Photos with Santa for a Cause 2026

We’re thrilled to bring back one of our favourite Bodega Pets traditions — Photos with Santa for a Cause!

This year, we are raising funds for Ned’s Wish – an Alberta-based animal charity committed to supporting law enforcement and the Canadian Armed Forces by providing financial and educational support to enhance the quality of life for their K-9 retirees in Canada.

Date: Sunday, Dec 6^th, 2026
Time:
• 10AM – 6PM — Regular sessions
• 6PM – 8PM — Sensitive or shy pets’ sessions

Cost: $25 per session

You may bring as many pets and humans as you’d like for each session. Participants will receive 2 professionally edited digital photos after the event via email.
If you have multiple pets and wish to receive more photos, please consider booking additional sessions.

Each session will feature festive backdrops, professional lighting, and a sprinkle of holiday magic.

Please Note:
- All tickets are final sale and non-refundable. However, tickets are transferable — feel free to gift yours to a friend or family member if you’re unable to attend.

- The 6PM–8PM sessions are reserved for our sensitive or shy pets who may appreciate a quieter environment. During these sessions, the store will be closed to the public, with only one group in the store at a time to ensure a calm and comfortable experience for everyone. If your pet is comfortable around people and other pets, we kindly ask that you book one of our regular sessions instead, so we can keep these quieter time slots available for those who need them most. Thank you for helping us make this a more inclusive and comfortable experience for all our furry friends!

Every dollar count:
Bodega Pets Foods & Supply will donate 100% of proceeds directly to Ned’s Wish — no administrative or credit card fees will be deducted.
Additional cash donations are always welcome at the event, with every dollar going toward supporting these deserving K-9 retirees.

A festive photo, a cherished memory, and a little love for the four-legged heroes who have given so much. We can’t think of a better way to celebrate the season.

Reserve your session today and help us spread a little extra love this Christmas!
