FAQ

PET PORTRAITS

Do you send previews before printing my pet portrait?

Of course! Our main goal is to ensure that you’re happy so we will never print before receiving your approval. Your preview will be sent to the email address provided during checkout within 3-5 business days.

Does the background of my photo matter?

Background does not matter as we will focus on your pet! What’s most important is that nothing is obstructing the view of your pet and that you have followed our photo tips.

Can you add or remove items from my photo?

We automatically remove collars (unless you ask us not to in the comments section). Other than collars, we cannot add or remove anything to your pet portrait. That said, please leave your request in the comment box as our designers are sometimes able to work their magic!

Will my photo work?

The higher the quality of your photo, the better your pet portrait will turn out!

• Close up photos that clearly show your pet’s features work best.
• Photos should be taken outdoors or in a well-lit environment.
• Take a photo of your pet at eye-level if possible.
• Sitting or standing poses result in great photos. 

For tips, check out our photo guideline here. You can also email us at hello@gems andnuggets.com and we would love to help!

We will be in touch if we believe your photo will not result in a high quality portrait.

Can I send additional photos of my pet so your artists can choose the best one?

Please do! Our artists will review your photos and we will recommend the best one. Please email hello@gemsandnuggets.com and put your order number in the subject line.

Do you do other animals other than dogs and cats?

We can create portraits of any animal out there- whether you have a horse, a rabbit or even a bird.

Can I have more than one pet in a portrait? 

Coming soon!

Can I change my order?

Please contact us as soon as possible and we will do our best to accommodate your changes. Email your changes to hello@gemsandnuggets.com. Please note that we cannot guarantee that the changes can be made if our artists are far into the process. 

No changes can be made after your order has been printed!

Do you accept black and white photos?

Yes but this also means your pet portrait will be black and white as we do not add color.

What are the dimensions of the prints and frames?

We offer the following:

8” x 10”

12” x 18”

16” x 24”

Just let us know if you would like different dimensions. We'll see what we can do!

Please note, we cannot emphasize how important good quality photos are. Clear, focused and well-lit photos make for beautiful portraits!

 Can I return my artwork?

As your portrait is customized, we do not accept returns unless you received the delivery damaged.

Can I cancel my order?

You may cancel your order within 24 hours of checking out. If more than 24 hours have passed, we are unable to guarantee cancellation as our artists begin illustrating once an order is placed.

IMPORTANT NOTE:

Your artwork is created based on the photo that you submit. All the portraits on our site were made from high quality and high resolution photos. If you submit a low quality photo (see photo guideline here), your portrait will reflect this.
