01

Photo & Shape

What photo works best for a custom pet rug?

Clear, high-resolution photos taken in good lighting work best. Make sure your pet’s face, markings, coat pattern, and important features are easy to see. If you are unsure which image will work best, see our guide to choosing the best pet photo .

Should I choose a custom shape or a rectangular rug?

A custom-shaped rug works especially well when one pet has a clear face or full-body silhouette. Rectangular layouts are often better for multiple pets, detailed backgrounds, longer wording, or more complex compositions. Explore our custom pet-shaped rug ideas for examples of different directions.

02

Size & Design Proof

What size custom pet rug should I choose?

Choose the size based on how the rug will be used and how much detail the design contains. Smaller sizes can work well for a pet resting area or a simple portrait, while larger sizes give full-body poses, text, and multi-pet layouts more room to read clearly. Use our custom shaped pet rug size guide to compare practical options.

Will I see the design before production?

Yes. Every custom order includes a free digital design proof before production. You can review your pet’s appearance, spelling, colors, shape, and overall layout before approving the final artwork. To see the full workflow, read how a pet photo becomes a custom rug .

Material & Delivery

When will my custom pet rug ship?

Production begins after you approve the final design. Most approved custom pieces ship from California within 72 hours after design approval. Carrier transit is additional, and U.S. delivery typically takes 7–10 business days after shipment.

Should I choose a floor rug or a wall hanging?

Floor-rug styles use a soft 8 mm faux-cashmere surface with a 4 mm cushioned non-slip backing, for about 12 mm total thickness. Wall-hanging styles use a separate faux-silk construction with approximately 12 mm pile and an external material weight of about 1400 gsm. Choose based on whether you want the piece used on the floor or displayed as personalized wall art.
