Dog owners across the UK are facing a Christmas crisis as one of the nation's favourite canine advent calendars has completely sold out online, sending panicked pet parents scrambling for alternatives.
The Great Advent Calendar Rush
Pets at Home's hugely popular Advent Calendar for Dogs has disappeared from virtual shelves, leaving many devoted dog owners empty-handed just as the festive season approaches. The calendar, which features 25 days of delicious treats, has become a Christmas tradition for countless British households.
Where to Find Remaining Stock
While online supplies have vanished, there's still hope for determined shoppers. Physical Pets at Home stores may still have limited stock available, according to company representatives. The retailer confirmed to the Mirror that while online availability is exhausted, customers should check their local branches for potential remaining calendars.
Why This Calendar is So Popular
This isn't just any dog treat calendar - it's become something of a cult favourite among British pet owners. Here's why it's in such high demand:
- 25 days of variety with different treats behind each window
- Perfect for countdown excitement - because dogs deserve Christmas magic too
- Great value at just £6 when purchased with a loyalty card
- Nutritionally balanced treats that won't upset sensitive stomachs
Don't Panic - There Are Alternatives
For those who've missed out, all is not lost. Several other retailers including B&M, The Range, and Sainsbury's are offering their own versions of dog advent calendars. However, the Pets at Home version remains the gold standard for many pet parents.
"We're seeing unprecedented demand for pet advent calendars this year," a Pets at Home spokesperson commented. "Our customers really embrace making Christmas special for every member of the family, including their furry friends."
Pro Tip for Smart Shoppers
If you're determined to get your paws on this year's sold-out calendar, act fast and check smaller Pets at Home locations rather than major city centre stores, as these often have stock that lasts longer.
Remember, the early dog gets the treat - so don't wait until December 1st to start your Christmas shopping for your four-legged friend!
