PetSmart’s popular pet photos with Santa return nationwide on December 13–14, offering families a chance to capture festive, shareable holiday moments with their pets. The annual event invites pets of all kinds—dogs, cats and small animals—to pose for a complimentary photo with Santa at every PetSmart store across the country.
Pet parents can now book their free photo session at PetSmart.com. Each store will feature a seasonal backdrop, with a PetSmart associate dressed as Santa to greet pets and pose for photos.
To help pets look their holiday best, PetSmart offers a full line of festive apparel, including sweaters, costumes and accessories, with many items priced under $10. The PetSmart Salon is also offering a limited-time $10 holiday add-on to any grooming service, which includes a plush toy gift, a festive bandana and a holiday spritz.
PetSmart shared simple tips to help pets shine during their photos:
-
Dress them in seasonal attire such as a cozy sweater, reindeer headband or holiday costume.
-
Introduce new outfits at home to help pets adjust and feel comfortable.
-
Let pets burn off energy before the session with a quick walk or playtime.
-
Use toys or treats to hold their attention and keep them focused during the photo.
During the two-day event, shoppers can explore a wide selection of holiday toys, treats, bedding and apparel, with options for pets of all species. Treats Rewards members can also activate a special offer to earn 5X Treats Rewards points on all in-store purchases made December 13–14.
