If you're looking to include your furry friends in the Christmas festivities, head over to Kellyville Pets for their Santa Paws photo shoot. The shoots run across Saturdays and Sundays, with a few late night Thursdays. Bookings are essential with a $5 deposit to secure the booking, which goes to Animal Welfare League NSW. There are multiple packages available depending on how many pets and people you'd like in the shot. If you have an anti-social dog, they are also providing a 'Caution: No Dogs' package to allow your pupper to meet Santa by themselves.
