Make your own advent calendar for your dog
Creating a custom dog advent calendar can be a fun and rewarding project! You can purchase reusable fabric or cardboard advent calendars, which can then be filled with your choice of treats each day.
Alternatively, you can explore options on platforms like Yappy or Etsy, where you can find unique and personalised advent calendars designed for dogs.
When filling your calendar, consider using a mix of your dog's favourite treats, including homemade biscuits or store-bought chews. This allows you to control the ingredients and tailor the treats to your dog's taste, it’s also great for dogs with sensitive tummies or specific dietary requirements.
Not only does making your own advent calendar add a personal touch, but it also ensures that your pet enjoys something special every day leading up to Christmas while accommodating their health needs!
