Meow-y Christmas! Even Santa Claus knows, when our furry family members are being naughty or nice! And, because dogs and cats are family, pet parents have to make them part of all of the holiday traditions, including getting a photo with Santa Claus. (Or how about Santa Paws? Santa Claws?) You can — for FREE — at PetSmart.

Meet our new MHOTC Mascot — Peter Bravestrong!
