Dog Christmas Advent Calendar - 24 Days of Real Meat Treats

Dog Christmas Advent Calendar: 24 Days of Real Meat Treats for Dogs

Most dog advent calendars are packed with chicken, fillers, and ingredients you can't pronounce. Ours isn't. The Shades of Gray Dog Christmas Advent Calendar gives your dog 24 days of surprises, with real meat treats from five proteins, rabbit, elk, venison, beaver, and bison, plus our Waboose rabbit biscuits, in a mix of textures your dog will look forward to every morning.

Every calendar is made by hand at our facility on Alderville First Nation. No fillers, no artificial preservatives, nothing hidden. Just a little holiday excitement your dog can enjoy and you can feel good about.

Sound Familiar?

• "My dog has allergies, so store advent calendars are off the table." Ours has no chicken, no beef, no grain, and no fillers. Most days are a single-ingredient meat treat.
• "I read the ingredients on most calendars and put them back." Ours has five proteins, rabbit, elk, venison, beaver, and bison, plus our Waboose biscuits made with just chickpea flour, rabbit, and apple cider vinegar.
• "I want to try new proteins, but I don't want to buy five full bags." The calendar lets your dog taste all five in small amounts, so you'll know their favourite by Christmas.
• "I need a gift for someone whose dog has everything." A countdown of real meat treats is a gift the dog and the owner will both enjoy for 24 days.

Feeding Instructions

Open one door each day from December 1 to December 24 and give your dog the treat inside. Treats can be broken into smaller pieces for small dogs or puppies. As with any new treat, introduce slowly, supervise your dog, and make sure fresh water is available. Wash your hands after handling the freeze-dried treats, since they're raw.

Storage

Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. The treats are shelf-stable. Keep the calendar out of your dog's reach until it's time to open a door, because they will figure out what's inside.

Guaranteed Analysis

Guaranteed analysis varies by treat. See our individual elk, beaver, venison, rabbit, bison liver, and Waboose products for full details.

Dog Christmas Advent Calendar FAQ

Q: Is there a pet advent calendar specifically for dogs?
A: Yes. Our Dog Christmas Advent Calendar is made just for dogs, with 24 days of real meat treats and our Waboose rabbit biscuits. We also make a Cat Christmas Advent Calendar, so every pet in the house can have their own countdown.

Q: Are dog advent calendars safe?
A: Most are, but check the ingredients. Some calendars are filled with treats that have long ingredient lists, artificial colours, or added sugar. Ours has five proteins and our three-ingredient Waboose biscuits, with nothing artificial. As with any new treat, introduce them slowly and supervise your dog.

Q: Is there a dog advent calendar without chicken, grain, or fillers?
A: Yes, this one. There's no chicken, no beef, no grain, no fillers, and no artificial preservatives. 20 of the 24 days are single-ingredient meat treats, and the other 4 days are our Waboose biscuits, made with just organic chickpea flour, rabbit, and organic apple cider vinegar.

Q: What's inside the Dog Christmas Advent Calendar?
A: 24 days of treats, one door per day, with each treat appearing on 4 days: Elk Rolls, Beaver Rolls, Venison Strips, Freeze-Dried Rabbit, Freeze-Dried Bison Liver, and Waboose Biscuits.

Q: How big are the treats?
A: The calendar holds 285 g of treats across 24 doors, so each day is a small daily surprise, not a meal. Some doors hold a quick bite and others a longer-lasting treat. For large dogs, many owners pair the calendar with a full bag of their dog's favourite.

Q: Is the advent calendar suitable for dogs with allergies?
A: Most of the treats are single-ingredient, and all five proteins are novel proteins that many sensitive dogs do well with. The Waboose biscuits also contain chickpea flour and apple cider vinegar. Because the calendar includes five proteins and the biscuits, if your dog has a known allergy to any of them, you may prefer one of our single-protein treats instead.

Q: Is it safe for small dogs and puppies?
A: Yes. Treats break easily into smaller pieces for small breeds and puppies. Introduce new treats slowly and supervise your dog while they enjoy them.

Q: Are the treats raw or cooked?
A: The Freeze-Dried Rabbit and Freeze-Dried Bison Liver are raw. We freeze-dry them from raw meat, so wash your hands after handling. The Elk Rolls, Beaver Rolls, Venison Strips, and Waboose Biscuits are not raw. Everything in the calendar is shelf-stable.

Q: When will my calendar ship?
A: Calendars ship between November 15 and 30 so they arrive fresh for December 1. Quantities are limited, so we recommend ordering early.

Q: Can I order an advent calendar as a gift?
A: Absolutely. It's one of the easiest gifts for any dog lover, whether that's family, a friend, your dog walker, or your groomer. Order a few and add a treat bag to reach free shipping over $100.

Q: Is there a cat version?
A: Yes. Our Cat Christmas Advent Calendar has 24 days of single-ingredient treats made for cats, so every pet in the house gets a countdown.

Q: Where does the meat come from?
A: We raise our rabbit ourselves in Ontario, without antibiotics. Our elk, venison, and bison are farmed in Canada and federally inspected, and our beaver is ethically harvested in Ontario by a licensed trapper. Every calendar is made by hand at our facility on Alderville First Nation.
