Last weekend, PetSmart hosted photo events with the Big Guy himself at all of its stores nationwide. (If you missed it, the national chain will be doing it again from 12pm to 4pm this weekend!) Naturally, this resulted in some truly frame-worthy shots.

All this goldendoodle wants is kissies for Christmas.

Cats got in on the merriment as well, but they were… significantly less enthused.

So I took my dog and cat to take a picture with Santa today …. Well actually I took my dog my cat my best friends cat and my girlfriends dog to take a picture with Santa today 🙂 pic.twitter.com/KA3WkdyI4G

Dennis does not understand why he was wrenched from a perfectly good nap to be held by a total stranger.

Proud pet owners brought some of their other furbabies as well, like this duck named Munchkin.

This hamster dressed up as a reindeer.

Nina the pig.

And this snake.
