PAYMENT & DELIVERY

THE COSTUME COLLECTION

Your Photos: Should I take a new photo?

We highly recommend that you take new photos for us to achieve the best final result. As natural daylight is the best option take some photos outdoors such as in the garden, park or on your next dog walk.

Top Tip - For the very best results take the the photo's of your dog at their eye level - crouch down or with small dogs hold them in your arms to the side of your body.

Your Photos: Can I use my mobile?

Yes! All modern smartphones take excellent photos, and chances are that you will have it with you on your next dog walk.  A good tip is to check that the phone settings are set to taking the largest photo size possible.

Your Photos: How many photo's shall I take?

Pick a costume and note if the head is turned a little to one side.
Take a selection of matching photos - Top Tip: hold a treat to turn their head a little.
Don't forget to take a photo straight on. Have a look through the photos, and email us the best 1-3 variations.

Your Photos: Can I use an old photo?

Absolutely! We all have favourite photos of our four-legged friends including those that may no longer be with us. Preferably the photo has been taken at eye-level, showing the whole dog’s head, and is nicely exposed.
If in doubt, just get in contact with us before you order. Our email is: woof@fourlegsonetale.com
