Pet Santa Photos in Brisbane 2023

Thinking about getting Santa Paws Pet Photos with your favourite pet?

We all know Santa loves children and animals, but did you know why Santa likes to meet your fur-kids before Christmas too? Well, it’s so the dogs won’t bark and wake the kids on Christmas Eve of course! Santa also likes to know whether your pet prefers squeaky toys, balls, or food treats because dogs and cats are part of the family and deserve gifts too. If you want to find out where you can take your dog or cat (or both!) to paws for a pawtrait with Santa Paws, read on.

Wondering what the best family dog is? We know!
