Send us a clear photo of your dog, cat, rabbit or horse and we turn it into an embroidered portrait: a compact stitched likeness with the pet’s name underneath, on a sweatshirt, hoodie or cap. The portrait is drawn by hand from your photo into a stitch file, so the ears, markings and expression that make your pet recognisable are what we keep; backgrounds, leashes and collars are left out unless you ask for them.
\nWhat makes a good photo: face toward the camera, in daylight, with the whole head in frame and nothing covering the eyes. One pet per portrait gives the sharpest result; two pets side by side work on a centre-chest placement where there is room. Portraits sit best on the left chest for a quiet look or centre chest for a larger stitch; on caps the portrait is simplified to the head only. Add the pet’s name, a date, or a short line such as the breed or a nickname in the thread colour of your choice.
\nYou see the portrait proof before we stitch, and you can ask for changes to markings, colours or the name until it is right. Approved pet portraits are stitched within 1-3 business days and ship free with tracking to the US, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. Pet portrait pieces are covered by the same 60-day returns as everything else; if the likeness is not what the proof showed, the Refund Policy explains how a replacement or refund works. Remembrance pieces for a pet that has passed are welcome in this category; the FAQs explain how we handle older or lower-quality photos.
