28 calendars, 26 new for 2026, most of them 24 doors. Full stats
Advent calendars for pets are treat boxes with numbered windows, and 26 of the 28 here are new for 2026: Lily's Kitchen's dog and cat calendars, the two that print a full composition; Pets at Home's own-label pair, Ruff's Recipes for dogs at seven pounds and Seriously Good for cats at four, both with real meat first; and BarkBox's Howly Jowly Holidays box from the United States. The weight is the thing to read before the price: 25 to 90 grams across 24 doors is a gram or three a day, a treat for a terrier and a crumb for a Labrador. The numbers band says what a door costs.

One for each way of asking. Every row clears the same bar — rated 4 out of 5 or better by an editor, or where none has scored it, an editors’ pick or contents worth more than the box — and nothing older than last season. How we review

- Step 01
Match the doors to the days
Every calendar here has 24 doors: a 24-door box opens one a day from 1 December to Christmas Eve. There is no shorter option in this category, so if it will arrive late, plan on opening the missed doors in order and carrying on. Every start date
- Step 02
Know which season you are buying
26 of the 28 here are 2026 editions, and 1 is last season's — still sold, often discounted, and with the contents already on the page. The 1 older than that are listed for the record, not for buying. A brand's page keeps every edition together, so check whether the box you are looking at is this year's before you compare prices.
- Step 03
Start from the ones we have opened
3 of the 28 here carry an editors' pick — the chip above the grid narrows the shelf to those — and 26 have a written score. Those are the boxes somebody on this site has actually judged. The rest are listed because they exist, not because we are recommending them; being on this page is not a verdict. How we review

The best value among the calendars here that we have rated this season: contents worth 1.8× the price, rated 4.5/5, £35, 24 doors. A cat calendar that actually plays as well as feeds: seven toys including a laser chaser and a marabou wand, alongside full packs of Churu, Applaws, Lily's Kitchen and Seriously Good. Lickables take a lot of the food doors, which suits most cats and bores a few.

How each one is countedEvery figure is computed from the records at build time and says how many it is drawn from. Door price is the price on the box over its doors; the value multiple is what the contents come to at retail over that price; full size is the retailer’s own marking. Dollar figures use rough rates and are for ranking only. Where a record cannot support a figure, it is left out rather than guessed.The definitions, one by one →26 calendars for pets for 2026, a median of $0.53 a door.
