DIY Advent Calendar for Dogs and Cats
Safe filler ideas
- Single training treats (small and low-calorie)
- A new tennis ball
- Rope toy
- Catnip mouse
- Wand toy (supervised use)
- Dental chew sized for your dog
- Note: “Extra-long walk”
- Note: “New route to explore”
- Note: “Brushing and cuddle session”
Never include
Chocolate, grapes or raisins, anything with xylitol, cooked bones, onions or garlic, or string, ribbon and tinsel (which cats especially may swallow).
Tips
Keep treats to under about 10% of your pet's daily calories and store the calendar out of reach; dogs can smell treats through cardboard.
