Santa Paws time is here once again and your best festive pet pictures have really been helping us get into the spirit of the season.

As always, our readers have kept Santa’s stocking fully stocked with pets of all shapes and sizes in their festive finery.

Looking for some outfit inspiration for your own pet companion? Look no further than these spectacular snaps.

Don’t worry if we have not featured your picture yet. We have been inundated with photographs from our brilliant readers – and we will use as many as possible online or in print before the festive season is over.
