If your pup has already decided the crinkling sound of wrapping paper means “snack for me?”, the Milk-Bone 12 Days of Woof-Mas Dog Treat Advent Calendar might be the only way to keep the holiday hype contained to one treat a day. Behind each of the 12 punch-out doors is a rotating lineup of Milk-Bone classics: crunchy red-and-green biscuits, MaroSnacks made with real bone marrow, and dipped treats coated in a vanilla yogurt–style layer that basically smells like dessert your dog is absolutely not allowed to steal from the counter.

For some pups, though, patience is not part of the season. One reviewer wrote, “Olive would stomp on the package and use her tongue to open the flap. She looked forward to her treat every day and I will order again for next year.” Another shopper said the concept of one-per-day never stood a chance: “He could smell the treats through the box and plastic wrap and it was impossible for him to not see the whole set as one giant treat.”

Milk-Bone 12 Days of Woof-Mas Advent Calendar

Even in multi-dog households, people say it still works — just with a little sibling rivalry sprinkled in. One buyer said they used the cute dog advent calendar as a countdown to their dog’s birthday and noted, “The only downside is that I have four dogs and there’s just one treat per day, which made sharing a bit tricky — but they didn’t seem to mind waiting for their turn!”

The advent calendar itself is cute enough to sit next to the human advent ones, but yes, it’s cardboard — so placement matters. If your dog thinks “chew through obstacles” is an Olympic sport, maybe don’t display it at eye level unless you want all 12 days to begin immediately.

Still, most shoppers say the variety keeps dogs locked in and the daily ritual becomes part of the household countdown. As one review put it, “Milk-Bone is always a good quality treat for our dogs. This advent calendar gets everyone — especially our precious pups — into the holiday mood!”

So if your dog has main-character energy and absolutely needs their own holiday moment, this is the kind of chaos that feels cute, intentional, and only slightly chewed on. Why not grab a set (or two, let’s be real) of the Milk-Bone 12 Days of Woof-Mas Advent Calendar and give your pup a lil holiday magic?
