Armitage Pet Care’s Good Boy Advent Calendar for Dogs is already proving very popular with pet owners this year, appearing in the top five bestselling Christmas products in a nationwide list.

The popular GTN Bestsellers Top 50 charts which track the top selling products in garden centres nationwide, using Epos data, has the dog calendar at No 5 in the Christmas Products list, behind festive favourites like History & Heraldry Angel Hanging Decoration,  Suki Personalised Angel Ornament, Suki Personalised Snowman/Snowgirl Ornament, and History & Heraldry Personalised Gift Box.

Trevor Pfeiffer, director of GTN and Bestseller analyst, said: “Advent calendars for pets are always very popular between now and December but to show up so high and so early is testament to the product’s on-going success.

“We all know that pet owners love to spoilt their animals and this is another example of dogs and cats becoming a cherished part of family life.

“I would urge all pet retailers to stock up on Christmas stocking fillers for dogs and cats this year. You could be on to a winner.”
