SITTING FEE
The sitting (photo session) fee in PETCO is $5.00 for up to 3 pets. ($5.00
for each additional pet) Due to the high demand for our services, we can
only allow one 20 minute photo session per family for our special PETCO
price of $5.00
APPOINTMENTS
We work by appointment and allow 20 minutes to photograph your pet(s) and
view your portraits. This is normally enough time to complete a photo
session. As hard as we try to stick to the schedule, occasionally we may
run behind due to customers arriving late or working with pets that are
just not in the mood to pose for pictures. We thank you now for your
understanding and patience should that occur. We may not be able to
accommodate customers who totally miss their appointment time. If you are
running late, a courtesy phone call to the photographer in the store is
always helpful.

THE PHOTO SESSION
The photographer will take several
different poses with a variety of backdrops and props. We carry several
different backdrops including current holiday/seasonal backdrops with us.
We can usually photograph multiple pets both individually and together.
Pet parents and/or children can be included in some of the portraits at no
extra charge.
VIEW ORDER AND PAY TODAY
You will view the digital images
immediately after the photo session, choose the poses you like, place your
order and pay in full. You pay PETCO directly and can use cash, check,
debit card or credit card. Prices start from $24.99 and go up to whatever
you feel like spending.
PICK UP DATE
The pictures are delivered back to the
store 2-3 weeks after the photo day. You will be advised of the exact
delivery date. You can come any day after that to pickup your portraits.
Ask at the front register or store manager when picking up.
EXTRA ACTIVE DOGS
Your dog must be able to sit on the table
while under your command or control.
Generally, if your pet is not calm enough to sit still for at least one
picture within 10-12 minutes, the photo session will have to end. Ten
minutes might not seem like a long time to you or me, but to a dog who
doesn’t want to sit still; it is a very long time.
ASSISTANCE
If you have two large active dogs,
consider bringing someone to help you.
If you are bringing more than two pets, we require you bring an assistant.
HEALTH AND SAFETY
Due to concern for the health and safety
of all pets and people, we are not able to photograph:
GIANT
BREEDS
Because of the portable nature of our photographic equipment and space
limitations, we may not be able to accommodate giant breeds in all
stores. If you have a Great Dane, St Bernard, Irish Wolfhound, Mastiff or
other giant breed, please contact the photographer before making an
appointment.
NOTE:
Occasionally an animal may exhibit signs
of extreme stress. The photographer is a former Veterinary Technician and
Dog Trainer with 20 years of pet photography experience and can recognize
when an animal is too uncomfortable to continue. If the photographer
decides not to continue with the photo session, please understand it is in
the best interest of your pet. The photographer’s decision is final.
Please turn off your cell phone before your
photo session starts.
