Please keep in mind that there may be other pets present during your time slot, and we kindly request your cooperation in maintaining a comfortable environment for everyone. While we strive to have each session as stress-free as possible, due to the public setting, it may not always be feasible.

We encourage all pet owners to arrive as close to their schedule time slot as possible to minimize interactions with other pets. To ensure the safety and comfort of all animals, please leash or safely contain your pets until your session begins, and follow guidance provided by Santa’s team.
