10 Best Pet Advent Calendars for Dogs and Cats

This popular pet advent calendar comes with 24 freeze-dried treats for pups of all sizes to enjoy. Behind each window is a different kind of tasty morsel — including cheesy peanut butter bears, chicken pot pie cookies, bacon puffs — all made from natural ingredients in Washington state. Plus, each treat is individually wrapped, so nothing goes stale if you're buying it months ahead of Christmas.

While most advent calendars — including pet advent calendars —feature 12 surprises for 12 days, this one showcases 14. Inside, you'll find 14 windows to open and 10 premium quality dog treats and 4 fun toys. Each window also shows ingredients, so you'll know what you're giving your pooch.

Perfect for adventurous cats who love to try new things, you'll find a variety of 3-ounce cans of Purina Fancy Feast Wet Food behind 20 of the 24 windows. The other four contain treat boxes that look like little presents, in two different delicious flavors for your kitty.

Instead of lords a-leaping and ladies dancing, this advent calendar features a different popular dog breed for each of the 12 days of Christmas. Inside, your pup will find a dozen protein-packed chews, a mix of twist sticks and kabobs made with real beef hide, pork hide, duck, chicken liver and more. Appropriate for all ages and types of dogs according to the brand, reviewers say they've given these treats to breeds ranging in size from chihuahuas to Saint Bernards.

You won't find an advent calendar with more treats than this one! It comes with 73 grain-free salmon-and-sweet potato snacks for your cat (each of the 25 days includes multiple holiday-shaped pieces packed with nutritious omega-3 fatty acids and DHA). There's also a version for dogs!

If this advent calendar's 24 hand-decorated peanut butter dog treats aren't enough to excite you and your pooch, it also plays festive holiday tunes! The snacks are made with dog-safe oats, applesauce, cinnamon, and peanuts.

If you want your small dog to avoid rawhide, opt for this advent calendar filled with 24 easy-to-digest, rawhide-free chews made of real chicken and vegetables. The pint-size chews, which include sweet potato mini bones, mini candy canes and mini chicken-wrapped sticks, are also designed to keep your pup's teeth healthy. While many reviewers said their dogs loved these treats, one negative is that the candy cane treats come wrapped in plastic, meaning you'll have to open them for your dog first.

Your cat will go wild for this advent calendar filled with catnip and cat toys, including festive mice and feather toys, catnip-filled plush toys, and a mylar ball.

Best for smaller dog breeds, this advent calendar is filled with plenty of cute toys for your pup to play with, including a two-inch tennis ball, knotted ropes, and a crinkle-and-squeak Santa.

If you want to fill your own advent calendar with your pet's favorite treats, you'll need a reusable one that you can use year after year. With this highly rated Etsy pick, you can incorporate 24 small snacks or toys of your choosing. It can also be personalized with your pet's name. It even lights up so you can display it as decor.
