Fluff up your four-legged friends Manningham – ‘tis the season for snaps with Santa.

Westfield Doncaster is officially in Christmas mode with plenty of activities and promotions to get shoppers in the festive spirit.

And topping the list are the pet photography sessions – which have been increased this year due to popular demand.

Dogs, cats and rabbits can be brought into the centre for the sessions on Thursday and Friday nights — as long as they are on a leash or in a cage.

Owners also need to book in advance and bring waste disposal bags in case of an emergency.

Alfie, a kelpie-cross-dachshund, jumped onto Santa’s knee this week, ‘promising’ to not bark loudly when he visits owner Lauren’s house on Christmas Eve.

Westfield Doncaster centre manager Charlie Rimmer said the pet photography sessions would allow customers to “get a Santa photo they will cherish fur-ever”.

“Our customers tell us they love being able to celebrate Christmas with the whole family, including their furry, scaled or feathered friends,” he said.

“We invite them to come in and capture the purr-fect family paw-trait this Christmas.”

The centre is also offering Sensitive Santa photo sessions from 9am to 10am on November 24 and December 1.
