent calendars too?"

Reviewed by Rosie Floyd: "My fluffy doggy nephew, Teddie, has a sensitive stomach so we have to be careful with what we're feeding him to make sure he doesn't end up poorly. Despite his dietary requirements, we don't want him to miss out on the fun of daily treats that other dogs in the family get to enjoy over Christmas. Grains seem to be one of his triggers so we were very pleased to find the treats inside the Scrumbles dog Advent calendar are all made with a grain-free recipe.

Reviewed by Natalie Corner: "Dash was more than delighted with his Tails.com advent calendar, he got a whiff of those tasty turkey treats and tried to break open the whole thing in one go!

The size of the star-shaped treats were really impressive not tiny scraps very substantial chunky biscuits, and the double dose of dog paw shaped biscuits for Christmas Day will go down perfectly!"
