December’s almost here, and the dog treat advent calendar game is strong this year. Whether you’re all-in on gourmet goodies or just want something fun and easy, there’s a calendar for every kind of dog — and every kind of dog person. We’ve rounded up our top picks for 2025, all still available to order (for now).
Best Overall: Rover Pet Products Doggy Christmas Advent Calendar
RRP: $99.95 at Rover Pet Products
If you’re after an advent calendar that genuinely feels special, this is it. Made by Lulu’s Kitchen, this box is packed with 24 days of premium treats – we’re talking crocodile jerky, green-lipped mussels, lamb lung, goat tripe, and more. Honestly, it reads more like a dog-friendly charcuterie board than a gimmick.
It’s not just the treats that impress. The packaging is plastic-free and beautifully illustrated, and 20% of profits were donated last year – with the same promise this year. Whether you’re buying for your own pup or gifting it to a fellow dog tragic, this one delivers on quality, heart, and festive flair.
Best Premium: Laila and Me Dog Advent Calendar
If your dog is firmly in the “spoiled and proud” category, this is the calendar to beat. It’s been a sellout favourite four years running, and for good reason. Inside you’ll find 24 treats from Laila and Me’s high-quality range: a mix of freeze-dried and dehydrated goodies like wild boar, roo jerky, sardines, and venison.
Best for Bonus Fun: Pet Botanica Christmas Advent Calendar
This one brings treats and a sense of humour. Alongside 24 days of Aussie-made bites (like croc crunchies, roo crisps, and chicken hearts), you’ll find a Naughty or Nice checklist – because someone’s gotta keep Santa Paws informed.
Most Wholesome: The Golden Bone Bakery Dog Advent Calendar
RRP: $84.95 at The Golden Bone Bakery
If you want to add a little heart to your holiday shopping, this calendar is packed with it. Behind each door, your dog will find one of Golden Bone Bakery’s Superfood Range biscuits: think lamb & mint, fresh breath bites, and a festive Christmas crumble made with oats, apples and cinnamon.
There’s also a daily quote to keep things sweet, and $2 from every purchase goes to the RSPCA Queensland.
Best Budget-Friendly: Pet Circle Dog Advent Calendar
Want to join the advent fun without dropping big dollars? This cheerful little calendar has you covered. It includes 24 meaty Aussie-made treats – beef, chicken, roo – and comes in a festive, ready-to-gift box.
It’s not flashy, but it’s fun, affordable, and perfect for dogs (or people) who love a tradition without needing all the bells and whistles.
A final note
Many of these calendars have already started selling out, and shipping cut-offs are creeping closer. If you’ve got a four-legged friend on your Nice List this year, don’t wait. The countdown starts soon.
