April 9, 2022: Photos with the Easter Bunny at Your Local PetSmart
PetSmart stores across the country are offering this photo opportunity on Saturday, April 9, and pet parents can book their photo appointment here. Booking time with the Easter Bunny is just the first step (book your appointment here!) Booking time with the Easter Bunny is just the first step; getting the pawwfect photo is next. To achieve the look, PetSmart training expert Jodie Havens recommends four tricks to get the best photo moment with a pet: Dress them up for the holiday to create a photo moment you’ll always remember, such as in an Easter Bunny ears headband, a pastel-colored bowtie, an Easter chick dog hoodie or even a full bunny costume. Use a squeaker toy, hold a treat, call their name or make sounds you know they’ll respond to throughout the photo-taking process. Get them to play with you. Pair the sight of the camera with treats and give them the goodies after a few photo frames. Keep up the treats after the photo session concludes.
