Nowadays people want pet pictures not just of their children with Santa but with their pets as well.
Many people consider their dogs and cats as cherished members of the family. Because of this pet pictures with Santa have become almost a fad. A number of malls, as well as stores and animal shelters are now offering this service to the public. Most places only allow dogs or dogs and cats to be photographed, but some places have gone so far to allow just about any species to have their picture taken with Santa.
Not sure how Santa is going to feel when people show up with their pet cobra, alligator or skunk but it could be interesting... LOL !
So here are the places I have found in the Chicagoland Area that are offering these services...
