The friendly guide

How to order your sign

Prefer to watch? The whole thing in about a minute.

01

Pick your style

Two ways to go: Full body shows your whole dog in their exact pose — sitting, sprawled, mid-step. Headshot is their head and chest, with the fur feathering out into the steel. Can't decide? Headshots are foolproof — every phone has a great face photo on it.

Choose a great photo

This matters most, because we draw your dog's exact pose from your photo — what you send is what gets cut. The checklist:

  • One dog in the shot
  • For full body: ears to paws, all in frame
  • Sharp, well-lit, dog fills most of the photo
  • No heavy crops, blur, or two-dog photos

An everyday phone photo is perfect. No studio required.

Upload & tell us who it is

We draw your sign

Grab a coffee — this takes a few minutes. We trace your dog's pose, markings, and expression into cut-ready steel art. The page updates by itself, and we email you a link too, so you can close the tab.

Meet your sign

We draw your sign straight from your photo and show you the result — sometimes a couple of versions to choose from. Pick the one that looks most like your pup. Black is steel, white is cut away — the preview is exactly what the plasma cutter follows, right down to the last detail.

Sized to your dog

No guesswork — we read your dog's proportions and size the sign for you, a big, bold piece scaled to fill the wall. The exact dimensions and price show right on your preview, all cut from solid 16-gauge steel.

Approve — then we fire the torch

Payment happens only after you approve the design. Then your sign goes straight into the cut queue here in Ramsey, Minnesota, and ships to your door ready to hang.
