The other calendars, one by one
BARK Winter Wooferland: good if your dog wants toys too
16 treats and 8 plush toys, so a third of the days are something to play with. The listing describes squeaky toys with crinkle and rope features, and biscuit cookie treats made with applesauce, honey and peanuts. $49.99 at Costco; we did not find it on Amazon. Pick it for a dog who plays more than he eats; pick ours if the treats are the point.
Wufers Snow Globe Singing Advent Calendar: good if you want a musical box
24 small, hand-decorated holiday cookies in a box that plays music when you open it, for $49.95. The brand says it uses locally sourced natural ingredients, but its product page does not list full ingredients, so check with the brand if your dog has allergies.
Disney Table Scraps Advent Calendar: good for soft treats
25 days of soft jerky-style treats in 4 holiday recipes, made in the USA with no wheat, corn or soy, for $24.99. A sensible pick for older dogs or dogs who will not eat crunchy treats.
Frisco Holiday Advent Calendar for Small Dogs: good if you want no treats at all
12 toys behind punch-out squares, including plush, squeaky, tennis ball and rope toys, for $24.99. It covers 12 days, not the full countdown, and is recommended for small breeds. Sold at Chewy, not on Amazon.
Milk-Bone 12 Days of Woofmas: good as a stocking stuffer
12 days, each with a MaroSnacks treat or a Milk-Bone Holiday Biscuit, 2.85 oz in total, $9.99 list price. It covers half of December, so think of it as an extra rather than the main gift. Its Amazon listing showed as unavailable when we checked.
Country Kitchen Holiday Dual Bites: good for a full countdown on a budget
25 days of crunchy biscuits, chicken bites, chips, cutlets and jerky, 6.7 oz in total, with real chicken listed as the main ingredient. $12.99 list price at Chewy, the lowest price for a full 25-day countdown on this list.
How to choose a dog Advent calendar
- Treats, toys or both. A dog treat Advent calendar suits a dog who lives for snacks; a toy calendar suits a dog on a diet; BARK mixes both.
- Ask how the treats are made. Ours are handmade in small batches with human-grade ingredients. If that matters to you, it narrows the list fast.
- Look for variety. Several kinds of treats keep the countdown fun. Ours has 3: bones, truffles and macarons.
- Count the days. A 12-day calendar covers half of December. For a treat every day, look for 24 or 25.
- Think about the box. If it is a gift, the box is half the present.
- Read the ingredients. If your dog has an allergy, compare ingredient lists before you buy.
- Order early. Some calendars sell out before December. Ours ships in November, so reserve it now.
We could not find 2026 listings for some calendars sold in past years, such as the Trader Joe's and Bocce's Bakery dog calendars, so we left them out rather than guess at this year's price.
Frequently asked questions
What is the best dog Advent calendar for 2026?
Our pick is the Bonne et Filou Dog Treats Advent Calendar: 24 treats handmade in small batches with human-grade ingredients, in 3 kinds, in a Versailles-inspired box, and featured in CNN Underscored's best dog Advent calendars. We make it, so we are biased. If you want toys as well as treats, BARK Winter Wooferland mixes both.
When should I buy a dog Advent calendar?
October or early November. Most calendars start on December 1, and some sell out before then. Ours is a preorder, with shipping beginning November 2026.
Are dog Advent calendars safe for dogs?
The treat calendars on this list are made for dogs. Never give a dog a chocolate Advent calendar made for people. Count the daily treat as part of your dog's treat allowance, and check ingredients if your dog has allergies.
Is a $70 dog Advent calendar worth it?
If you only want the cheapest countdown, no. If you want handmade treats, human-grade ingredients and a box that works as a gift, that is exactly where the difference goes.
What is inside the Bonne et Filou Advent calendar?
24 handmade treats: 12 dog bones, 8 dog truffles and 4 dog macarons, made in small batches with locally sourced, human-grade ingredients.
How much is the Costco BARK dog Advent calendar?
$49.99 at Costco when we checked on October 14, 2026, for 16 treats and 8 plush toys over 24 days. We did not find it on Amazon.
Which Advent calendar is best for small dogs or puppies?
Look for small or soft treats and follow the age and size guidance on the box. The Disney Table Scraps calendar has soft treats, and the Frisco calendar has toys only and is recommended for small breeds. If your puppy is very young or on a special diet, ask your vet first.
Are there Advent calendars for dogs with toys instead of treats?
Yes. The Frisco Holiday Advent Calendar for Small Dogs has 12 toys and no treats, and BARK Winter Wooferland mixes 8 plush toys with 16 treats.
Where can I buy a dog Advent calendar?
Amazon, Chewy and Costco carry most of the calendars on this list, and some brands sell direct. The Bonne et Filou calendar is sold on bonneetfilou.com as a preorder.
Can I make a DIY dog Advent calendar?
Yes. Fill a 24-pocket fabric calendar or 24 small boxes with treats your dog already eats, 1 a day. It costs less, but you lose the surprise of new treats and a box made to give as a gift.
