Best pet Advent calendars for daily Christmas treats

The crème de la crème of Advent calendars for dogs this year comes from Pets at Home. Their Christmas Giant Treat Advent Calendar For Dogs isn't just filled with tasty treats (although there are still plenty of those inside!). You'll also find different types of toys including a plush Christmas tree and a tennis ball, festive fashion accessories, such as a bandana and a collar slider, as well as vouchers you can spend in store on fashion and put towards a treatment at the Groom Room.

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?"

This advent calendar regularly goes in and out of stock due to its popularity so be sure to scoop it up quickly when it comes back!

If you've been greeted by stinky doggy breath when your pup has gone to give you a slobbery kiss, you need the Pooch & Mutt Dental Stick Advent Calendar as it will help your dog keep their teeth and gums looking and feeling healthy and fresh throughout December. It features an individually wrapped dental stick behind each door, in one of four flavours.

This year, Pooch & Mutt have two Advent calendars available so next up on our list is the Pooch & Mutt Cheese Fondue Advent Calendar. This one is a must if your hound is a fiend for cheese and expects you to pay 'the cheese tax' every time you simply open the fridge. Each one of the meaty cheese wedge treats is grain-free and they're all packed with collagen for healthy skin and coat plus probiotics for healthy digestion.

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."

In a change from previous Lily's Kitchen Advent calendars, the brand has replaced baked treats with savoury, meaty delights that are bound to make your furry friend's mouth water with excitement. The Lily's Kitchen Advent Calendar for Dogs now contains grain-free Turkey Bites with Cranberries, Festive-tasting Chicken & Quinoa Bites, and Chicken and Beef training treats that are sure to grab their attention at home or out on walks. Your pooch will look forward to having this Advent calendar part of their daily routine come December.

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."

With the Scrumbles Advent calendar in paw, your canine companion's countdown to the holiday season will be brimming with excitement and joy. These delectable all-natural treats in this Scrumbles calendar are not only tasty but they're designed to support your beloved furry friend's overall well-being as they contain essential prebiotics. The recipe for the Gnashers dental sticks, chicken nibbles and calming nibbles are all grain-free so they'll be gentle on the tum for pups with grain allergies or intolerances.

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. Teddie gobbled the treats down in no time at all so he's as much of a fan of this Advent calendar as his owners!"

These deliciously healthy treats are 100 per cent natural so you know you're giving your pup only the very best ingredients.

Reviewed by Rosie Floyd: "An Advent calendar that includes more than one treat per window is a win in my book, and with my dogs, too. It's also good that the treats are wrapped behind each door so they'll stay fresh throughout the whole of December. I feel like they're a good size for small dogs, but large dogs will enjoy them too."

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! I was particularly impressed with the cardboard packaging which meant it will be easily recyclable (and very easy for Dash to tear into!). 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!"

Reviewed by Hannah Mellin: "My three cats are always on the hunt for more food/treats so I couldn't wait to try out the Lily's Kitchen advent calendar with them. First of all, I loved the packaging, simple and classic and a proper Christmas countdown. Full of grain-free and fresh treats, they got a selection of chicken and fish treats to choose from each day and I loved that there wasn't just one treat behind the door - there were four!
