FAQs

🐾 Before You Order

What kind of photo should I upload?
A clear, well-lit photo with your pet’s face visible works best. For examples and tips, please see our Photo Guide.
No perfect photo? Or want a more stylized look?
That’s exactly what our Portrait Drawing Service is for. We’ll hand-draw your pet in your chosen style. Add the Portrait Drawing Service to the same cart as your product (it’s a one-time fee per pet). If you’re buying multiple items and want the same portrait on all of them, just leave a note in the cart like: “Use this portrait for every item in this order.”
Can I use my own design instead of a photo?
Yes. If you already have artwork (from us or elsewhere), just click “Upload your photo” on the product page to upload your design file, then place your order. (PNG/JPG/PDF, 300 DPI works best)
Can you include multiple pets in one design?
Yes. You can upload separate photos and tell us how you’d like them arranged. If you’re choosing Portrait Drawing, please add the drawing service once per pet.
Do you work with all animals (not just dogs/cats)?
Absolutely—birds, rabbits, reptiles, horses, and more. Upload your favorite photo and choose your style.

🐾 Place Your Order

How does ordering work?
Pick your product → choose variations → upload 1–3 photos → (optional) add Portrait Drawing → checkout. Full guide: How It Works.
What file types work for upload?
PNG or JPG is perfect. Higher resolution (300 DPI) gives the best result.
My file won’t upload—what should I do?
Try a smaller file or a different format (PNG/JPG). If it still fails, contact us and we’ll help get the file through.
I’m ordering several items—can you use the same photo for all of them?
Yes—leave a cart note: “Use the same photo for every item in this order.”
If you want different photos for different products, please upload the exact photo on each product page. Make sure each photo is clear; if a photo isn’t suitable, we’ll contact you.
Which payment options do you accept?
We accept PayPal and major debit/credit cards, including Mastercard, Visa, and Discover. Discount codes and gift cards can be applied at payment.
Will I see a proof before you make it?
Yes. We email a digital proof within 2 business days (timing may vary by style/product). Please reply within 24 hours if you need changes; if we don’t hear back, we’ll proceed to production.
Ordering as a gift—can you ship directly and include a message?
Yes. We offer gift packaging and gift cards (this is a paid add-on). Leave your note at checkout like: “gift message: xxxxx” and we’ll handwrite it on the card and ship with the product.
I made a mistake—can I change my order or address after paying?
Contact us ASAP with your order number. After 12 hours, we may not be able to change it if production has begun.
Do you provide a receipt or invoice with the products?
No. We don’t include printed receipts or invoices in the package.
