Which Christmas style should I pick for the dog?
Styles such as Santa Hat put the dog in holiday dress, and there are dozens of year-round styles too, from Royalty to Van Gogh. Previews are free: up to 10 a day and 30 in total until your first pet order. Try two or three styles, then put the best one on the gift.
When do I need to order dog gifts for Christmas 2026?
For delivery by Christmas in the contiguous US:
- Ugly Christmas sweaters: order by Wednesday, November 25.
- Everything else: order by Monday, November 30.
These are recommended dates, not a guarantee. Every item is made to order: production usually takes 2 to 5 business days, up to 10, and US standard shipping takes 3 to 5 business days after that.
Can I put two dogs, or the dog and the cat, on one gift?
Yes. Choose how many pets, up to 10, and add one photo per pet if they are in separate photos. Pets are drawn left to right in the order you set.
What photo of the dog works best?
Use a photo in good light with the dog's face clearly visible. Phone photos work, including iPhone HEIC files, and you can crop to the dog after you upload.
What if it is not right?
Redo a preview as many times as your free previews allow before you buy. After delivery, if an item arrives damaged, misprinted or not as described, email us within 14 days with the order number and a photo, and we send a free replacement or a refund.
