What a season it was. See you in November 2026.
In 2025, 1,600 families joined us to capture the magic of Christmas with their beloved pets. Together we made an incredible difference for the Animal Welfare League, raising over $15,000 through the $5 donation included in every Santa photo ticket and our in-store Christmas raffle.
While Santa has now returned to the North Pole, we're already counting down to November 2026 when he'll make his way back to Kellyville Pets for another season of festive fun.
