Make the holidays even merrier by sharing the joy of Christmas with your four-legged family members!

Include your pet in this year’s festivities by making this cute DIY advent calendar for dogs or cats- all furry besties will love it!

To put together this fun advent treat calendar, you won’t have to break the bank. In case you don’t already have most of the supplies at home, all of them can be found at a local dollar store or craft store.
