Best Advent Calendars for Dogs 2022
Back
Anyone who has a dog knows that, like any pet, they really are a member of the family in their own right. They have certainly helped us a lot this year offering unwavering support and unconditional love (read our article on How our dogs saved us during lockdown). What better way of thanking them, and showing our reciprocal love, appreciation and adoration than including them in the Christmas festivities. There are many ways that you can do this, but one thing that you can do to spread the joy throughout the whole festive period, is to get them an advent calendar for dogs.
It's true that whether your dog is completely oblivious to the festivities or a full on dog Christmasist (climbing the Christmas tree anyone?), these daily treats to make them feel the love throughout December are sure to put a big smile on their face.
What are the different types of Advent Calendar for Dogs?
Like advent calendars for humans there are a few different types of advent calendar to choose from for your treasured pooch. Many of the advent calendars on the market contain treats and are designed for one off use, these come in all sorts of fun designs, as well as being cheaper than advent calendars that are designed to be used for more than one year. However, if you are interested in sustainability (as well as value for money) you might choose to invest in an advent calendar that is refillable and becomes part of your Christmas traditions every year, this also gives you the ability to choose one which fits with your own style, colour scheme of your other Christmas decor or to more carefully select your dog's favourite treats. Other options on offer are to go for individual treats for your dog and spreading them out so they have one per day, you can get festive date pins and stickers to help you with this. Finally, if you are feeling super creative you could always have a go at making your own advent calendar.
As with all things dog there is a huge range of different treats that you can find inside advent calendars so consider what flavours your dog likes best, will they prefer their favourite treats or something different for a change, or do you want to go super indulgent. There are also many healthy dog treat versions too if your dog is on a diet, there is still no reason for them to miss out. You can also go the route of rewarding them differently, by giving them extra love and cuddles, taking them for a nice long walk, teaching them a trick or buying them a new toy.
Here is The Good Kennel Guide's Favourite Advent Calendars for Dogs this year.
