PetSmart® Canada Hosts Free Pet Photos With Santa
New Poll Shows that almost half (46%) of Pet Parents could be up for a formal family photo with their furry friends and Santa
BURLINGTON, ON, Dec. 10, 2019 /CNW/ - Pet parents are invited to bring the whole family to PetSmart for free in store photos with Santa! This annual event takes place December 14-15 and December 21-22 from 12:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. at all Canadian PetSmart stores. Pet parents can receive a digital photo from PetSmart or take photos on their own mobile device. From dogs, cats, guinea pigs, bunnies, lizards and more, all pets are welcome to meet Santa and let him know what is on their holiday wish list.
PetSmart's Santa photos aren't just for your furry friend, but for the whole family. A recent Pet Poll conducted by DART Insight, found that 46 per cent of pet owners would include their pet in a formal family photo—and it doesn't get much better than a photo with jolly old Saint Nick. The Pet Poll revealed that Pet Parents from Quebec (53%) lead the way for a photo, followed by those from Atlantic Canada (47%), British Columbia/Alberta (45%), Ontario (43%) and Manitoba/Saskatchewan (40%).
For families who have a specific theme they want to capture in their photo, PetSmart can help get your pet ready. For fancy photos, a simple accessory like the Merry & Bright™ Holiday Plaid Bow Tie Cat Collar or the Merry & Bright™ Holiday Tie Collar Slide will help elevate your pet's look. If wearing festive sweaters with Santa is your family tradition, try the Merry & Bright™ Holiday Knitted Present Pet Sweater or the Merry & Bright™ Holiday Reindeer Sweater Small Pet Costume. For anyone looking to be part of Santa's squad, the Merry & Bright™ Holiday Elf Pet Costume or the Merry & Bright™ Holiday Mrs. Claus Pet Costume & Bows will have your pet looking like they're from the North Pole.
Whichever theme you decide on, make sure to tag PetSmart on Instagram and Facebook at @PetSmartCanada and use the hashtag #PetSmartCan and #PetSmartParties.
