Free Pet Pics With Santa At PetSmart

DARIEN, IL — 'Tis the season to bombard your friends and relatives with pictures of Santa holding your little bundle of joy. We mean, of course, your pet! Santa Claus will be making stops at PetSmart locations throughout the country on Dec. 9 and 10 and Dec. 16 and 17 to snap free pics with pets and to hear just what new toy little dogs and cats want this holiday season.

PetSmart noted in a Facebook post that the event is 100% free and that most pets are welcome, including dogs, cats, ferrets, sugar gliders, non-venomous reptiles, other small animals, and even pot-bellied pigs!

Santa will pose for a digital photo with your pet and owners are welcome to be in the photo too in case Fido gets fidgety. If you have more than one pet, don't worry! PetSmart says it will do its best to get all your pets into one pic.

PetSmart locations in the U.S. and Canada are participating in the free pics with Santa event, which takes place Saturday, Dec. 9 and Dec. 16 and Sunday, Dec. 10 and Dec. 17 from 12 p.m. to 4 p.m.
