Custom Pet Apparel FAQ: Previews, Proofs, and Timing

Custom pet apparel should not feel like a mystery order. This FAQ explains how the free preview, photo upload, artist proof, and production steps work at Dilly Dally Dog.

Can I preview before checkout?

Yes, on select products. Upload one clear dog or cat photo and generate a free shopping preview so you can see the artwork direction and placement before buying.

Is the free preview exactly what gets printed?

No. The free AI preview is a shopping preview. After you order, a real artist refines the final portrait and sends a proof for your approval before production.

Do you print before I approve the proof?

For custom products, proof approval is required before printing. If we do not hear back, production may be delayed while we follow up.

What photo should I upload?

Use a bright, clear photo with the pet’s full face visible. Front-facing or lightly angled photos usually work better than blurry, dark, distant, or tightly cropped images.

Which gift should I choose first?

If you are unsure, start with the custom pet hoodie, custom pet sweatshirt, or custom dog dad hat. These are wearable, personal, and easy to gift.

What if I am ordering close to a holiday?

Order as early as possible. Custom orders need time for artwork, proof approval, production, and shipping. Watch for the proof email so production is not held up.
