Pro Tips for Picture-Perfect Pet Photos With Santa
Want to make sure you get that Instagram-worthy shot? Here are some tips:
Get them ready: Put their festive outfit on them at home a few times, so it’s not something brand new the day of the photo (yes, dress them up—it’s adorable!). This helps reduce picture-day jitters.
Tire them out: Take your pup for a walk or play session before arriving. A slightly tired pet is often a calmer, more cooperative pet!
Bring the goods: Pack their favorite treats or toy to help keep their attention during the photo.
Dress festive: This is your chance to go all out with holiday sweaters, reindeer antlers, or Santa suits. PetSmart even has holiday pet outfits for under $10!
Why We Love This Deal
We absolutely love that both stores are making this completely free. No hidden fees, no obligation to buy prints—just pure holiday joy captured with your fur baby. Plus, these photos make the BEST holiday cards!
With more than 1,700 PetSmart locations and Petco stores across the country, chances are you have one nearby. Don’t wait though—PetSmart slots are booking fast, and this Saturday is already here for Petco!
