The past few years I have purchased an advent calendar for Biscuit. I LOVE to keep the same traditions that I loved for my dog. This year, instead of purchasing an advent calendar, I created my very own DIY Dog Advent Calendar! It is SUPER EASY, Affordable and REUSABLE every year! This ensures fresh and HEALTHY treats for my pooch!

I used pawTreats in my calendar. They are only 3 ingredients and 7 calories! They fit perfectly in a mini muffin pan!

I created my first DIY Dog Advent Calendar with gift tags I bought for just $1 at my local dollar tree, but if you want to create a CUSTOM masterpiece with your own photos, I have created a template to use! I also created a downloadable template that you can just print off yourself, fetch both of them in my Library! Let’s go create some HOWLIDAY Memories!

My personal calendar for 2021 using the FREE Template in my library.
