A festive countdown for canine companions, this product typically consists of a numbered cardboard structure with small compartments, each containing a treat. These daily rewards offer a fun and engaging way to mark the days leading up to a holiday, often Christmas. Variations exist, offering different treat sizes, flavors, and calendar designs.
These seasonal products offer several advantages. They provide a structured way to deliver small, manageable treats, potentially reducing overfeeding during a time often associated with increased indulgence. The ritual of opening a new compartment each day can strengthen the bond between pet and owner. Furthermore, the anticipation and reward system can enrich a dog’s experience of the holiday season. While the exact origins are unclear, the concept likely borrows from the human tradition of advent calendars, adapting it for canine enjoyment.
