At a time when doting pet parents take every opportunity to include their pets in seasonal festivities, BARK launched a Season’s Sweetings Advent Calendar for dogs in anticipation of the 2024 holiday season. This Costco-exclusive release shares eight themed BARK toys, plus 16 treats in fun shapes like Christmas trees, gingerbread and more.
Last year, the calendar debuted online and at select Costco locations, resulting in sold-out products and constant restocks. This year, BARK and Costco are better prepared for the high demand from loving pet owners and the Season’s Sweetings Advent Calendar is arriving at Costco's website and stores across the country to make it even more accessible to the strong community that wants to purchase and gift the fun-filled advent calendar for dogs before it sells out again.
