It’s pretty special when Santa comes to visit our FurBaby Dog and Puppy Daycare and Grooming Centre! And, it’s even more special when he takes time from his busy schedule to have a photo taken with adorable cute dogs, puppies, cats, birds, ponys and many other adorable fur and feather babies. Santa Paws is for the whole family you and your partner, children, parents, siblings, cousins and even your next door neighbour along with all your pets are always welcome to be included!
FurBaby hosts its Santa Paws event every year so your beloved dog or puppy (or any other pet) can have a photo with Santa. And, while you receive a super cute Christmas memento, you also give back to our Western Australian community, as this year we will be raising funds for Lifeline WA.
FurBaby is all about dogs and puppies so we know how to get your dog or puppy to look at the camera to make sure your photo is super cute! The very talented Richelle from Collar At Ya! is an amazing animal photographer, her work is incredible and we have been lucky to have her take our wonderful Santa Paws photos over the last five years.
This year we have transformed our VID Area into a Christmas wonderland, with Christmas trees and baubles galore, all set up for Santa’s visit, so he is nice and comfortable and your photos will be perfect! We are all skilled with animals so you can be assured we will be able to set the scene for a great photo of your special dog or puppy (or any other pet) spending time with Santa.

HOUR SESSIONS
This year we listened to what you want and instead of lining up, we will pre-sell tickets for designated sessions. This means you don’t have to spend time waiting and you can quickly come and go to make meeting Santa an enjoyable and stress-free experience.
Sessions have been organised into hours. We ask that you get to your session in the first 15mins, and expect to wait up to 45mins to have your photo taken.
There is one fast pass, per session, available if you don’t want to wait!
For safety we ask that all animals are kept on a lead or in a pet carrier until they meet Santa. As the Cafe is no longer operating, you will be able to wait under cover and inside until it’s your turn, so no more waiting in the heat. It doesn’t take much time to have a photo taken with Santa, so the line will move quickly.
2021 SANTA PAWS COMMUNITY – RAISING MONEY FOR LIFELINE WA
Nothing is more important that ones health, that includes their mental health. If you are anything like us, your precious furbaby/ies have been with you through thick and thin. They have sat there and listened to your worries, and cuddled you nice and tight when the days just seem a little blue.
We love our dogs, and all our pets, and know that they enrich our lives in so many ways. If you want to read more about how our dogs are great for our mental and physical health you can read all about it here.
To celebrate our precious furbabies, we are supporting our friends at Lifeline WA this Santa Paws. We know how much they do for the community and we want to give back to them!
COST
You’re welcome to have multiple photos. For instance, if you want one photo of the whole family, and the next photo with just Santa and the dog/s, that is certainly possible. It will just cost $30 for each photo. You won’t have to decide how many photos you want when booking your session, this can be decided on the day.
As bigger groups take a lot longer, to get everyone looking at the camera, we need to factor in time to allow for bigger groups. Therefore, tickets will include 5 family members (this is any combination of humans and/or pets), any additional family member after the 5 is an additional $2.
TREATS – TO GET YOUR DOG TO LOOK AT THE CAMERA
DOG AGGRESSIVE/FEARFUL ANIMALS
The only time dogs need to be close to one another is waiting for the photo. So, what we suggest is… bring two people to Santa Paws, one waits inside, the other waits in the car with the dogs. When it is time for the photo, you can drive your car close to VID and sneak the dogs in and out. That way no one misses out on photos and everyone stays safe.
